Achievement unlocked! I hit 50k words in my newest manuscript. This first draft is so much fun to write, and I can’t wait to share more about this angsty coming-of-age new adult book with you 💖

“Fearless writing is the willingness and ability to choose your writing path, & write as your authentic self.”
Taking some time today (and every day) to squeeze in some time to write, reflect, find my voice, & work on being fearless.

File this under things I never thought I’d say before having kids… “no, there is no ‘kit’ you can buy to genetically modify seeds” and “no, you cannot combine human dna with plant dna.”
Any tips on things my 8 year old can do/learn about to encourage his interest in genetic engineering? 🤣🤦♀️
My short story in this collection was one of my all-time favorites to write, probably because it was inspired by a trip my family took to the Oregon coast, where we witnessed the minus tide. amzn.to/454v4XB

When I told my 8-year-old that he couldn’t have lighter fluid or anything flammable to make something he saw on YouTube, he replied “you never let me do anything fun!” 🤦♀️🤣

Why is it taking me so long to finish my lit agent research? Because I keep finding new books to add to my HUGE TBR list 🤣🤦♀️😅
My Goodreads “want to read” list is currently at 1237 and growing!
Completely agree. The banter was not on the level I needed for a Suits spin-off

We can & should write for the world we hope we will have, not the one we are stuck with right now

He has every American’s financial data and is now deciding who gets paid going forward. If that is not what you voted for, call your elected officials

For those of you, like me, who are feeling the overwhelm… here’s how to find your focus.
We all have a part to play right now. Focus on the things you CAN do, and not on the things currently out of your control.
Nah. I should have said it was a “new to me” chair… garbage picked 🤣 so if it’s from Costco I wouldn’t know! 🤣
