Good morning from rural Kansas! I've been up for an hour already, working on my series synopsis for MARROW. You know...just in case!

I have spent an embarrassing amount of time hoping somebody would take this book seriously. Today, somebody did. One of the biggest literary agencies in NYC requested a full manuscript from me today. I'm going to try very hard not to make a medical emergency out of it. #booksky #writingcommunity

I see authors querying 12 agents a day. I've queried 8 in the last few months. I research & customize a query for each agent. I want to build a real relationship with mine when I get accepted & I don't want to jump into a business partnership blind from the get-go, you know? Am I overthinking this?

So since I put this video up, I've learned that this isn't showing author copies. So where do I see my author copies for that year? #writersky #writingcommunity

To say I feel blessed is an understatement. And yes, my husband and I both have our "offices" in the living room. We both work from home. And we both write. #writerslife #writingcommunity #booktok

Writer’s block and burnout aren’t some mystical curse that gets lifted when the muse decides to show back up. Most of the time, it’s your brain and body telling you something’s out of balance, and it’s on you to figure out what that something is and actually deal with it. #writingcommunity

You cannot convince me this is normal. I have been publishing for over a decade, and never once have I had to PAY a beta reader. Beta readers are largely known to be volunteers. Now people are charging to read a book before publishing?? These were from ONE comment about my beta reader.

I am so, SO happy with my beta reader. I cannot wait to send her a physical copy of this book. She has been AMAZING! I can't stop rereading our messages! 🥹 #writingcommunity #writerslife

You think I just talk about writing a lot because this is my author page. But you're wrong. I talk about writing a lot because I can't escape the world I've created. It's worse in person. #writingcommunity #writerslife #amwriting

Would "Unreliable omniscient" be where the narrator knows literally everything that happens, but refuses to tell the reader because 'it’s not their business?'" Cuz...I can roll with something like that. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerslife

Back home after our annual DnD weekend, which is a writing weekend for me. I didn't get what I *planned* done, but I did get something *necessary* done. Progress is progress, so I'm happy enough. Now for some unpacking and reorganizing! #writingcommunity #writerslife

The group is playing DnD. I'm in the back, writing, with my earbuds in. I have no idea what happened, but all 8 of them busted out laughing like Arnold Schwarzenegger. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

Plotter or panster? I *am* a panster, but I have learned to at least have 60% of the idea before I start writing. Not the plot...that would just be silly. The IDEA. #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writingcommunity #authorsofinstagram

Having a beta reader who sends voice clips of her cussing out the characters as she tries to figure out who's up to what is pretty much the best thing ever. 🤣🥰 #writingcommunity #writerslife

PHEW. I am hyper-editing this manuscript so I can sort of regather my senses in preparation for writing the next book in the series...and boy is this bad. 🤣 I know I knew what I was talking about when I wrote it, but that sense is looong gone. #writincommunity
