I have retired and am settling into my new role as a Proper Old Woman Who Writes Things. :P I'm going to open mics, starting part-time with the local library, and less than a year from my debut novel. All is good in my hood.

This weekend: pedicure. New seltzer flavor. Rearranged some chapters. 📚

This is my TBR jar. When I finish a book, I’m going to pull a title for the next read. Lots of history and baseball, but a couple of novels. If you are the person I stole this from I thank you. 😘

Very exciting news in my little corner of the world - the content edits, line edits, and copy edits on my debut novel are done!! It's still a year away, but it's been a year of tweaking too. I can't wait to share it. <3 #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity #blindspot #ya

My two favorite things, words and baseball. So happy to have won a spot in the National Baseball Poetry Festival.

I'm at my regular Tuesday #writing group with the Worcester Writers' Collective, and I just figured out the last line of my WIP. And it's perfect. And I want to yell about it but it's quiet writing time so I'm telling my #writingcommunity instead. <3

The minutia of line edits. I love it, though. How’s your Saturday, #writingcommunity?

Since my 2025 is to finish my TBR list, I didn't buy anything at the bookstore. But I did scope out my spot.
