I have “professional snacker”’ in my bio and need to start showing the receipts. These were cheesecake cherry cookies. My kids were not impressed, but my neighbors loved them! #Writersnacks #snacktime

You know it’s serious when the pages are printed and the pen is out. #writesky #WIP

Hey #Writesky you know what impresses the hell out of me? Like knocks my socks off. Is when you receive rejections and just keep going.

This gave me the inspo for my MC’s cutthroat world. Copeland described how employees ranked each other via virtual baseball cards in a corporate hunger games. The lone woman exec was called the ice queen and unfairly terminated. In my book, I was determined to to give the “ice queen” a better end.

I just watched season 19 of Project Runway (I’m behind, I know) and I always learn so much from this show that applies to my writing 🧵…

I read an agent’s #MSWL that they wanted a #werewolf YA. Wow! Are we still into this in 2025? If so, I’m keen to write one with some killer social commentary. I would love to take down predatory billionaires and werewolves would help me do it. Also, please send me your werewolf book recs?!?

My baby started Kindergarten. It’s fine. Really. It’s okay. There seems to be a new effect on here. The screen keeps misting up.

Amazing!

When you're rich Insurance ensures you immortality. When you're poor you ensure someone else’s. That didn’t happen to Jake. He should've died, his body claimed by an Insured. Instead he inherits the life and identity of the murdered Father of Immortality.

I read and loved this one👇👇👇…
How’s Summer Going for Nellie Garcia?
🤐 Laid off, not telling anyone
🇵🇭 Determined not to disappoint her Filipino dad
💸 Can’t afford BFF's wedding
🏠 Rent’s going up
😏 Keeps running into her ex–work rival (the groom’s brother)
...She’s fine. (She’s not.) #questpit #q #a #wf #r #amquerying

Her writing is so cinematic. It’s really interesting how she renders documentary film into her book. Also, this cover!

What’s helped you improve the most as a writer? For me, it was reading and creating a near daily pattern of writing, but I’m so curious to hear what you all think?

A trusted CP told me, my characters need a bit more romantic euphoria before I destroy their worlds, which is happy news for a romance writer. You mean I get to write one more chapter of hope and connection? Count me in! I aim to channel Jamie and Claire vibes, but you know, contemporary. 🤞🤞🤞👌👌👌

My dear fellow writers, you’re awesome.

You’re not lazy, nor talentless, nor distracted, nor unmotivated.

You’re just fine. You’re enough.

It’s okay. You deserve a break sometimes too, and enjoy the little things in life.

Doing line edits one chapter a day, but with the chapters out of chronological order. I’ve never done that before, and it helps me focus on the chapter as a whole and really get into the small details. #editing #writergirl #ilovewriting
