I had the best of intentions but yesterday turned into one of those days where I struggled with feelings about my pub journey. My partner reminded me of this cartoon. I’m sharing in case anyone else needs a gentle, “Don’t give up.”

It's nice to know there are alternatives in life that includes #cats and #books.

What would you choose?

My #book list for last month was very eclectic and fun. Highly recommend each of these!

Me looking at the unfinished draft for the YA #book I started drafting in 2025 and haven't read since last summer. 😱

At a book release party last night, someone asked the author what was their motivation for writing #books.

It's something I've thought about but never put into words. HBU?

I guess I took a week-long break from SM. It wasn't intentional and then it became intentional. But I'm glad I gave myself some space from everything.

Sometimes, a little space can do us good!

Brainstorming titles and they all have words like foggy, tired, and sleepy. Maybe I just need a nap.

It’s snowy and gray in #Colorado. A perfect day to listen to #Mitski and #write in one of my favorite indie bookstores.

Yesterday, my character chose to subvert expectation during a dialogue scene then surprised me even more by revealing a truth I didn’t know.

I found a new coffee shop and #writing spot near my house. Taking time today to write my MG, which is growing stranger by the day. But thank you, Poe. I’d like to think there’s beauty in its strangeness.

Another assortment of #books but this time, it's my #NewYear2026 reads. Well, some of them. There are others lurking around my house somewhere. 😅

I’ve sort of accepted that I won’t finish this #book in 2025.

I know why — I invested time drafting a different book and reopened my business. So, there’s that.

But I still struggle with where I’m at and where I want to be.

All. The. Time.

My #holiday read is THE MATZAH BALL by Jean Meltzer, about a Jewish author who must face her summer camp archenemy while looking for inspiration on the last night of #Hanukkah at the Matzah Ball. Oy! to the World 🕎

#Writing a scene today that feels very sci-fi and #horror, and I wonder what the people around me in the library would think if they knew what I was drafting. 😅

There are so many things we can’t control on our publishing journey, but we can invest in our craft. And I just signed up for my first #writing workshop for 2026.
