A little Monday encouragement. ✨ You don’t have to start the week at full speed to make it a good one. Whether today is a holiday, a workday, or a pajama day, your pace is your own. ❤️ How’s your Monday going? #MotivationalMonday #MondayMotivation #ProgressNotPerfection

Sparkle Friday looks a little different today. ❤️ Mom’s in the hospital, so I’m heading in to be with her. Not the Friday I planned, but apparently I still managed to wear sparkly pants. ✨ Sending love to anyone having a difficult day. #SparkleFriday #FamilyFirst

Reader question! 📚🤔 You discover a book on TikTok, but there’s no buy button. A. Leave and buy it elsewhere B. Save it for later C. Move on I’m researching whether TikTok Shop is worth it for authors. What would YOU do? #BookSky #BookLovers #IndieAuthors

Readers, genuine question! 👀📚 If you discovered a book on TikTok, would you buy it there or head to your usual bookseller? I’m considering TikTok Shop for my novel, but would it actually change anything? What would YOU do? #BookSky #BookLovers #IndieAuthors

PUT DOWN THE KEYBOARD. 👀✍️ If a scene needs to slow down, try writing it by hand. Handwriting slows you physically, giving your brain more time to notice the details and reactions that help a scene breathe. Would you try it? #WritersTipWednesday #WritingTips #CreativeWriting #WritingCommunity

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

My new shirt says, “I’ve been reading since the 1900s.” Technically accurate. Also an unnecessarily aggressive way to remind me of my age. 😂📚 So now I need to know: what decade did YOU start reading? #BookSky #BookLovers
