The endless cycle of social media platform insanity is going to end up with me starting an author Tumblr and letting my ID brain go wild. 😜 #writers

I live in a hundred-year-old house, and therefore, every room is a different temperature experience. Too cold? Go into my bedroom and enjoy the sauna. Too hot? Go into my office - in a parka. Not sure how to feel? Stay on the first floor - wear layers, expect anything. #editingtoday

My 2025 plan is to focus on what I can control. (I mean, it's not much but it seems like a good place to start).
I want to make plans, not resolutions.
I want to enjoy my creativity without the noise.
What about you?

2025: my wish list is to improve on 2024. Continuing to grow my business and publishing more books (3 in a year is a record!)
But mostly I want more writers to encourage and build up because frankly? Seeing things click for a client and seeing their face light up fuels my creative fire. #writing

I've had an insanely productive week (KNOCK ALL THE WOOD). But what I'm taking from it is that it's not a moral failure when I don't have insanely productive weeks. I feel like it is, but it's not. IT'S NOT. Please give yourself grace when your mind and body must slow down. #writing #authors

Not going to lie. I love every terrible thumbnail and every messy hair on my head. We have to get out of the habit of a facade of perfection or having it all together. Let’s be ourselves. Authentically.

I'll be running a 1 day 2 hr workshop on Tropes for the next 2 Saturdays. Mastering tropes - the reason readers respond to them, how to tap into that emotional connection, and how to subvert 'em- is essential to good solid writing.
The class will be run via Zoom. #writers
