So, I got an email it had been canceled (Best Buy refunded me for the portion that was left) and my plan was to sign back up. I expected Word to stop working or ask me to re-enroll, but it kept working. So I haven’t done anything yet but I haven’t needed anything from One Drive.

Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s also #FridayKiss day. Today’s word is #squeeze and Miles just got friend-zoned!

It’s Friday! This week’s #FridayKiss word is TRADE and Avery is all hot and bothered when she peers into her ghosted ex’s refurbished vintage Mail Jeep.

I can’t tell because the cancelation hasn’t gone through yet. I don’t have much on OneDrive. I will keep you posted when I try to re-enroll tomorrow.

I have this same issue. I contacted Best Buy via chat. They told me to cancel my subscription with them (I did) and then purchase a 365 Personal Classic subscription through Microsoft. You can’t get that through Microsoft. It’s only an option if you cancel an exiting MS subscription.

How to turn off Copilot in Microsoft 365 and save a quick $30 Microsoft probably just moved you to a version of Microsoft 365 with Copilot included, and charged you $30 more for the privilege. Here's how to switch back to Microsoft 365 (Office) without Cortana.

Accidental outsider Maggie Parker & ladder-climbing baseball player Elliot Vance team up to practice dates, prep for interviews, and preserve superstitions together, working toward the future that he wants and she hates— a life sentence as her father’s employee.

This sounds so good!

A watercolor painting of a dock leading to a lake with the text: Lake rules. Soak up the sun. Sit under the stars. Don’t fall back in love. And a banner beneath with the title of the book, ANOTHER SUMMER.

Avery and Miles were once akin to blueberry pancakes & maple syrup—until things turned sticky. They haven’t spoken since.
A decade later, their worlds collide while helping a mutual friend, and Avery begins to question her perceptions of Miles, their love, and herself.

Thank you!

A mood board for ANOTHER SUMMER shows a couple cavorting around a lake, a beautiful sunset, and a lakeside cabin.

MEET ME AT THE LAKE X LOVE & OTHER WORDS
When Avery bumps into Miles, who shattered her heart 10 years ago, she avoids revisiting old wounds, keeping him at a canoe paddle’s distance. He’s got other plans. It’ll take ANOTHER SUMMER to figure out if they’ll sink or swim.

A mood board for the book ANOTHER SUMMER shows a loon floating on a lake, a waterfront cabin, and a couple sitting on a dock.

HAPPY PLACE X SAME TIME NEXT SUMMER
On the heels of her failed engagement, a woman returns to the lakeside resort where she worked in college and encounters her first love, who broke her heart a decade ago, and begins to question their love, her future, and herself.

Mine is still rectangles.

Yes! I mailed a letter Priority Mail (2-3 day) on December 9th. It wasn’t delivered until December 28.

If you’re a fiction writer, I highly recommend starting with THE EMOTION THESAURUS by Becca Puglisi and Angela Ackeman. It’s the thesaurus I rely on most for showing instead of telling.

What’s your favorite thesaurus? I’m dropping mine in the comments.

Timothée Chalamet competently picking college football games while dressed as a T-Mobile sales rep is my favorite part of today.

Answering honestly: lip balm and a hair tie

This is so scary! I’m glad your son is okay. I would’ve reacted the same way you did. It’s so hard when you aren’t there to see they’re okay and give them a hug.

I would buy this and cannot wait for your merch drops 😍

Post a quote from your book that would appear on merch

This is my favorite thing Miles says 💙

Good morning.

If you don't hear from me for a few months it's because I accidentally subscribed to the romancelandia feed and now can't stop reading about tropes and character arcs.
