She loves to sit here (right in my way) and watch me work. It’s sweet.

5 minutes into a writing sprint…IYKYK. Yesterday I sent the timer for a 30 minute writing sprint and spent the first 20 minutes fixing the ball hitch on my office door.

School was canceled today because the weather is -36 degrees 🥶 So if/when my copy of Onyx Storm arrives today, I will be channeling my inner #ronswanson. #onyxstorm #dragons #writingcommunity #booklover #amreading #releaseday

New Year, new draft! (Also, why does every new story draft feel like this is my first time writing??)

The gift that keeps on giving. If you haven’t watched this show, I can’t recommend it enough. I was on a weekend writing retreat with a friend when she suggested (forced) we watch the show…while she watched me enjoy it for the first time…and it’s a decision I’ll never regret (or forget).

It was a balmy 4 degrees at the MN Merry Market today! Outdoor ice games, train rides, horse drawn wagon rides, food trucks, festive music, tons of craft vendors and SANTA! It was great to get out for some fun and last minute gifts 🎄🎅🎁

Thank goodness for writing friends! Having writer besties can make even the hardest writing problems manageable - plus they don’t get bored of talking about your book! Tag your writing bestie to let them know you 💙 them. Photos courtesy of @writtenbysky.bsky.social my writing bestie ❤️❤️

My daughter & her friend “googled” me during class today and found my writer Instagram with all the reels I’ve been making lately. She told her friend “this is my mom’s new era” and I’m not sure who is more traumatized. Me. It’s me. #writer #writing #writingcommunity #amwriting #writerlife

Trying to muster up the courage to touch my laptop after weeks of ignoring it. How did I do?? I feel like this was a good first try. I’ll try again…next week 😬 Have you ever taken a break from something and then been scared to start again? #writer #writing #writerlife #writingcommunity #amwriting

He loves the library (we’ve been going twice a week) and helping me check out books. Today he asked if he could live at the library. The librarian said ABSOLUTELY 📚❤️

I have two Instagram accounts, one personal & one for writing. Sometimes when I see a reel/post I like on my writing account, I send it to my personal account. I did this last night & immediately forgot. This morning I was so excited that someone sent me something...only to realize...it was...me...🫠

I was inspired by @jennaleeyun.bsky.social to post my November TBR list. This is hard for me to do because I usually just pick whatever speaks to me & see what library holds come through. I’m also listening to The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty & All The Devils Are Here by Louise Penny.
