I love creating (journaling, art, writing) in the physical more than the digital because it’s more tangible But I also look through my digital archives more than the physical ones

Being an English major is weird, sometimes I have to read a 150 page script in a week and the other week I get introduced to the most JAW DROPPING stories imaginable Luckily this week it was the later with “The Ones Who Stay and Fight” by N.K. JEMISIN

I come back to my WIP to see this as the last sentence I wrote yeah... that's going to need some editing

SUPER important question for the next book I am working on; if you were able to choose between reincarnation, an afterlife, or being a ghost once you die, what would you choose?

Welcome to day 2 of our countdown to #foodpit on Feb. 7th! Let's get to know those characters! Bonus points if you say what they would cook for you

I know this is such a popular and highly regarded book, but I am still BLOWN AWAY

it's time to start drafting a new book!! after spending 2025 mostly editing, I am so excited to dive into this new idea

I sent my book to my grandma to read last month. She said she would start it after the holidays, and then didn't say anything else so I figured she hadn't started yet turns out she's done... and now I am nervous because I was not able to properly prepare myself for her reaction

Who's started making their pitches for #foodpit?? In case you haven't, you can always compare the characters in your book to food Is your MC spicy? Fruity (either way)? Do they bend like noodles? Are they raw? Whatever makes your character interesting, explore it through food! #writingcommunity

We are one day closer to #foodpit on 2/7! Todays pitch idea is: sharing food from your book (real or made up). It can be a home cooked meal , a type of berry they turn into a wine offering, or just a plain grilled cheese if that's what your world has! #writingcommunity

After a 3 week break from writing, I have found that 2 weeks is my maximum I am starting to go a little stir crazy

I may or may not be a part of the team behind this 👀 if you have any poetry laying around make sure to send it in!

Pitch your WIP badly in one sentence. Here's mine: A girl with murderous rage tries to kill one person while leaving the rest of the world intact (but fails) #amwriting #writingcommunity

I am not sure what constitutes the difference between "visited here" and "stayed here" so I only counted it as a stay if I was there for more than 2 nights

It’s dangerous working across from an art store, because on my break I think I‘ll take a quick little stroll and find myself in the yarn aisle

some times i am worried that my dreams are happening too slow and other times I write "I want to become apart of a lit. mag team this year" and the next day I find out a friend started on this fall and wants some help

I thought the airport would be busier on a post holiday Saturday morning, but there was no one in tsa or bag check so now I have over an hour until my flight even starts boarding I’m on page 140 of my book, time to see how much I can get through

last year when I went to the movies every trailer was for a sequel, remake, or live action This year there was only one sequel I don’t know what changed in the movie industry, but I would call that progress

a year and 87k words later I am so proud of where this book has ended up. like genuinely I can't believe that this is a world that I crafted by myself This year I wasn't able to accomplish as much as I wanted to, but these past few months with this book have helped remind me all I am capable of

i have been working on the same two projects for over a year now and it's a bit wild to think in less than a month I will be switching to something new a little exciting, a little scary

Some times writing is easy and straightforward. Other times you ask yourself "what do leaves say?"

onto the last few touch ups of A GODDESSES BLESSING before I send it off to the first round of beta readers and I feel like there is a million things to do and nothing at the same time still on track(ish) to get it out Friday morning before my flight though!

i really wish i could be an audiobook person, because it would allow me to read a lot more throughout the year Unfortunately, i just cannot pay attention to an audio book for the life of me

at 90k words, the next draft of A GODDESSES BLESSING is done! Now I just have to line edit and then it's off to betas I'm hoping to fully finish and send it out by the 19th when I go on vacation... wish me luck

I will also say, I would love to swap support and feedback with other authors! So if you have a manuscript nearing completion (or already done) and want some advice while also learning through reading other peoples work, please let me know! #writingcommunity #authors #books #writers

In order to finish the edits of GODDESS in time, I need to write 5k words in the next two days. Which is low enough that it's possible but high enough that I want to give up already
