I 💙 reading and writing but not arithmetic
WIP: Dark Urban Fantasy
CR: Mother of Death & Dawn
Pinned
Hi, #AuthorsOfBluesky! I'm Erika and I love reading and writing but not arithmetic.

I'm working on my first novel, an Urban Fantasy about a girl caught in the world of modern-day Angels and Demons. 🖤

My writing community is small, but I'd LOVE to connect with other authors in this genre!
Ya...still can't do it.

My WIP will stay titled "WIP" until I'm further along in my writing.
When did you announce your book title?

I've seen so many scary posts here about authors having their titles taken between the time they announce and finally go to print 😨

It's almost that time of year, where I stop reading completely so I can focus on writing.

National Novel Writing Month...✨HERE I COME.✨

‼️Scariest things I've seen all Halloween‼️

The algorithm is feeding me horror posts of authors announcing their book titles only to have them used by other authors who publish a bit faster 😨

My daughter's school district had an email glitch and sent EVERY STUDENT a library overdue notice 😳

I can only imagine the number of emails those poor librarians had in their inboxes today!

I've reached a point in my novel where I need to decide...

...do I need to write an edited version so my mom can read it? 😂

I need a #cookbook where setting the oven is listed as step number four or five.

I'm already stressing about the cookies turning out, then the oven goes and beeps at me and I'm only on step number three and wasting heat 😂

I'm falling more in love with cozy fantasy books.

Have any book recs for me to read (or let's be honest add to my TBR)?

Road trips are great right until you get carsick trying to finish one more chapter 🤢

There's no bigger disappointment than picking up your library hold only to realize you reserved the book on CD 😭

I see a lot of posts asking how to be a best-selling author, but what if you want to build an empire with a die-hard fandom and franchise based off your fantasy books?

Where would one go for that advice? 😉

My husband was SO excited when I told him I preordered a new game for the Switch...

...and then he saw the game 😂

I get about an hour after the kids go to bed to write...but by that point my brain is mush 🧠

How do you other full-time-work-from-home moms write?!?

Does your mood affect your writing?
❕OR❕
Does your writing affect your mood?

There's no doubt the two are connected, but every author is different.
