Failure is an inevitability, personally, professionally. Authors, this is your sign to keep writing anyways. “How do you get over a failure?”… “You go back to work. You take advantage of the quiet time that a failure allows you. . . You try again. You fail better.” -Tomorrow & Tomorrow & Tomorrow

LOVED applying what I learned from @hillaryfazzari.bsky.social to my new WIP, “Obsidian.” Include the tip of the iceberg in opening scene. I drilled down to the “heart of the story” & worked my way out. Thanks, Hillary! #workinprogress #writerlife #writingjourney #writingupdate #yaauthor #yaauthors

“The Lies We Conjure” by @shhenning . WOW! This book captured me from page 1. Had me speed-reading (and I’m a slow reader) to find out the next twist and turn! Loved the characters, the setting, the lore! #BookRecommendation #bookstoread #yabook #ireadya #youngadultbooks #yareads

Book cover for "The Lies we Conjure" with this quote from book: “The smooth dark planks of the staircase bleed into a lush herringbone carpet that traps the sounds of our footsteps like secrets.” Rating:10/10

Spooky date night. Delicious, themed cocktails went along with performances of Edgar Allan Poe's eeriest works! Tell-tale Heart, The Black Cat, The Raven, and The Masque of the Red Death. #edgarallanpoe #datenight #literaturePosts

AHH! Couldn’t believe my luck to have a moment with AMAZING author Ali Hazelwood at Tucson Festival of Books! Her book, “Check & Mate” is similar to my Ya-in-progress “Canon of Katrina Quinn” – a piano performance romcom. #tucsonfestivalofbooks #yafiction #yabooks #yaauthorsofinstagram

@kchowrites.bsky.social My new writing friend and author Karen S. Chow published a MG performance/drama that has SO MUCH in common with my YA work in progress “The Canon of Katrina Quinn”. Can’t wait to read! #WritingCommunity #Writerslift #BookRecommendation #bookstoread

The line (completely out of context) “I imagine reaching out and tracing the veins running along the top of his hand, well-defined from playing the violin.” #Yafiction #yabook #ireadya #youngadultbooks #yareads #newauthor #yaauthor #RomCom

One of my Test Readers said this about a line in my book:
“You know that meme where Patcha is going ‘when the sun hits that spot just right, these hills sing’ ? Me rn”

#WIPSnips word of the day "iron" - Kat at her apartment... From my YA Rom-com "The Canon of Katrina Quinn" (in the querying trenches) #amwritingya #writingcommunity #writers #authors #writingprompts #romcom

I lean against the blistered wrought iron railing and dig for my Class of 2012 keychain. The miry smell of rain lingers on the breeze. That smell used to remind me of the years we were stationed in South Carolina when I was younger. Now it only brings back memories of the first time Dad locked me out of the Terrace Yikes apartment.

#WIPSnips word of the day 'cake' - used in the most untraditional way here in my YA novel-in-progress. #amwritingya #writingcommunity #writers #authors #writingprompts #romcom

A looming shadow stretches across the courtyard. Queen Banshee, wearing her vampire smile and signature fingerless gloves. Her red dress and layered skirt look like a blood-soaked wedding cake.
I square my shoulders.

This was a brilliant retelling of a classic, which I’m partial to (especially since my novel-in-progress is also a retelling). more... #BookRecommendation #bookstoread #Authorssupportingauthors #Yafiction #yabook #ireadya #youngadultbooks #yareads #newauthor #yaauthor

#WIPSnips word of the day "profession" "The Canon of Katrina Quinn" YA romcom/performance (For a YA, this word was in my manuscript an obscene number of times!)

Two years ago, I insisted on selling Grandma Viv’s pristine antique grand so we could buy groceries. That piano symbolized my future as a professional pianist—a dream Grandma and I shared. But I’d had no choice but to pawn it. You can’t bargain with survival.

#WIPSnips word of the day "cancel" From YA novel-in-progress "The Canon of Katrina Quinn"

“She um…my mom doesn’t work at Old Dominion anymore.” I run my fingers along the row of costumes, all labeled and neatly hung on the rack across from the mirrored wall.
“Oh no, Kat,” says my piano teacher. “I’m so sorry. I knew they were cutting staff, but I had no idea.”
My eyes burn. I push down the tears, at least until after the call. “So, I guess that means we need to cancel Saturday’s lesson?” I try not to make it a question, but I’m not sure if I succeed.
Miss Mirrum goes silent.
