Push self-doubt aside and focus on bringing my characters to life. Drown perfectionism and enjoy the process. #SpoonieAuthChat

Timeline cleanse!
This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

In a flare right now & I can’t write/draw/paint like I want. So, it’s nap time for me and riding this coaster, hoping it slows down & evens out soon enough. Time to rest/rejuvenate & grateful for my family’s support. #SpoonieAuthChat

Yep
I don't need a job, I need a gothic manor in which I sit about reading and wandering in ankle length nightgowns

Every author has a process. A character for me morphs into reality the more layers I add. Kaitlynn combines multiple personalities I’ve befriended over the years & a dash of me. She’s flawed, confused, a people pleaser, bright & fierce. Oh & she’s great at solving puzzles like murder. #booksky ⚡️📚

Got the COVID & Flu shots yesterday and can’t sleep. Ears are plugged up, aching even with meds & I’m exhausted. At least figure skating is on.

In summary: art is hard. Don’t beat yourself up over it not solely paying your bills in the worst version of America we’ve ever seen. Do for self, and love your work.

I find that the day after Halloween is perfect for binging books, raiding the kids candy (I don't take what they love), and TV. Anyone else with a candy hangover? Or am I the only one? Give me your fav books, please and Thank You. #booksky 💙📚 ⚡📚

Tomorrow is #Halloween which is a great time to read a spooky story. One of our favourite spooky stories is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irvine. First published in 1820 it tells the story of a terrifying headless horseman, but that's not why we like it. 🎃
