So humbled to have been chosen as a mentee and can't wait to breath life into my little witchy story.

I will no longer be able to pursue my dream as an author because all my free time is currently being put towards plucking all the peri-menopause hairs on my chin.

One day someone will write a book called something like "Sour Dough Starts and the Downfall of Democracy: Memes as a Form of Resistance" and the primary sources will simply include the random things we all share on social media.

I've been here for a minute, but I'm all in now. So here's a bit about me: Middle School Teacher Historian Writer (mostly historical fantasy!) Currently querying Sort of obsessed with postcards I'd love some new friends! #writing #writingcommunity #amquerying

This week my 6th graders have been researching Mesopotamian inventions. Tomorrow, the project will culminate in a debate in which one invention will reign supreme! Which one would you choose? Wheel Irrigation Sailboat Writing

Social media is a great means of communication in a digital world, however it's clear it lends to polarizing opinions. For example, a big fight right now in the #writngcommunity is trad pubvs. self pub There are pros and cons to both. One is not inherently superior. Stop fighting and just write.

It is during the drafting stage that I find I can neither spell nor grammar. #writing #writingcommunity

Writers who are also teachers (or health professionals). How do you find the energy to write/edit on the weekends? I find that because of the nature of my job I'm in an emotional and creative spiral all week. When I finally write...I go blank. Tips/Tricks? #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity

wondering why, after posting one tiktok, I am not yet a best selling author of a five book series. #amwriting #writingcommunity

If you ever need world building ideas for your stories, might I suggest you talk with a 6th grader? They are some of the most creative humans I know. You might just also have to listen to stories about pokemon. #writing #teaching

I've hit the stage of procrastination where I'm now writing Loki fan-fic. It's lit y'all. #writer #writingcommunity #fanfic

I teach 6th grade ancient history, and I assigned my students a “create a civilization” project based on the GRAPES of civilization. Low key using it to world build for my WIP. #writer #writingcommunity #author

Advice in writing is to write until your MS is *perfection*. Until it's been *pulled apart by betas*. It has to be *fresh* it has to be *new*. but then I read a published novel and it's arguably an author who said eff this and wrote what they wanted. I've entered my eff it era. #writing #querying

In light of recent events I want to take a sec to discuss lateral reading. This is a method used by fact checkers to independently verify sources. Social media is ripe with propaganda. *Leave the Site* and fact check with trustworthy sources before you believe things. Thank you for the ted talk.

While working on my WIP I realized some specific facets will need to change to make the story better. This is normal to figure out in discovery, but daunting considering I'm 40,000 words in. #amwriting #writing #author

I have three competing ideas floating around in my brain, so help me out my #writingcommunity. While querying my Adult Historical Fantasy should I work on: YA historical Fantasy (1920's) Contemporary Rom Com Dystopian Romance #writing #querying

I swear, all the agents I vibe with are from the UK. I guess it's time to move to the UK. #amwriting #writing #writingcommunity

Do you have characters that you return to over and over again? For me, it's a WIP that I've been writing and re-writing for the past 7 years. There's something about these characters and this story that just won't die for me. Working on it *again* and rewriting from the ground up. #writing

As an adult with ADHD, the biggest hurdle I've had to overcome with my writing is learning patience. Things take a LONG time. Drafting, writing, re-writing, querying, waiting. And I'm still in the trenches. For anyone it's soul sucking, but for me it's crushing. #writing #amwriting #author

Managed to get almost a full chapter (badly) written yesterday. Which, considering teaching and kids and other obligations, counts as a good day. #writing #writingcommunity #writer

A big goal I had in 2023 was to network with other writers and maybe even find myself some CP's. It's nearly October, but I just got accepted into a workshop that should help me do both of those things! Also this app is helping on the networking front! #amwriting #writer #amquerying

I never thought I'd be the kind of gal who woke up early to get writing in, but every day for 2 months I've managed to get about 30 minutes worth of writing done in the time before I leave for work. Bit by bit, chunk by chunk. #writing #writingcommunity

So far blue sky feels a TON like early twitter. You find people with similar interests, you interact and network, and it's all pleasant. I suspect it's because there are fewer users, but I sure do like it here. Anyone doing morning sprints? #amwriting #writing

I take a lot of inspiration from Broadway. While I love a good TV show, I would love to be able to write music and songs that would translate to the stage.
