My dinner last night may have been leftovers from my kids’ lunchboxes, but I ran a kickass writing workshop for younger kids after school where everyone had fun and stories got written 💜 and the library has already asked me to do it again sometime!

My baby prefers to watch the world upside down these days.
So I followed his lead and flipped my manuscript.
It slowed me WAAYYY down.
I saw my words in a way I didn’t know I needed.

Yesterday, while making granola bars,
I looked down to find
a chocolate chip
melting in my baby’s ear.
May your next #kidlit writing session
be just as silly and sweet. 🍫

May he soon turn a page
And find his wings.

Being a #WriterMom means my time is stretched thin.
As a social strategist by day, consistency matters in social media—but if you don’t have the bandwidth, focus on the platforms that work for you & your audience.
Don’t burn yourself out trying to be everywhere at once.💙

Night writing used to feel impossible—after work, kids, and the day job. But as a #WriterMom, I’ve learned to embrace it.
Finally in the flow, making real headway. If you’re a night owl, own it. 🌙✍️

Tired gang. Best time to write for me is when the baby sleeps and I'm coherent. Usually later in the day. #writermom

Big thanks to my husband for taking the kids to the park after work so I can finally return to my manuscript.
It’s been 3 days away, but I’m easing back in—slowly, one word at a time.

Wrote 1,014 words & hit 35k in Book 4 of the Serpent Series!
Feels like a small miracle. No screaming kids—just 2 quiet hours while they were out of the house.
Grateful to end at a place where I know exactly what comes next. Momentum matters to this busy #WriterMom.

Didn’t write all day. Just sent Hubby on kid-duty—buying myself a quick sprint before the chaos returns. Fingers crossed the words show up before they do.
Even 20 minutes can move the story forward. Progress is progress.

Another tough day—my son’s really missing his dad, who’s out of town again. It’s tough to write during one of these moments. It reminds me how hard it is doing this without nearby family.
Just feeling it all today.

When you don’t have family nearby, parenting is a different kind of hard.
My husband & I have no family in CA, so when he’s out of town, it’s all on me.
If you’ve got family close by & kids, be grateful. You don’t realize how much you need a village until you don’t have one.
