NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Great advice to live by. ✨️
substack post by daily mindfulness: "Best mental reset I've learned: If your mind is loud - write. If your mind is empty - read. If your mind is racing - walk. if your mind is tired - sleep. If your mind is sharp - build. Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows."

My goals this month are to finish editing one WIP and finish drafting another. Lofty goals, I know, but I'm going to try! ✍️

Whoever decided that November should be the novel writing month was totally out of their mind.

Daylight savings over a super busy weekend and now my schedule's all messed up. I thought getting to sleep in would help me feel more organized but I'm a mess on this wompy-jawed Monday.

My MC is not the best mother. But she's thousands of years old and hasn't seen a child in centuries. How was she to know what motherhood would entail?

You ever just keep chugging through a book you don't enjoy? I'm really struggling with the book I'm reading right now, but I just can't see myself giving up on it completely 😮‍💨

Some of my papayas are starting to turn yellow! Finally!

My writer friends are some of the kindest, most uplifting people I've ever interacted with. I suspect writing makes you more empathetic ✨️

Just started beta reading for another writer friend. It's amazing how much you can learn about writing by beta reading for others.

Went for an hour long walk yesterday and then sat down and brainstormed how to streamline the middle of my book. It will require deleting a couple of minor subplot, but I think it will be so much better!

You ever get frustrated when your chapter count refuses to come out to a nice round number? ✍️

I have returned to the mushy middle of my book and am realizing I should really condense 12 chapters into about 6. But how? That is the question.

Grrr, I really wanted to finish editing this draft this month, but I still have a ton of work ahead of me. I guess I'll keep plodding along through November. ✍️

Found this pretty turnstole (aka scorpion tail) growing in my backyard like a weed. 🦂 ✨️

I still remember when writing my first 15k words was a big milestone. Today, I've officially cut over 15,000 words from my current draft! This feels like a milestone that deserves a happy dance 👏

It's always a struggle to get the figs before the wildlife, but today I got 5!

Currently editing for my 2nd round of betas! Do y'all go through multiple rounds of beta reads? How many beta readers do you typically get for each book?

Fall is such a fun season for gardeners. My persimmons are coming ready for their first harvest!
