The hall lights flickered and dimmed, sending shadows racing down the corridor, obscuring the end. The sound of stumbling footsteps echoed from the depths, drawing closer. "If you're trying to scare me, it won't work." The footsteps paused. "I'm a medium." "Not again." #wip #amwriting #romance

WRITER BIG SISTER ADVICE: As a writer your book is going be loved by a lot of people, disliked by a lot of people, and yes, even ignored. It's NOT your job to please everyone. It's your job to write a book you're proud of. That's it. #WritingCommunity #writingtips #writerslife #wip

Graceland Burbon Lewis knew two things for sure. 1. She was very good at spellwork. 2. Her parents sucked at picking names. She THOUGHT she'd been sure about her portal casting abilities too, but the pissed off demon she hadn't meant to summon had her scratching that one from her list. #amwriting

QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF FOR THE NEW YEAR Is the narrative you tell yourself fitting the person you're becoming or want to be? Are you letting others define your worth? Have you outgrown your goals? Are you surrounding yourself with people who lift you up? #WritingCommunity #writers

As a random girl I overheard say: "Any day is a good day to value yourself." So if you're being hard on yourself or your writing, or your life, remember: You are valuable. What you bring to the world and to others is invaluable. You're valuable b/c you're YOU. #writingcommunity #writerslife

"Oh my god, it's blood!" Wren jumped back from the red puddle oozing on the floor. "Please, it's clearly jam. Or like, melted jello." Zoe sniffed the air, then froze. Wren took another step back. "What?" "Sooo..." "It IS blood isn't it?" "Yeah." "I knew it!" "Fake blood." #amwriting #wip
