White table with a coffee mug, a candle, red and maroon leaves, and a kindle. The kindle features the cover for the upcoming book, "And She Runs" by Laura Teagan.

I know I disappeared there for a bit, but your girl has a new book coming out in three weeks!

AND SHE RUNS will be out November 10th. First in a five book series. Hope you're ready to run. 😉

So many books that have been waiting to be read on my #tbrlist this month. One of my goals this year is to give more priority to books that have been on the cart for a while. There are new releases I'll want to read, but I want to have a good mix of both. #amreading #booksky

We got work cut out for us this week. Wish me luck y'all 🤪

Other goals:
- little/no drinking until Friday. My drinking has been heavier than I'd like the past few weeks, so cutting back to get back on track
- write a newsletter today

❄️ Weekly Goals February 17 - 23 ❄️
1️⃣ - start edits on PROJECT WHISPER

Okay, it's been a hot minute. This year has just been one gut punch after another in my life (like three work schedule changes in a month or taking my grandmother to the ER during said month) but I have to get to work while I still can.
So, we're back with some weekly goals.

Sharing the first, itty, bitty sneak peek of my current #wip today on my newsletter.

Well, guess it’s time to read instead of scrolling Booktok. Howdy #booksky

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

Other goals this week:

☑️ - go on three walks
☑️ - clean my office
☑️ - redo my website for 2025
☑️ - build out Notion writing dashboard
☑️ - hit my goal at the day job

🎯 Weekly Goals December 9 - 15th 🎯
1️⃣ - Finish my #WIP
2️⃣ - read 3 books
3️⃣ - start planning for 2025

I've been writing books about an F.B.I. agent for over a decade now. I can't spell "Bureau" on the first try to save my life. Thank you, spell check.

We're finishing this book in the next forty-eight hours. #amwriting

omg yes it is.

#indieauthorlife

Trying to write a newsletter, but I feel like I have no idea what to write, haha.

And I call myself an author.

Okay, time to try and write some. #amwriting

Goodness. I don't even know anymore. I want to write, but I feel like it's rather pointless today. Maybe I'll just snuggle and read after work.

Won #nanowrimo yesterday!

less than 2,000 words left to win NaNoWrimo. This might be the earliest I've ever won, but also, I guess it helps to be unemployed.

Howdy y'all. I'll admit, I'm funnier and more active on a few other platforms (looking at you 🧵) but I'm going to try and post some writing updates here, too.
