Sometimes I wonder if we'd all be kinder to ourselves if we measured progress in completed scenes rather than raw word counts. Sounds like solid progress to me.

Celebrating the icon Mary Shelley on her birthday (1797)! Frankenstein's brilliant creator didn't just write a classic, she invented the sci-fi and post-apocalyptic fiction genres as we know them today.🎈🧌 #booksky #classicliterature

We lost one of the greatest beams of kindness that has walked this earth. Dolly's Imagination Library mailed out millions of books to children over its 31 years. She was as close to being a perfect example of how to be a human being to your neighbor as one could get. Full of joy; no judgement. 🦋

Are typewriters making a comeback, or do we all just need an excuse to go analog? Drafting historical fiction with a line-by-line edit style feels natural to me, but I have to admit - I do miss that satisfying clack-clack-ding! #writing

One of the joys of writing historical fiction is the unexpected research gem. While drafting a scene set at a specific intersection, I stumbled upon a photograph of that exact location taken in the precise year of my story! 🎉 #historicalnovel #author #Philadelphia

I'm officially doing 500% more research than actual writing at this point. Will I use even half of this in my novel? Absolutely not. Do I feel ethically negligent if I don't dot every historical 'i' anyway? Absolutely yes. 🙃 #booksky #author

Have you tried a simple Google Form on your author site to screen ARC readers? I hear BookTok is fertile ground but definitely watermark with something like "𝑇ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑝𝑦 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑓𝑜𝑟 [𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟 𝑁𝑎𝑚𝑒]"

Steven Spielberg once noted that through careful manipulation and good storytelling, you can get an entire audience to clap at the same time. As a historical novelist, that’s my goal: to masterfully guide the reader's journey so that every twist, heartbeat, and payoff hits with universal impact.
