I felt something surge through me as I watched her, a fierce protectiveness, a bond deeper than loyalty. She turned and caught my eye, giving me a quick nod. It was meant to reassure me: Everything is fine.

Except it wasn’t, and we both knew it.

“Are you afraid of me?”

Neither of us were smiling now. I shifted closer to her, our shadows melting together on the moonlit tile. “No. In awe of you, yes. But not afraid of you.” I lowered my voice until it was barely a whisper. “But that’s rather foolish of me, isn’t it?”

#FridayKiss

Passed 20k for #NaNoWriMo! Behind but also super proud of myself for making progress with a day job, toddler, and the never-ending cycle of fall illnesses 🤧 Hope everyone else is crushing their goals, whatever they may be!

It was a simple lie, meaningless compared to everything else, but it bothered me just as deeply. It was the way he’d said it, so easily, so casually. Deception was second-nature to him, and I’d believed every word.

That one spark was all it took to set off a fire in me.

Spent the weekend agonizing over the intro to the scene I’m working on and ended up scrapping everything I wrote and skipping straight to the action. I know I said I wouldn’t overwrite the end of this WIP but 😭🤦🏻‍♀️

#writingcommunity #momswritersclub

I did it! I wrote a 3k word chapter and the world didn’t end 🥹

✨manifesting✨ not overwriting the hell out of the last third of this #WIP 🤣

“How’s the party? How’s the birthday boy?”

Dreamy, I almost blurted out. Funny. Sweet.

“Terrible,” I said instead. “He’s terrible, the party’s terrible. Everything’s terrible.”

My WIP inspo came when I was drafting another YA SFF & thought, wonder if this MC had type 1 diabetes? Wonder if she had to fight bad guys & still deal w low blood sugar? I decided the world deserved a badass MC w T1D who got to fight evil & make out w hot guys ✨

Here’s a short snippet from my YA urban fantasy for #FinishUrBookFall!

#WritingCommunity

It’s officially October, and my goal is still to finish the first draft of my WIP by the end of the year. Can I do it?!

Things in my corner: I love this book and can’t wait to start on revisions🎉

Things stacked against me: 19-month-old and day job😆

#MomsWritersClub #WritingCommunity

A rainy, moody Friday where I have to do my day job instead of write?! Cruel & unusual.

#WritingCommunity #MomsWritersClub

Forever wanting to be as snarky & badass as the MC in my YA urban fantasy:
-she has 3 moods: strong & fearless, unhealthily numb, or incredibly pissed off
-she got kicked out of her all-girls dorm for sneaking boys in
-she steals extra free food from fancy events

I was talking to my sister about my WIP and casually mentioned I was planning to rewrite the entire beginning. She was like, “What?! Like from scratch?” and it reminded me that the stuff writers do that’s so normal to us sounds completely insane to other people 🤣

Here’s the mood board for my YA urban fantasy for #FinishUrBookFall!

Even though I’ve changed a lot about this book since I’ve started drafting and haven’t made a new aesthetic to match, I still think this one captures the vibes of my moody beach town drenched in darkness 💜✨

#writingcommunity

Ooo I love this since I actually hope to finish my book this fall!😬

I’m Bridget & I’m working on a YA urban fantasy about a snarky girl who joins a rebel gang fighting insulin price-gouging & a cinnamon roll LI inspired by the British prince in your fave 90s rom com movie.

#FinishUrBookFall

Ugh back to my day job today after a 2 week vacay. Even though there is no *true* vacation with an 18-month-old, I already miss all the extra writing time!😢😫
