I've always struggled with creating names, places, and businesses in my stories but in the last year or so, I just went with with what popped in my head and I found the story flows better rather than trying to force naming everything. -Scarlet

I've had a lot of deadlines in the past six months and never met a single one. I've been thinking of ways to better prioritize my time, and honestly, I'm floundering. How do people do it?? -Scarlet

First, it was to write the great American novel. Then, it was to get an MFA. Now, it's just for the joy of someone reading, and liking, my work. (Yes, royalties would be nice, and I get them, but really. People reading my work.) -Scarlet #WriterSky #BookSky #Romancelandia

I always keep a notebook and a cheap fountain pen near me for notes & ideas. I used to use Scrivener for the actual writing but found it too clunky & had way too many features. I'm really digging the tab functionality in Google Docs. Plus, it makes sharing it with my editor so much easier! -Scarlet

The european citizens' initiative to ban conversion therapies in the EU only has 250k signatures and needs to amass 1 million in the next 7 days... If you live in the EU, please sign it (you can't otherwise); if you don't, please share it around.

Si l'initiative citoyenne européenne visant à interdire les thérapies de conversion dans toute l'UE ne récolte pas 1 million de signatures d'ici 10 jours, elle échouera malheureusement...

So...my book Jingled, Jangled, and Jinxed: A Love Story won The Carolyn Readers' Choice Award!

This #paranormalromance #holiday story was the book I never planned to write--for it to win in a contest that readers judge means so much. Thank you to NTWR!

“After library officials resisted, the DOJ officials departed without resolving the conflict.”

One of those sentences that tells you who and where we are as a country in 2025: librarians are braver than law firms and CEOs.
