Apidae by Lisa Borne Graves Gritty Fiction for Today's Young Adults

🚨 vanity press move 🚨
I was called on the phone by a human being (let go to voicemail). They wanted to represent my book to “get it in the hands of publishers.” Looked them up—pay us to publish. Did I mention it was this book that already has a publisher?

Why you gotta play me like that? Very few things make me cry, but Leo in that scene overwhelmed me. 😭

Oh dear, Word, are you okay? Do we need an intervention? In what story hellscape would I ever want to change “would murder for her children” to “would murder her children”? #Authorlife #writingcommunity #amwriting

Writing a “Ground Hog Day via 2 POVs” type of concept where the start had to be plotted. Course, I wrote other parts because nothing bores me more or than writing plotted chapters 😩 Fellow pantsers send me motivation! #writingcommunity #authors #authorlife #pantsers #amwriting

I deleted the X app and the ⏰ app off my phone and now feel relieved. Less social media means I might find the time to market again because it’ll be manageable. (Kept accounts open just in case things change in the future.) #writingcommunity

When you love to cook and your husband is an artist, your kid is spoiled with love on his birthday! We have a teenager folks! #writingcommunity

Why the heck does my and my son’s ADHD need hard deadlines—like as in tomorrow—to get work done? We slayed today when we had weeks of failure. No routine? We have meltdowns in different ways. 🤦🏻‍♀️ At least, success! #adhd #neurodiverse #parenthood

Kinda tired and confused about the internet saying older women are disgusting…anywhere I go? Men from 25+ are staring at, talking to, or flirting with me. I’m average. Where is this hatred of older women coming from? I think I know, but do tell. #witingcommunity #women #womenwriters

44 and feeling fab. Happy bday me! #thisis40something #momlife #authorlife #lecturerlife #amwriting #writingcommunity

Someone didn’t believe I wrote 66k+ of a novel in 22 days during the Nov. writing sprint. Here’s pics of my daily breakdown: worst day 0 and best day 8k+ #writingcommunity #pantser #amwriting #authors

I slayed NaNo! A 50k writing goal in 1 month? I’ve done more in 3 weeks! Now grading. #writingcommunity #authors #authorlife #writing #lecturerlife #writingsprint #writers

And just when I felt like I can make the ADHD 🧠 focus on one WIPs a at time, last night I dreamed an awesome detailed scene for unexpected new WIP. Well played 🧠, well played. #adhd #authorlife

I should be editing client’s book, but instead I’m revising my book (draft 2) and have 1 chapter to add and a couple that need a few additions. At 84k already for contemporary YA romance 😬 #adhd #authorlife #amwriting

Another interview in the books.

The best part of doing events is when fans search for you the next time for the newest book and compliment you until your cheeks hurt from smiling.😊 Makes me work harder so they’ll have that next book pronto. #authorlife #books #authors

Exhausted with a 2nd day to go but had a blast and sold a lot of books today at local seafood festival. Sold out of my omnibuses (entire trilogy in one bound book). Some pics before the too-busy chaos. #authorlife #bookevents #books #readingcommunity

Gave myself a week after work ended to unwind and do nothing. Diving back into editing and working out this week. Gotta slay 3 manuscripts to get back to my own writing, but helping others’ improve their writing is my calling.

“Love” when I reread a shelved book I submitted to publisher and upset myself with the villain’s words at the end that ACTUALLY were said to me by a stranger in public. My CPs thought it was over-the-top, too much 😭

I have no idea. I have office 365 and I heard you can work online together like on Google Docs. We shall see.

It’s a blessing and curse. I have to watch many rough drafts and partials collect dust while I finish other series. I just don’t have the time to get to them or new ideas.

Yes. Word for drafting and my edits. Publisher uses Google Docs for their edits, and I love how we can simultaneously collaborate. Trying out Word’s version of collaboration with a new editing client, so I’ll see how that goes.
