I'm blushing 😌

I am so excited to finish this book and share it with you all. It has truly become a beautiful and welcome part of my life - my soul on paper.

When you finally break your three-week writer's block just to get blocked again 😭

You guys - I got my first book review!!! I'm so excited and I hope to see more reviews!

Not all my recs are romance! My husband and I listened to Head On by John Scalzi on a road trip and were so captivated I bought the sequel for the drive back. Smart, fast-paced, and wildly inventive sci-fi. I definitely recommend picking up a copy.

I absolutely loved One Last Stop. It’s a swoony, funny queer romance about falling in love with someone who feels impossible to reach—and fighting to make the impossible possible.

It's WIP Snip Wednesday - In the Light of Dying Stars is a tough one to write, but something I'm most proud of. What happens when our worst fears are realized and we're forced to live life in a new way?

I’ve officially sold copies of my book—and so many have told me they're reading it through Kindle Unlimited! I’m so honored by the support. Who knew I’d be sitting here celebrating complete strangers picking up my words and (hopefully) enjoying them?

I am truly humbled.

Incredibly cathartic 🙌

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Unbox my book with me!

YOU GUYS. I did it!

Now buy my book!!! PWEASE.

Tomorrow, I become a published author. It will mark a lifetime achievement - one that ten-year-old me quietly writing poetry or that sixteen-year-old me hammering out short stories in my journal never thought I'd be brave enough to do.

Thank you for all of your support 🙏 ❤️

I'm working on a new story, and damn if I don't know whether or not I'm going to end up punching my readers in the face at the end. It feels like the only place for this to go is tragically.

What made you decide which way to go?

Writing a book about a character who tackles MY greatest fear and guess what, the brain doesn't know the difference between real and imagined, so I can only write one chapter a day. 👍

Ty! My guess is I'll get a few hundred rejections before I'm ever even asked for a submission, so I'm locked in.

I got my first manuscript rejection! Am I a real author now?

Promising news - they said my novel had "many intriguing elements."

Wahoo! 🙌 Gotta celebrate those losses as wins, friends.

#writingcommunity #booksky #authors

Absolutely - thank you for the reminder! ❤️

Submitting queries feels like a full time job in addition to my (unpaid) non-profit job, which is in addition to my actual full time job, which is balanced with volunteering, which is also balanced with screenwriting protest skits. And parenting.

Y'all.

I'm tired.

Thank you! Me, too. Your book sounds so good!

So far it is! I'm not doing myself any favors by adding new chapters as I'm formatting 🥴, but I was really diligent in editing to kind of "pre-format" things, so it's only been some tweaks here and there.

That's an extremely on point description. I heard Reedsy was good, so I'm trying that. Any paywall gotchas to pay attention to?
