Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

New year and we launched three open calls on day one. Writing is happening this year!! mailchi.mp/18fb184ddae9...

Authors: DO NOT. EVER. 😱 This author got lucky in that Emily was kind/professional enough to not include their name. Do this to a lot of reviewers on TikTok or Threads and you would get publicly, mercilessly dragged for your audacity and blacklisted by reviewers. Ratings aren’t for you!!

Thoughts? 😅 If I agree to review your book, that doesn't mean I will automatically give it 5 stars. And 4 stars is GOOD?! So confused. My reviews are usually pretty good at explaining why a book gets a particular rating. Feel very weird about this. I'll be thinking about it all night 😂 #BookSky

😍🫶🏻 thank you so much for the nominations!!

This is amazing!!! 😻

Freaking out!!! All 3 of my books were nominated!!

I always add chapter numbers at the very end of the revision process. I got to add those today. 42 chapters and she finally feels like a real book 🤩 #WritingCommunity

SO EXCITED to share this amazing piece about a dark secret and a great friend!

This is a very common scam these days—scammer poses as real author, makes friendly approach, then refers to their “agent” or marketer. I wrote about it a few weeks ago writerbeware.blog/2024/09/20/w...

You don't "deserve" rest. Rest is not a little treat you get for being good. Rest is actually necessary for survival. You _require_ rest.
