1 of my favorite parts of being an author.🥹📚 Tuesday I spent the night in Boston with the @girlfriendsboston talking about The Immigrant’s Wife. There’s something surreal & wonderful about hearing readers discuss characters who once existed only inside your head.❤️ #TheImmigrantsWife #BookClub

Writers: an exciting opportunity is not a reason to stop asking questions.🚩📚 Before you send money, sign anything, or hand over your manuscript, investigate the person & company behind the offer. What publishing scam or sketchy offer should other writers know about? #WritingCommunity #Publishing

Our FFA Bookish Retreat isn’t built around an existing book club. It was created for readers from the beginning. ❤️📚 Come alone. Bring a friend. Finally meet an online book friend IRL. We’re creating the group when we get there. Nov. 20–22 • West Chester, PA #FFABookishRetreat #BookSky

Writers, I have a proposal: We ALL put one tiny Dolly Parton allusion in our next book. No explanation. No coordination. Just Dolly quietly appearing across completely unrelated novels everywhere. 😂📚❤️ Who’s in? #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #DollyParton

Writer’s Tip Wednesday ✍️ Want to check your sentence rhythm? Count the words in each sentence of one paragraph. 17, 16, 18, 12, 20, 16 🚩 3, 22, 15, 36, 7, 10, 28 👀 It’s not about “perfect” numbers—it’s about variation. Try yours. What numbers did you get? #WritingTips #AmWriting

✍️ Writer’s Tip Wednesday: Want more tension in your dialogue? Stop letting characters answer every question directly. “Where were you last night?” “Why do you care?” Dodging, deflecting & lying create subtext. Sometimes the non-answer says the most. #WritingTips #amwriting #authors #dialogue

2,827 words today. 56,315 total. And then I closed the laptop—even though the story isn’t finished. Another manuscript needs my attention, and I promised myself this was the deadline. Sometimes writing discipline means making yourself stop. Would you? 😬 #AmWriting #Novel90
