When it’s day 3 of being iced in, and you’re trying to figure out: is this today’s coffee…or yesterday’s…or…?
#CoffeeTime

Santa and Christmas are not things that exist in Azavyir…BUT, if they did, this is how my four favorite characters would react to the idea of St. Nick…Merry Christmas from The Boy with Magic in His Bones crew!

Me - sits down at work and turns computer on.

Computer, immediately - “File not found.”

M - “I didn’t even ask you for a file. Stop being so negative.”

#Fridays

When you think, is it in your voice? Is it in ANY voice?

Me, a discovery writer by nature, getting excited about my new book idea…wanting to try at least a skeleton outline before diving in, but not great at it…just has a bunch of bullet points labeled “feral thoughts” and it’s the most accurate description ever 😂

Apparently there are people who don’t always have at least a dozen thoughts going through their mind simultaneously…my coworker confirmed this because, apparently, she’s one of them…

Me - What’s that like?
Her - It’s f-ing awesome!

When the word processor tries to correct your grammar…but it’s wrong…

So many people out there grieving “It’s been my honor,” meanwhile I’m over here sobbing in the corner, gutted and destroyed by “Sure. I’ll be your sister.”…

The two biggest ambitions (aka “lies) in my life: my TBR list and my TBC (To Be Cleaned) list.

Not me pulling up to my kids’ daycare and having to take a minute to compose myself in the car because Suzanne Collins just broke my heart for the ???th time 😢
#sunriseonthereaping #readingcommunity

Spend a year writing a book, thinking the whole time it’s pretty good…start revising…after reading it like eight times it starts sounding like this…

a man in a plaid shirt is sitting in front of a window with a sticker that says ugg ALT: a man in a plaid shirt is sitting in front of a window with a sticker that says ugg

Thought I hated revising, but I’m actually having fun with it. Know what I wasn’t wrong about hating? Writing query letters😵‍💫

Working on revisions and I just verbally started explaining why I did something in the manuscript…not sure who I’m explaining it to…I’m the only one here and I already know why I did it…🤔
#WIP #revision #WritingCommmunity #WriterLife

Just ran across a note in my phone from a year ago about two characters in my WIP and possible plot for them…and it’s NOTHING like what ended up in the book 😂

First draft of my WIP done tonight! I’ve been writing since I was eight and this is by far the fastest I’ve ever completed a first draft…and I had so much fun with it! Revisions and word cuts start soon, but tonight, we celebrate!

Me, writing, in the moment - “The knife lay on the floor, a couple feet away and he crawled towards it, reaching out. But another hand got there first, snatching it from his fingers...”

Kid - “Hey, can you make me cinnamon toast?”

Sitting in a chair, trying to figure out if one really could bend down and undo a wrist tie with their teeth…like, “It’s research!”
