Conceptual interpretation of the core event in my #WIP. The story gets deeper, the stakes are getting higher, the consequences are not to be outdone. I’m really having fun with this one. #AmWriting
Happy to be whatever she needs me to be—including being a pillow.

This is not Churchill. This isn’t the northern Hemisphere of Pluto. This isn’t Basecamp on Everest.

Truth.
Whatever stage you’re at in your writing journey, be proud of your accomplishments! You’ve got this!🫶✨

Is this in any way, shape, or form a comfortable position to achieve restful sleep? I guess that depends on who’s undertaking the effort. Who am I to judge? #caturdayvibes #saturday

Tumultuous weather outside can make for tumultuous drama on the pages if you let it. I’ve always been a fan of writing while it rains, or snow falls, or the thunder is rolling. Writing where and when you’re able is always the best—but Mother Nature’s guide to the best stories is always optimal.

Thanks to @jessicastrawser.bsky.social for these suggestions and guidance. Always helpful every time.
At @careerauthors.com we hear from SO many writers who make the same resolutions every year, only to end up frustrated. Why? They're focusing on hopes beyond their control instead of achievable goals. Here are 5 worth making instead. #writersky #writingcommunity careerauthors.com/5-resolution...

Alone on a sea of others. Aimless wandering. Unique, unknown direction. We’re all the same, and different. Multi-colored feathers. Musical, many-octave voices, all singing. Eventually, we’re going to cross paths. It’s unavoidable. Will we squabble? Make space for others? Respect?

It’s all up to us.

New weekend formalwear.

Some people wear their heart on their sleeves. I wear mine on my chest.

I love reading advice or best practices from writing industry pros, going back to review what I write, and seeing that my work is reflective of those tips—before I knew that they’re tips. Even if I don’t know what will happen with my work, at least I know I’m on the right track. So there’s that.

David Byrne is one of my favorites. He lays it down like no one else can, and always gets support from quality musicians and vocalists. Nothin’ (But Flowers)is one of the most clever songs ever written, and it’s great to see it get this refreshment of interpretation.

Was digging this tonight and thought how cool it may be if Billy himself did a We Didn’t Start The Fire sequel.There’s certainly enough events that could be included that occurred between 1989 and now. I’m not sure there would be an audience today for it, though. What do you think? #billyjoel

#nanowrimo2025 ends today. Special shout out to anyone who participated and completed, congratulations. Take a moment to appreciate the scope of what you set out to do this month and saw it through to the end. For those of us who fell short, do not despair. I feel your pain; just keep going.

What if the lie you had always believed isn’t the lie you were told it was—What if it was worse?

A Thanksgiving tradition! Post-dinner and dessert, kick your feet up, close your eyes, and give this one a listen. It’s good for the soul.

I’ve decided that when my latest book finally gets to you when it’s finished—either traditionally or independently — I will donate most of the proceeds to ALS research. It seems like the only thing to do, considering the year my family has had. The fight to find a cure simply must continue. #ALS
