I have a little bed desk thingy that enables me to write in the comfort of my bed during the winter time. But in the summer, I enjoy writing in the library. The quiet space helps me focus like peer pressure! #writingcommunity

Awesome premise! 💕

How adorable!🥰

That’s good to know that you’ve never turned one down!

I typed "The End" in my book 2!
No longer a one-book writer!
Still a lot to be fixed, but I'm so grateful this story chose me! Thank you to everyone who reached out and supported me. Here's to the Big Magic and all the amazing writers who crossed paths with me! Cheers! #writesky

Haha 🤣 am I crazy for saying I’m in a blissful ignorance right now? So I will say no to the offer but thank you for asking! I feel like the more I hear about other’s experiences, the more stressed I get, so I like being in my little bubble now and will keep my blinders on to march ahead 😆

thank you for the encouragement! Yes, hoping to go the traditional route :) how about you?

makes total sense. thanks so much!

I'm not published yet. Hopefully in the near future :) Psychological thriller is an awesome genre! it's a hard one to write though! really puts your brain to the test haha.

I'm writing mostly in YA romcom, what about you?

typically shorter than your average chapter length, right?

Once Upon a First Line The role of a novel’s opening sentence

Being a fanatic of killer first lines, my love for them sometimes stuns me as a writer. Here are my thoughts on how to write an effective first line of a novel. Hope it will help you get over that blank page syndrome! #writingcommunity #writesky medium.com/write-a-cata...

ah yes! i think that's the genre i see epilogue the most often! sometimes i do feel like it carries on for too long though, hard to find that balance!

What are your thoughts on epilogues? Hate them? Love them? Skip them all the time? How do you tie up all the loose ends without overstaying your welcome? #writesky #writingcommunity

oh that's good to know!!! I adore Scott and Kip! especially Kip! he's encouraging me to work out more LOL!!!

#sparksandscribbles
I love all three of them, because really, we can’t live without any of the three in life! #writesky #writingcommunity

I’ve never read the books actually, and I feel like the show did well enough that I don’t need to. The casting is amazing!!!

I’m so looking forward to the new season!

Sweet!!!! Thank you so much! And yes, the Frozen River was absolutely phenomenal!!!! Highly recommend!!!!

Wooo would I’ve to hear those good names! I could use a good book or two for February! (I finished The Frozen River and Bateater and Other Names for Cora Zeng in January and they were both phenomenal!)

Can identify with this…I read four super amazing books in early January, and now nothing grabs my attention :(

One more chapter!!!!! But I wasn’t strong enough and binged Heated Rivalry in a day 😂 plot wise, it’s actually a very wholesome story 😆 also, Kip is surprisingly buffed as an artist, so I’m going to need to start working out again. #amdrafting #amdistracted #EpilogueKillsMeSmalls

Blank page syndrome is real, but keep in mind the best novels come from first drafts! Allow yourself the permission to write badly first! #writesky #writingcommunity

#sparksandscribbles
I drafted a lot and thought about my new idea, plus reading into the new genre I want to dip into. It was a very fulfilling month and I can’t wait to continue working on the same projects this month! Hopefully finishing some drafting soon. #writesky

Nothing more heartwarming than your sprint group telling you to take a personal self care evening to read a zombie apocalypse book instead of feeling guilty about not writing. #writingcommunity matters! Connect with other #writers! Because together we make it so much more fun! #writesky
