Today, participants in the #WriterFriendsChallenge community pause to recharge our creative spirits and embrace restorative rest. (Pssst, I'm reading "The Silkworm" by Robert Galbraith).
Today, members of the #WriterFriendsChallenge Communityβand their four-legged musesβare pressing pause to recharge our creative spirits. Henry was the first to conk out on the daybed in my writing studio. And yes, he snoresβ¦ like a chainsaw wrapped in a blanket.
#WriterFriendsChallenge asks what are some of my favorite things? After my family, friends, and readers, I would say sitting in front of the fireplace on our porch in the winter and watching the sunrise. Peace embodied.
Do you have a favorite place to just be?
I needed this today. Anyone else?

Here's a snippet from my WIP - the #LegendsofEvernyl book2

#writerfriendschallenge Does your main character like spending time in nature? Itβs a yes to that question. My novels take place in Vermont. Itβs hard to live here without enjoying nature. And not just nature. Itβs how nature changes through the seasons. #AmWritingMystery #LakeChamplain
A fun bookish outing #writerfriendschallenge
My favourite bookish outings involve beautiful buildings/homes, fabulous gardens, a bookshop, a Jane Austen connection, and above all else - tea and cake!
Share your bookish outings!

If your story had a one sentence life lesson, what would it be? #writerfriendschallenge #booksky #ruadhsrebels #legendsofevernyl #ScarlettRedemption #yafantasybooks
Does your MC have a theme song? #writerfriendschallenge
Yes, Ruadh has Scarlett Joy, written to bring hope to the people of Evernyl. It's also Ruadh's rallying cry pushing her to reclaim her throne

My best writer self care tip is.. TAKE A BREAK!
Thereβs only so much you can do staring at a screen or empty notepad. Go do something fun, take a nap, lay in the sun, anything. This often helps me to reset and gets the inspiration going again

A woodland background with a green, semi-transparent overlay with the title @Wrtiter.Friends.Challenge ~March 2025~. There are two columns of prompts, but only the first 8 are visible, the rest are blurred out. The prompt for #8 reads: International Women's Day. At the bottom of the overlay is the line "Created by @susanleighneedham".
A light blue background with white clouds. At the top in a pink rectangle is "INTERNATIONAL" below that it reads "WOMEN'S DAY" and in small letters below that it reads #AccelerateAction. Below that is an illustrated group of women of various perceived races, body types, clothing, hair colors, and disabilities. Each woman has at least one arm raised as a show of strength.
It's Day Eight of the #WriterFriendsChallenge!
"I donβt know about you, but a womanβs place is wherever the hell she wants to be."

In my current WIP, my historical fictionβs love interest is nicknamed Slim. His red hair and freckles along with the nickname is a tribute to my dad, seen in this picture with me - a long time ago! Is there a book character, who you read, where you loved their nickname?

A wooded background with a green semi-transparent overlay with the title @Writer.Friends.Challenge ~March 2025~. There are two columns of prompts, but only the first is visible, the rest are blurred out. The prompt reads: 1. Welcome! What does being a writer mean to you? At the bottom is the line Created by @susanleighneedham
An illustrated image portraying a light wood desk, with a round teal mat. On the mat is an open laptop, a blue and yellow notebook, a pair of glasses, an iPhone, several colored pens and pencils, a yellow moleskin notebook, a cup of coffee, a turquoise watch, and a small bunch of yellow daffodils.
"Being a writer is the truest form of me. It is the only way for me to purge big thoughts & emotions from my psyche."
