Y'all, it was a weekend! Saturday, I de-suckered the crepe myrtles and weeded the front walkway beds. Then 6 hours organizing tools. AND both properties are mowed. ๐Ÿ˜ค Creatively, I'm dying to get back to it. Can I count on you to be here dark and early for the #5amWritersClub?

Good morning, #5amWritersClub. I'm awake but it appears that my fingers are not. Maybe a bagel and an Earl Grey will wake them up. ๐Ÿคจ Have a great Saturday, everyone.

Good morning, #5amWritersClub. This morning I'm struggling with profanity. I rarely use profanity unless it's absolutely necessary, but this scene feels especially sensitive, given that it involves four teenagers. Do real teen curse? Absolutely. Do adults want to see that? Probably not.

Yikes, that was quite a weekend, #5amWritersClub! A plumbing leak, an absolute mess to clean up in my refrigerator, a Sunday afternoon AC failure . . . all on top of the normal weekend chores and chaos . . . Let's just say I'm glad it's Monday. ๐Ÿ˜‰ So, let's get this #writing this happening, shall we?
