Nothing like a critique session on a lovely cafe patio to close out the summer! #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AmWriting 📚☕️

All things reading and writing. I have a soft spot for Sci-fi, Dystopian, and Thriller. Will be plunging into the Query trenches any day now!
In today's episode of "Am I living in a horror story?" my partner woke up during the night to me looking at the corner of the room and saying "Get out. You don't belong here. Stop staring at us." He flipped on the light, nothing was there. He turned it off then I said, "It's back." #BookSky 📚
My teaching job starts back up again on Wednesday, so my last day of freedom will be spent browsing at the library and bookstore followed by a writing session at a cafe. I'll miss you, summer. #BookSky #WritingCommunity
Asking for a friend... Is it appropriate to bring a book to a wedding in case there's an awkward gap between the ceremony and reception and you don't know the other guests? #BookSky #WritingCommunity 📚
I was able to let this little critter out of jail to join me on an editing session. One day she will be free. #WritingCommunity #BookSky #AmWriting
Finally got a real book shelf instead of just using the bottom ledge of my electric keyboard! I'm most proud of these two shelves. Reserve your judgement, they have not been alphabetized yet! #WritingCommunity #BookSky 📚
There's something so peaceful and meaningful about just spending a while browsing in a library surrounded by other people who also love a good story. #BookSky #WritingCommunity 📚
I just love it when you re-read a book series as a refresher and you pick up on the foreshadowing right away. #booksky
Ever read a horrendous book by an established Big 5 author and think, “My book is 1,000 times better than this”? Truth: It probably is. Well-known authors can put out a dud and still get published because their name sells. Publishing is tough, and it definitely isn’t fair. #AuthorSky #BookSky
There's a specific kind of misery that comes from knowing a scene doesn't work but not being able to name why. Much frustrate. #writing #author #writingcommunity #booksky #bookstagram #booktok ⚡️📚💙 📚👍🏼

Guilt-trip writing strategy: Printed critters to represent each WIP. Each are wrongfully accused and imprisoned, and I'm only allowed to take them out while working on the respective WIP. The guilt is STRONG. Must free them. Their sentence is up when the WIP is done. #BookSky #WritingCommunity
I wrote a chapter for a workshop. I've been staring at the "Send" button with the most crippling fear. What if I accidentally wrote something stupid? What if I only *think* I attached the right document. What if they hate it so much they laugh in my face and tear it up??? #WritingCommunity #BookSky
I'm envious of people whose dogs/cats enjoy cuddling up with them while they read. My lizard gets upset if I exist in the same room as him and turn a page too loudly #BookSky #WritingCommunity

Been having some unseasonably warm weather. While it's a bit anxiety-inducing, it's still a great opportunity for reading on the porch and enjoying some fresh air! #BookSky #WritingCommunity
Anyone else ever get the urge to quit your day job, run away to a different country, open a cafe/bookstore, and sell baked goods containg locally grown and foraged herbs? ☕️🌱📚 #BookSky #WritingCommunity
