CozyLit book about #knitting & friends coming soon.

When writing about the Colorado mountain towns can my “vacation” be a write off? There’s a mountain outside 😂😂😂

What happens when I finally finish the book, I’m ready to send it to print, and I get scared? 😭📚🫣 #newauthor #selfpub #chicklit #cozylit #knitting #astrology #taylorswift #friendshipsafter30 #millennial #eldermillennial #indiewriter

Autocrit, prowritingaid, google docs, scrivener, too many places to mess up and lose chunks of work. Uggggh this is why there are 453 versions downloaded and dated🫣

Ironic that i wrote a book named Fearless yet terrified of publishing it. 🫣😭🧶📚🙃🤷‍♀️ #indieauthor #newauthor #fearless? I wrote a book about making friends yet i have #agoraphobia and #severeanxiety 🧐

Looking for beta readers!
Fearless is a cozy novel set in a mtn town, think Gilmore Girls w/knitting, found family, & a snarky cat. Friendship, motherhood, anxiety, creativity.
Emotional but light.
Break-from-the-news read.

Line editing and I don’t want to see another comma for a week 😭🫣 #indieauthor #selfpub #chicklit #cozylit

Writing a novel about a yarn shop, friendships, astrology, a snarky cat, & a knit-a-long that might change everything. There’s tea. There’s Taylor. There’s my book.

Looking for a line editor. I can do it but I should get another set of eyes on it. How do you find one that doesn’t have a 3 month waitlist 😭 #indieauthor #myadverbsareoutofcontrol #lineedits

My biggest issue with the book? Not the imposter syndrome. Not the trolls. Not the “how do i market it on my own” … but the adverbs. I have twice as many as I should. They should warn you about line editing, or maybe they did. APPARENTLY i didn’t read it. 🙃

Finished my last draft before the editors take over! I’m so nervous 😭🫶💛 #indieauthor?

Creating a custom Spotify playlist for the book w/ QR code to listen that fits the vibe of the book as a fun bonus, along with yarn astrology charts and other surprises tucked in. There’s even a movie review list from the shop cat (spoiler alert, he only watches CATS for #taylorswift 🫣🤷‍♀️💛) 📚#cozylit

I think my cybersecurity team (BFF) found my first stalker/harasser/mean person so I reported and blocked. If i get an email from them in a couple hours we’ll know I blocked the wrong Robin 😂🤷‍♀️ I apologize in advance for any Robin’s I block by accident. But trust, this book is now dedicated to her 😂
April 28, 2025 at 11:56 PM
I guess I should “market” my book even though I’m not finished and have no idea when I will or *if* I will but (just for you Robin) some marketing. #cozylit 📚💛 #marketing. #snark

Robin. Block me before i get my friend in cybersecurity to do it for you. Thanks.

Got my first email today from a “fan” & they said my idea is crap. Thank goodness. I can stop writing now. They have spoken. I’m exhausted. Imagine taking time out of your day to research a brand new account, go to their website, find their email, just to tell them they suck? Okay Robin. #chicklit 📚

Officially halfway done. Would any #cozylit readers like a book about knitting and friendship and there’s no murder or love stories, it’s the Seinfeld of books with a Gilmore Girls in the mountains setting. The only conflicts are internal or about gauge swatching. #knitting meets #chicklit 🧶📚
