I never thought I’d be “good enough.” But 18 months ago, I tried.

I submitted.

Now I have 7 publications in literary magazines.

I wish I let myself chase this author dream years ago.

If you’re reading this, do it. Be brave.

If you need someone to cheer you on, let me.

Anyone love second chance romance?

I’m reading the ARC for Love Letters for Other People by ShaylinGhandi and it’s unputdownable!

He never stopped loving her, even though she’s dating someone else… and he’s writing love letters to her, for the man she’s dating!

Anyone else physically unable to write without coffee?

I just can’t do it.

Is it the warm beverage? The caffeine? Is it the two second brain break of taking a sip?

It’s probably everything. 😂

The best weather for writing?

🌧️ Rain smattering the windows.

Why? It’s the perfect acoustic background music.

🚫 But no thunder.

Why? Because I am a jumpy human and it scares the s*** out of me. 🤣

The most effective way to edit?

Reading out loud, pointing to each word.
On paper.
Not on a screen.
It’s slow, and somewhat torturous, but worth it.

Can we talk about PROMISE ME SUNSHINE by Cara Bastone for a minute? I was blown away by this book. The depth, the humor… how real all of the characters in the book feel… the exploration of grief and heartache and the budding then blooming romance in this book. PERFECT.

I won’t end up like a MC in a thriller novel, stuck on the side of the road tomorrow driving to work.

All because my husband fixed the grinding car noise I was sure would strand me tonight.

I drove home sweating because of it.

There’s a reason I don’t read thrillers, guys. 😰 🤣

For me, living dangerously involves walking the dog while reading a book on my phone.

Did I mention I’m a natural klutz? 🤣

📚💙 Just finished reading…

Sally Hepworth’s book, THE THINGS WE KEEP.

It’s a beautiful exploration of what stays with us as memories decline and the power of friendship and love.

If you know anyone personally or professionally with dementia, this is a good one for your TBR!

I almost cried. My son and husband are able to hold my words.

I’ve had five publications (little ones you guys, in lit mags). I’m just a baby author starting out! 🤪

But this was the FIRST to be published in a litmag on paper.

It was MAGICAL because I couldn’t have done it without them. #writers

3 Reasons to Read BOYS WITH SHARP TEETH by @byjennihowell.bsky.social:

1) The Plot: A fever dream in the best way.
2) The Ending: Your jaw will hang from your face.
3) The Author: Honest, full of grit, & so kind to other writers!

You'll thank me (or hate me) when you're still reading at 3am. 🤣

I finally got paid to publish… and earned $1!

And ya know what?! I’m overjoyed! Bouncing in my seat! Elated, people!

Yes, it’s silly. But I can’t stop myself from being happy!

Because that 1c/word for a 100-word microfiction piece is something I’d never dreamed of a year ago! #writingcommunity

I get my best writing done in the dark.

When my son’s asleep.

Writers who are also parents - do you agree? Disagree?

Drafts and drafts and drafts and drafts and drafts and drafts and… this short story is done!

Time to submit.
Time to wait.
Time to hope.

(And time to work on my novel 🤣)

2. The Mystery: I raced through this book. HOLY MOLY, the twists and turns! Frances White had me guessing right up until the end!

3. The Humor: Frances White employs witty humor from page one that offset the darker tones of this novel beautifully.

3 Reasons to Read: VOYAGE OF THE DAMMED by Frances White:

1. The Hero: Ganymedes isn’t your typical 6'3" hero with a six-pack, and he’s so much more likeable for it! I loved rooting for this underdog and reluctant hero.

This may be controversial, but for anyone who needs to hear this, I think it’s okay if Mother’s Day is both happy and sad. The children we have, the ones we lost, our parenthood journey and the parents we’ve had and lost. It’s gratitude and reflection and memory and mourning all in one.

know I’m late to the game, but I finally started Onyx Storm! And these were my exact feelings when I saw the length of the audiobook. What about you? Do you love long books?
