This week’s Thursday Thousand is another addition in my Greek mythology retelling sort of thing, featuring two of hell’s most notorious brothers—Thanatos, god of death, and Hypnos, god of sleep. . Follow the link in my bio to read about Hypnos falling in and out of love a lot, and Thanatos picking up all the pieces of his heart. And if you’re not caught up, don’t worry! All previous stories in this universe are also linked! . #marywrites #amwriting #writing #writersofinstagram #greekmythology #thanatos #hypnos #godofdeath #godofsleep #greek #thegatekeeper #shortstory #thursdaythousand https://www.instagram.com/p/B3cO1YMgd2m/?igshid=t3lvxenrgb8z

Thursday Thousand: The End of Bookstore Boys

I promise you there is a Thursday Thousand story at the end of this, but my introduction is a little bit longer than normal. Hopefully, this title stands true. Tuesday As I’m starting this po…

This week’s Thursday Thousand involves a very long intro detailing a 9-day challenge I set myself to finish a novel, and, if you last that long, the first chapter of my contemporary romance about two boys who learn how to coexist with love and loss.

Oh, Mason. 🔥 . This week, we’re taking it waaaaay back for Thursday Thousand, to a boy I met three years ago, one that has been beaten and torn apart until my heart couldn’t take it anymore, and I stopped writing. It wasn’t a long break, but the ugly words thrown at me (and Mason) were devastating, and it’s taken me a long time to come back to him. So read on if you dare because we both came out swinging on the other side. . #marywrites #amwriting #writing #writersofinstagram #mason #madhousechronicles #faery #shortstory #thursdaythousand https://www.instagram.com/p/B3uO29Agl1P/?igshid=rgtpta30n94v

Prepare yourself for some waterworks, this week’s Thursday Thousand is sad af. . I’ve been working on a Greek mythos retelling sort of thing, and today we’re taking a look at the king himself, Hades. Follow the link in my bio to read about him mourning Persephone’s return to the mortal realm for spring, as well as to find the links for all the other stories in this series! . #marywrites #amwriting #writing #writersofinstagram #greekmythology #hades #kingofunderworld #kingofhell #greek #shortstory #thursdaythousand #sadboy https://www.instagram.com/p/B3KKQamAqys/?igshid=1jxnxcneydzwd

How Do You Know When Your Novel is Done?

Okay, look, I have been searching for several minutes to find out who said this recently, but it is lost somewhere in the Twitter or Tumblr or Instagram void, it might have been Maggie or Victoria …

Apparently, I’ve written 19 novels in 16 years, and I am here to tell you it’s taken me that long to actually fully finish one.  And I think I might cry, I’m so relieved to know what this feels like now.

Thursday Thousand: Monsters Included

This post is going to feel a little like déjà vu because, like The End of Bookstore Boys, I promise you there is a Thursday Thousand story at the end of this, but my introduction is a little bit lo…

This week’s Thursday Thousand includes a long introduction about trying to write 30k words in 6 days and the super spooky first chapter of my recently finished novel about three sister witches and their accidentally summoned demon.

Thursday Thousand: The Messenger

Welcome to the Thursday Thousand! Every week, on Thor’s Day, I will be posting a short story (hopefully) written in advance. The only parameter is that it be, at minimum, 1000 words long. It can be…

Last night, while in the shower, I heard the line: “As messenger to the gods, Hermes was witness to the good, the bad, and everything in-between.”  And I knew.

This week’s Thursday Thousand is about a soft boy who loves flowers and is forced to bear witness to terrible things.

This week’s Thursday Thousand contains a little bit of cheating: it’s not a short story, but it is about the madwoman behind the words.
