After spending most of the night to paint the guest bathroom, I sat in our comfy chase in the library and my golden came to chill with me until he fell asleep and started snoring like an old lumberjack 😴🥱

For no reason, randomly remembered this AM how fantastic the Hulu show, “The Booth At The End” is. One of the best versions of a story playing out entirely in a “telling” structure but is still riveting. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t yet. #writingcommunity

LOVING my new Moft iPad origami cover. I don’t usually fall for social media ads, but I was an easy mark for the marketing. No regrets! It places my iPad screen higher for easier reading as I write my stories. (Not an ad, just happy about it) #WritingCommunity

The absolute sass from my golden as he looks off annoyed by the hall fence I had to build because he and his brother had a little too much fun in the living room one too many times 🛠️🦮😆

I often wonder why my Scrivener program is organized so chaotically, and then I look at my garage workshop. The problem may not lie with the Scrivener program 😄🤡 #writingcommunity

Any other introverts on here that took most of your life to learn how to socialize well IRL social situations, only then to try to engage online with other authors and feel like none of those skills cross-over & just feel like a skill-less introvert again 🙋🏻‍♂️ #WritingCommunity

When Draven—the deleted villain of a fantasy book—finds himself in a library of forgotten stories, he teams up with the reluctant ghost librarian to travel to the real world, find his author, and convince them to rewrite his story before he fades out of existence.

A book cover of “Let Me Be Your Villain” with the tropes around it: grumpy ghost librarian, MM romance, asshole hero antagonist, sunshine villain protagonist, cozy fantasy, magic library, book characters escaping to the real world.

#questpit Nerissa hasn't aged since her fiancé Dylan died. She considers it a curse until an invitation manifests in her hand. An invitation from the very family Dylan was working for when he died. His death was always suspicious, now Nerissa has a chance to prove it. #W #F #amediting
The background is a photograph taken from under the water. Half the photo is taken up by the waves on the surface that are broken up by sunbeams penetrating the water. On each corner is a white corner decoration with straight lines curling as they meet each other. Text: Merrow By: Hannah Smith - New Adult Fantasy - Editing The background is a photograph taken from under the water. Half the photo is taken up by the waves on the surface that are broken up by sunbeams penetrating the water. On each corner is a white corner decoration with straight lines curling as they meet each other. Text: Pitch Nerissa is a Merrow who has lived her adult life going through the motions and waiting for the moment old age will take her so she can finally be with her deceased fiance Dylan. The only issue is that she isn’t ageing. Living decades past when she was supposed to as a Merrow, she curses her fate. That is until she receives an invitation to an employee appreciation party hosted by the very family her fiance was working for when he died. Now all those years are starting to make a little more sense. She had always been suspicious of his death, and this may be the perfect way to find proof to those claims. Getting the proof she needs isn’t as easy as she was hoping, and she winds up on board a ship called The Divine Madness with a motley crew thrown together by circumstance rather than choice. She can only hope that she can get the information she needs before everything goes up in flames. The background is a photograph taken from under the water. Half the photo is taken up by the waves on the surface that are broken up by sunbeams penetrating the water. On each corner is a white corner decoration with straight lines curling as they meet each other. Text: Excerpt Firstly, letters were supposed to appear in Nerissa’s mailbox, not in her hand. The fact that this letter had appeared in such a way did nothing to lessen the torrent emotions currently fighting for dominance in her stomach. That was just the first thing too. Then there was the matter that the Child family was writing to her after all these years. After decades of silence there was no real reason for them to be reaching out to her in this moment. Not anything good anyway. The last time Nerissa had received a letter from them it was to tear her heart out in the most impersonal way possible. She was almost afraid to touch it again. She stuck out one finger and gently poked it, wondering if it would disintegrate in the water and spare her the trouble, but it didn’t. In fact, it was rather clear based on the lack of water marks or warping that it was meant to survive in this very setting, which made the “sent in error” argument significantly weaker. The letter rotated once again, the bright gold lettering catching the icy blue light filtering in through the roof above. Nerissa squinted as she tried to read it, the sheen hiding some of the letters against the dark green backing until it tilted away from the light just enough to read: To the spouse of Dylan Price.
