New book I picked up from the library! It had been a long time since I actually looked through bookcases instead of just requesting online and this pretty lady stood out to me. I can't wait to read her. #reading #books #booksky #mystery

Things I did instead of writing: yoga!
I've been feeling stiff lately, and I decided to get back into stretching. My body feels so loose!🫠 Hopefully, I can keep this up at least a couple times a week. #wellness #yoga #feelgood

He knows when you're sleeping, when you're awake. . .and apparently when you're writing lol. There's something cozy about writing under Christmas lights. I hope everyone who celebrated had a wonderful holiday and everyone who didn't enjoyed their day anyway! #writing #wip #holidays

Around this time of year, these are the cookies I think of and miss dearly. They were mine and my grandma's favorite. She'd have to get multiple lol. I made some homemade ones a couple years back. Guess I'll have to do that again this year! #cookies #raspberry #baking #memories #holidays

I just finished the first round of edits for Solomon's Sins!🥳Now, I'm working on the second and of course I've just created a new character. Why am I like this? 😭 #amwriting #wip #writesky #fiction #fantasyfiction

Things I did instead of writing: baking pie! While this wasn't my first time baking apple pie, it was my first time getting the lattice crust to look so good. 🥹 #pie #applepie #baking #delicious

Solomon can be. . .intense at times. But I'm sure he has good intensions.😓 #amwriting #wip #writesky #fiction #fantasyfiction

Things I did instead of writing: making pizza!
This was my first time making pizza dough (and sauce). It was easier than I expected. I will definitely be making one with more toppings next time! 😋 #pizza #dough #baking #yummy

Back in the world of Solomon's sins, we have Solomon convincing people to change their name. How nice.😕 #amwriting #wip #writesky #fantasyfiction

New excerpt from Solomon's Sins! I picked some dialogue that highlighted the relationship between Solomon and Raul since we'll be seeing a lot of them. Spoiler: they don't get along.😓 #amwriting #wip #writesky #fantasyfiction

While I work on Solomon's Sins, I figure I should spread the word about another story of mine that I finished not too long ago. This is my version of Romeo and Juliet only with a little more blood 😈. Follow the link on my page to read more! #selfpromo #fiction #drama #horror #thriller #shakespeare

When I wrote this, I imagined him being carried princess style, but today I imagined him being carried like a sack of potatoes and now I can't unsee it.🤣 #amwriting #wip #writesky #fantasyfiction

Safe to say Lucrezia has Daddy issues.😔 That won't be a problem in the future AT ALL.😒 #amwriting #wip #writesky #fantasyfiction

Since I'm still in the process of writing Solomon's Sins, I don't know if I'm gonna keep this piece of dialogue, but I had to share it because who doesn't want a love that takes their breath away?🥰 #amwriting #wip #writesky #fantasyfiction

Had to look up information about royalty and ended up with WAY more information than I bargained for.😅Bright side: this should prove useful for future stories too. #amwriting #wip #writesky #fantasyfiction

When I start writing, I try not to stop to look things up because there is a very real chance I'll get side tracked and forget I was writing in the first place. As a result, a good chunk of my rough drafts look like this. 😂 (I blocked out spoilers 😉) #amwriting #wip #writesky #fantasyfiction
