Dog needs to be walked? Kids making a mess in the other room? Out of whiskey milk? Let’s face it, everyone has an excuse, but unfortunately a story doesn't write itself. With so many things competing for our attention, it’s easy to forget to make time to write. Luckily, it’s never too late to take writing off the back burner!

Please join us for the next writers chat on Thursday, September 7 at 10pm-12am EDT. We'll be sharing tips and providing support to help you overcome those pesky obstacles that are holding you back from writing that amazing Caryl fic you always wanted to write.

Have ideas for a future chat topic on Nine Lives? Send a PM to jaibhagwan, kaoscraze82, or whoswhatsitwhich with writing topics you'd like to discuss. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Our goal is to motivate you to keep writing!
