Good morning. What are you writing today, or what are you reading if you’re taking a break? I’m curious what everyone’s sitting with this morning—drafts, edits, a book you can’t put down, or just the intention to show up. Tell me. I want to hear it. #writingcommunity #books #writer #reader #writing

Debut is going on submission soon. I’ve been juggling IG growth, Substack, and trying to actually engage like a real human online. It’s… a lot.

It’s been a while. I’ve been quiet—deep in revisions with my agent, fully in it. But the finish line is finally in sight. I’ll be going on sub this spring (!!), which still doesn’t feel real. And I can already feel the next story pulling at me. How is everyone doing over here? #writingcommunity

We can be tired, aching, angry, and still believe things can change. Both can coexist. If today all we do is notice the good that remains, let it be enough. Hope still smolders, even when we’re worn down.

Revised by far the darkest, creepiest chapter yet. Took all morning, but I loved it. I enjoy writing my MC's childhood POV chapters. they get under my skin in the best (worst?) way.

3 months of revisions with my agent, and on a 4 mile walk today, I’ve landed on… an insane idea to restructure my entire novel. 😬 Writing is equal parts chaos, stubbornness, and obsession—and somehow, also joy. #amrevising #amwriting #debut #writerslife #author #writingcommunity #writesky

Writers: when you get your agent’s notes, do you do one big revision pass first or revisit sections as new notes come in? My agent reads & responds in chunks, and I’m curious how others handle it. We plan to do 2 full passes total—maybe 3. #writingcommunity #writesky #amrevising #amediting

The world is already dark—so why do we crave psychological thrillers? They let us face fear & obsession safely, give shape to shadows we can’t name. We can close the book, breathe again. That’s why I read them. That’s why I write them. 🖤 #amrevising #writingcommunity #amwriting #writesky
