Another, feel good timeline cleanse, is due! Here you go! Enjoy! Try not to smile, let alone tear up.

Which one? Working on a presentation for my YA fantasy. #writingcommunity

The writing life.

I’m trying to teach myself how to paint landscapes, but painting the clouds are the most fun. I’m gonna try this again. #oilpainting

I haven’t picked up a paintbrush in over a year, but needed a break from writing. Decided to paint a sunset I took a picture of when driving to New Mexico. It’s small, and I might make a bigger one? #oilpainting #skypainters

This is true. #WritingCommunity Don't give up. (Just in case you needed to hear that today.)

What an honor! After seven long years, Everest has finally dained to sit in my lap ❤️ it only lasted a few minutes, but oh, the thrill! #cats

Going to try painting again soon. Taking a short break from writing. Why am I nervous? #oilpainting

Apparently, Everest is fed up with how long I’ve been editing… but I still have almost 200 pages to go. #cats #writingcommunity

I finally put together a Writer’s website. Still needs work, and a better photo etc. but it works for now! jennifermader.my.canva.site/writer

Just another lazy Sunday morning reading with Peter in my lap ❤️ 🐈‍⬛

Damn, I’m so proud of Minnesotans. Not so proud of Texas.

Option #2 for my romantasy deck...this is the one with the adult comps, since it's on sub both in the adult fantasy and YA markets. #fantasy #fantasywriters #writingcommunity

My romantasy is now sub in both the adult AND YA markets. The MMC is not a shadow daddy (really tired of these) though it IS both gritty and sweet/funny. I'm trying out this deck, but have another "look" I could use...I'll post that next :-) thoughts? Votes?#writingcommunity #fantasy #fantasywriters

It’s been a great Xmas full of games and puzzles, but I already want to take the decorations down. I feel so ready to start the new year after such a challenging 2025. I want to finish writing my second book, move more, and cherish every moment with my son before George and I become empty nesters.

What today feels like, until the rest of the house wakes up.

Mornin’ y’all.

I don't know if this is real or not. I just know that the sentiment behind it made me teary. If only we could be kind to people without them having to be desperate first.

I'll be at Books, Books, Books (my favorite event!) in Lancaster, PA on Saturday. I'd love to see you there! #romancelandia

A few small words of wisdom I’ve gathered and try to live by: “There is no sin in loving, only the lack of it.” “When you find yourself in a dark place, you get to decide whether it is a burial or a planting.” That’s it for today …

Arwen is almost 13 years old and has about as many gray hairs as me. 💕

So, I write fantasy and have been reading only fantasy for quite a while to better understand the market. But now, I’m ready for a pallet cleanser. I love historical fiction (and fiction in general) so does anyone have a suggestion for my next reading adventure? Especially if you are the author? ❤️

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
