Writing for me is like breathing. I don't think I can live without it.

Great time at @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social this weekend, but goodness am I tired! Thanks to my booth mates Brittany Tucker and Robin Jeffrey. I am so lucky to be surrounded by amazing women and fantastic authors.

Middle-grade a hard sell? Lets not forget what books made us a reader in the first place.
Here are the #mglit books that made me:
Alice in Wonderland
Series of Unfortunate Events
The Chronicles of Narnia
The Hobbit
The Secret Garden

Yesterday, I gave my niece a brown paper bag for her lunch and she said, "Wow! It's like I live in the 1900s." 🙃🫠

The ugly side of book releases.
1. Wonky sleep schedule. I'm just now getting a routine back
2. Forgetting to eat!
3. All weekends taken up by book events.
4. Marketing. (Enough said)

I am ✍️editing my stand alone for writing month instead of writing.
A page a day. 📚
Today, I finished editing the 20th page of the book. Just 10 more to go.🎉
I would love to either celebrate or grieve anyone else's progress. 😆 If you want to vent or brag I am here for you.

For writing month this year I decided to edit my stand alone. I gave myself the goal of 30 pages. I think I can exceed it. Does anyone else have a writing goal?
