📚💙 Just finished another great book! If you want a unique protagonist, lots of three dimensional characters, and a good cry, definitely check out The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh #booksky #bookrecs

Damn. Nothing hits quite like reading a poem that gives you that flicker of fully understanding, all the way down to your bones, just how miraculous it is to be alive

I don’t consider myself a very “woo woo” person, but I’m so in my head about jinxing my chances while querying. Like, if my mindset is anything short of positive and confident at all times, then I’m summoning rejection from the ether… #amquerying writer friends, is this just me? 🙃 #writingcommunity

I’ve been continuing my YA sci-fi/fantasy binge reading, and the latest was Skipshock by Caroline O’Donoghue. Fam this was such a fun read—it’s been a while since I’ve been so pulled in so fast—and now I’m desperate for the sequel 😭 #booksky #readersky www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/774228...

Third day in a row that I’ve spent the morning trying and failing to remember an important revision that I came up with last night right before I fell asleep that I didn’t write down there and then because I *definitely* wasn’t going to forget it… #writersky #writing #writingcommunity

I’ll never know how I went this many years without owning a hot water bottle

Read the Hunger Games prequels and then had to reread the original trilogy and boy oh boy does it hold up. GREAT books #booksky

Still got a lot of changes to make and I’m gonna try and cut about 10k words, but I typed THE END today 🥹 #writersky

My brain when I have a busy day full of other tasks: Aw man, why can’t we be writing right now?! Here’s three fun new ideas and 270 pretty sentences that you’ll absolutely forget later, ur welcome My brain when I sit down to write: Holdup, you expect me to do what now? #writing #WriterSky

I wrote to the end of my draft today, and to be scarily honest, I thought that I would feel more. Maybe I’m just tired? Maybe it’s a sign the ending isn’t quite right? Maybe I’m delirious from spending so many of my waking hours in a fantasy world? #WriterSky send help

Can’t make this stuff up…just as I am #writing THE climactic moment of my entire novel, all of my pens dry up on me. That is correct, pens plural, not one but THREE. All in the same sentence. The universe be like “challenge your protagonist amirite?” 🤣😅 #writingcommunity

Get you a writing group 🤩🥲 it’s the best! #writersky #writingcommunity

Today is my birthday, and I always enjoy knowing when I’m the same age as characters I love. Can you all think of characters who are 35 in their stories (or when something significant happens in their lives)? #BookSky #writingcommunity

I was aiming for this rewrite of my WIP to be around 90k words instead of the 99k of the original draft. Shoulda been easy since I’m switching from multi-POV to single, right? And yet this draft is on target to be at least 120k 🙃 oh the things I do to myself #writer #writingcommunity

If only I were as prolific as the spam emails in my inbox

Not to pat myself on the back too hard or anything, but this was probably the fastest I have ever filled a notebook 📒 Been rewriting my YA fantasy manuscript (and I’m one of those gremlins who loves hand-writing drafts) and filled a fresh notebook start to finish in a month! Small wins please clap!

I LOVE IT when authors include original songs in their books, and the lyrics are so good that my brain invents a melody for them without even trying 🤩 #booksky

How will I have the patience to start waiting in between episodes now that I’ve finished the entire backlist of The Shit No One Tells You About Writing??? 🥲 #writingcommunity #writing
