For all the writers stricken with self-doubt: DO IT ANYWAY

It’s ok, four 6’s don’t count. 😉

me: it's okay to be a person struggling with productivity during a prolonged crisis my brain: not u though me: not me though

A shooting at an ICE facility in Texas, Charlie Kirk killed in Utah, yet no calls to send the National Guard to those states. Just the blue ones Trump doesn’t like.

Because I live in Utah, my pharmacy requires me to have a prescription for being pregnant to qualify for a COVID shot. Had to scrape my OB’s eyebrows off the ceiling and get that paper. Sometimes you gotta push through and do the ridiculous to get vaccinated. #vaccinated #COVIDshot

In light of what happened, I watched some of Charlie Kirk’s videos to better understand him.
Now I’m so angry I want to drag him back to mortality and give him a stern lecture. Especially about his gross misconceptions of motherhood.

I think it’s also very interesting that having children took priority over a having a spouse/relationship for Trump voters, whereas it’s the opposite for Harris voters.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

Thanks to my toddler’s toilet-flushing escapades, all the tile and carpet needs to be torn out and replaced in the second story of my house, right before I’m due to deliver a 10lb baby.
Anyone got some good news I can jive with?

Still better than “You’re a writer? How many books have you published?” 😆

Have an amazing time! ✈️

When life feels heavy and especially emotionally fraught, I keep rediscovering the immense healing power of:

✨ eat some food
✨ drink some water
✨ get some sleep

I’m reposting this because unfortunately it’s even more relevant. #immigration #stopice #genealogy

Oh, for a time machine to take me back to 1933!

My in-laws gave my toddler their old fisher price cash register. I tried to explain to him what it was for, and then had to backtrack and explain what coins were. I think he’d get it if fisher price had an Apple Pay toy. 🤪

So very true.

You’re going to get a lot of rejections and agents will ignore your emails and there will be naysayers around every corner and you’ll get 1-star reviews that are attacks instead of reviews. None of that matters. Keep going. Stay focused. Put in the work. Don’t quit. Go write.

It’s true you did 😂

Woohoo! Go Emily!

With quality writing like they did for the new Duck Tales 😊

Watched an episode of Gargoyles where Xanatos loses a judo match to his assistant, so he pulls a museum heist and dukes it out with Goliath in a robo-battle suit to feel make himself feel better.
Man, I love this show.

Lol I’d be pissed off too in her position 😂

When someone asks what parenting be like… 😂🤣
🐵 🥰

Emergency vet?? That sounds super stressful on top of everything else!

Slay, girl!

You know you’re having a bad day when your two-year old tells you to calm down and take a deep breath. 😮‍💨 #momlife #parenting

Have you noticed most book titles these days are “[royal title/object] + [creepy noun/adjective]”? Characters can have conflict without being royal or dark. Let’s get some variety, like “The Unsuspecting Socialists” or “Middle Class Conundrums.” #writing #booktitles

Thoughts and prayers for your kitty! She’s been through a lot. 🐈‍⬛ 🙏
