A short story acceptance to close out 2025! What fun news to wake up to. I've been looking for the perfect home for this story, "High School Superlatives," for a while now, and I'm so glad to have finally found it. 🥰

Nothing like journaling your heart out about perseverance and sticking with it and celebrating your writing and then opening your inbox to a short story rejection. 😂 Happy Tuesday from the universe!

Counting down the days til I'm off to a writing retreat in the mountains 🥰🏔️ Excited for time with my WIP and the opportunity to meet writing friends IRL!

Spending the evening reading a writer friend's new piece, then opening up my own document to get back to the WIP. These characters are about to find some trouble... 😈 #amwriting #yawriter

If you're not writing your long book what are you even doing. It's the summer of writing your long book, not the summer of experiencing happiness
I'm going to tell you exactly how to write a book. Do you see that impenetrable brick wall ahead of you? You're going to ram your head into it until long book is long.

Anyone else ever realize you've been focusing on the wrong main character for a WIP?! 🤣 Big changes over here and I'm sooo excited about this new YA project 🥰
May 27, 2025 at 5:52 PM
In that special part of drafting where I'm dreaming of writing literally anything else.... 🫠 Time to shake things up and write a fun, fluffy scene that will have no place in this finished draft! 🤷🏼‍♀️

So what? The literary world is always in the first detonation blast zone. Run towards the searing light. You don't want to live in the world without the arts. Become a writer.

The most beautiful Mother's Day gift from my favorite people 💕 These notebooks from Creator's Friend have come at the perfect time as I begin drafting my WIP (horror romcom?!) in earnest. So thankful to have family that supports me being both Mom AND Writer. 💕

Hopping back into a draft after months away and feeling so proud of a lot of this writing! But also feeling so frustrated that I didn't leave enough notes for Future Danielle to figure out where some of this was going with these [TK]s 😆

If that's not motivation, I don't know what is! 🌞🥰🥲

This short story draft is finally getting close to what I've been imagining, and there's no better feeling. Fingers crossed it finds it home in an anthology soon!

With my birthday coming up this weekend, I'm reflecting a lot on the last year. I parented a newborn and a toddler! I read a lot! I wrote & published some short stories! I went on submission with my YA horror! I'm proud of the last year & hopeful for this next chapter 🥳
