Though it shreds my heart, I don’t really cry for her.
Is it wrong not to give my tears to the lifelike face on the satin pillow? To the closed eyes that could see no way out?

I cry for the living, for the friends and family walking around with the word “why” on their lips.

One of my favorites scenes from any movie! 🤩

I'll be calling the doctor later to find out what foods lead to waxy buildup.

They can’t get to your creative spark. So they can only write the past. The future is still yours.

The softcover of Songs of Broken Bells displayed on a wooden counter with bells on gold and white ribbon hanging to the left of it. Text at the top says “Available now!” Text surrounding the book says “meddling saints, corrupted magic, queernormative setting, the real adventure was the therapy we got along the way, found family, F/F and M/NB romances, paying the price” Text at the bottom of the picture “50% of revenue Oct 17-24 will be donated to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund” Cover description: It features the four main characters arranged in a diamond formation, a stained glass design at the top with a sun on one side and shadows on the other, and a string of cracked bells on the sides.

I was not perfect before I broke

I might have been more pure - untouched by the careless hands of life

Those hands that use and cast aside before reaching for another bit of naïve detritus

And
I am grateful.

I could never have been complete without being broken.

I am me.

I cannot control who reads my books.
There will be many people who hate them.

That’s okay. The one-stars are my red badge of courage.

But for the right readers
Who find the books at that perfect moment
When they are questioning,

I want my books to be transformative.🙏🏻💜

Great form!🤩

In my first historical fiction novel, I used some horror writing techniques. 🔪

In my second historical fiction novel, I borrowed tropes from romance. 💘

One might say I have no idea what the heck I’m doing. 🤪

If I open my heart to you
What will you place within?

A treasure? Your story?
Hopes and dreams?

A heart is vast. Perhaps you would curl within my warmth.

Or maybe you are a thief.
The heart is a vault.
Maybe you will only leave fingerprints
As you take my essence.

I couldn’t write my first book again. You’re right. I’m not the same person. 😀

Someone just referred to their YA book set in the 1980’s as Historical Fiction. 🫣

💜💜💜

It’s gorgeous! 😍

It’s historical fiction set in the Copper Age in the Fertile Crescent. 😀

My critique partner is giving me a ton of good notes plus a lot of kudos on my second novel! 💜

I’m so excited to get into my next draft now. 😀

We need the rain and the sun to grow.

It’s not the two jobs she works
Nor the hairnet she forgets to take off before going to bed

It’s not the three beautiful children at home
Nor the fact that she can’t help them with their math homework

It’s the spirit that swirls inside
And makes her dance at bus stops

Wow! You’re fast! 😀

Yay, Naomi!

Congrats on the new release! 😀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I watch my grandchildren
How we teach them
To seek joy

A picnic in the park
A silly face
A favorite toy

Falling down

Then, I have to wonder
When do we teach them
That all that
Was wrong.
