The worst question in the world is 'what are you working on?' followed by 'what's your book about?' Me: it are words I need to work up a pitch that's better than A Massive Indulgent Mannerpunk Fantasy of Queer Love and Killing Despots or at least, remember that one.

Putting your creative work out there is brave. Part of your personality, imagination, and soul are laid bare for others to see… and possibly criticize. But, your people will receive that part of you and cherish it because it is a glimpse into the world you are creating.

Carving out an hour at a coffee shop to write and leaving the power cord at home because the laptop was charging all night… but it must not have been fully pushed in because after 5 minutes it dies= 😩

I’m contemplating the idea that “I am critical of things about myself that I am critical of when I see them in others” and my brain is exploding 🤯

I will forever and always have to google “affect vs effect” before using one on my WIP.

This is your reminder to claim your title on ACX. If you’ve self-published, used an Indie press or trad published, go claim your title… even if you don’t plan on turning your book into an audiobook. (Yet or ever) If you don’t, someone else might. #acx #author #indieauthor #selfpublishing

In order to finish my current WIP by end of June so I can pitch it at a conference I only need to write 240 words per day. (Shooting for 60,000) That’s totally manageable but don’t tell my ADHD. 😝 #adhd #author

It’s really difficult for me when plans change. Even the made up ones I’ve talked myself into in my head. #adhd #audhd

I am in town for a funeral and my mother is in the hospital. I walked to the coffee shop while they were running tests and saw this person in a courtyard just standing there, staring off toward the tree. In a profound way I understood.

As someone with ADHD, it’s nice that I now have a hard deadline to finish my WIP but that also means the tendency to procrastinate is STRONG.

Not my brain thinking up yet another book idea 😩 I refuse to start on it before I finish at least ONE of my 6 current WIP’s.

The weather is warmer so I want to be outside, but all the things I need to be doing are inside. Obviously that means I’ll sit on my porch swing and contemplate life instead.

Gettting critiques back for my WIP and I cried reading the good feedback and was fine reading the “negative.” (Let’s face it, it’s not negative but you know what I mean)

My favorite part about narrating is being fun characters to life. These siblings are so sassy. I love it!

Life is a collaboration not a competition. Someone else succeeding doesn’t mean you can’t too. There is no first place on this journey.

Going back to “fix” the rough draft after cleaning up the ending means I also have to figure out where I info dumped and correct that, too. This is fun, right?

Going to a writers group and only getting 251 words on the page in 2 hours isn’t great… but sometimes we just need to be around other people hustling in the same way. #fellowship #writer #writing

Working through a rough patch in my WIP just so I can get to the scene I’ve been waiting for the whole time is like looking in the freezer before bed and finding no ice cream. Then your husband comes home with some. #writer #writing #wip

For the first time in a while, I have the weekend with no hubby or five year-old. Today I am doing laundry preemptively so I will be able to procrastinate doing real work by putting clothes away.

Writing is something that helps me process. I’ll draft an email/letter to someone, expressing every feeling. But in order to do that I have to find the right words. Label each feeling accurately and dissect what I want the future to look like because of them. 1/2

Avoid dumping backfill into your story
Sometimes to keep a story moving forward, background information must be given. When this information interrupts the story flow, it is referred to as backfill. Depending on the approach u…

Taking the images in my head and trying to put them on “paper” is both difficult and rewarding at the same time. How is your WIP going? #writing #writer #wip #progress #vividimagination

I’ve hit a point in my current WIP that I thought would work but isn’t going to… I’ve found the idea of a fix but now I don’t feel like I’m smart enough to write it. #impostersyndrome #writer #indiewriter #imagination #storyidea

How do I find indie authors with small accounts on here? Is there a search filter or something?

As someone who has thought of quitting (publishing, writing), or wailed that my career is over, I don't have all the answers. What I do know is this. You know your situation best. Maybe your brain needs a break. But it's not a binary. You can stop. And start again when / if you're ready.

Getting a story idea while in a museum in Florence, fixated on a painting from 1613 is probably the most bad ass I’ve been in my entire life. Now I’ve just got to take the story from my head and put it on paper. (And ignore the other 6 stories bouncing around in there) Easy peasey, right? 😜
