Tiff

I might be a little quieter here this season—and that’s okay. You have permission to pause too. Let the little moments matter more than the to-do list. #writer #amwriting #writingcommunity #amrevising

A simple text in August 2024 reminded me of a dream I’d buried. I thought I’d walk away again—but I didn’t. And it changed everything. If you’ve put your dream on a shelf, maybe today is the day you dust it off.

I don’t understand this reference, but you are correct! 😂

This is stunning!

Grateful today for warm light, strong coffee, and the people who make life softer. Happy Friday, friends—hope the weekend is gentle with you. #amwriting #amrevising #writingcommunity #writesky #writer #author

Why “Nice Girls” Write Dark Stories (or, What Dark Fiction Gets Right About Hope)

Thrillers: scary, messy… and full of hope??
I explain why “nice girls” like me write them — and why it matters — on my Substack.

Wow, that’s impressive! 2–3k per day is some serious focus. You’re crushing it! 💕

I’m so glad you’re feeling ready to dive back in! It’s tough when confidence takes a hit, but the fact that you’re picking yourself up and moving forward says so much about your resilience!

Taking a quick breather to check in on my writer friends—how’s your WIP coming along? I’m steadily chipping away at revisions. #writingcommunity #writesky #writer #amwriting #amrevising #amediting

When Stepping Away Becomes Part of the Story This weekend, I gave myself 48 hours away from my manuscript, from my characters, from the deadlines waiting in the wings.

I rested away from my manuscript this weekend, and it was just what I needed.
More on my substack.

A haunted house but it’s just your family asking what your book is about and you instantly forgetting every word you’ve ever written. 👻 BOO!

Happy Friday! May today bring clarity to your words, warmth to your coffee, and good news to your inbox. ✨

Writing is strange.
Messy.
Beautiful.
Lonely.
But full of quiet victories. 💛

To everyone sitting with their words today: keep showing up. Trust the process. You’re not alone — we’re in this together, even when apart. ✨ We need you and what you’re writing. #writingcommunity #writer #author #art

Ah yes, the prologue to the writing process. 😅

That stage counts as creative incubation. The story’s still working under the surface, even when it feels like shambles.

That stage where you’re both author and executioner. Every cut hurts, every sentence pleads for mercy. 😩

Where I am at today, too!

I love how we all come at the art a little differently! 💕

Omg. Truest thing I have read today! 😬😅

The “writing process” in 3 moods:
☕️ romantic cafe scribbles
😵‍💫 existential crisis in pajamas
💀 rewriting one sentence for an hour

Which stage are you in today?
#writingcommunity #writesky #amwriting #amrevising #writer #author

Agreed! I hate it, so I reverse outline—outline after I have written the story. 🙃

This is so, so true!!

Finding the Right Agent for You It’s been a few weeks since I wrapped my own querying journey, and I’m still thinking about what made the difference in finding the right agent.

Just shared a new Substack for anyone querying agents: the most underrated factor I didn’t realize mattered as much as anything else — communication style. ✍️
#writingcommunity #amwriting #amediting #amrevising #writesky #writer #author #amquerying

Writers: when you get your agent’s notes, do you do one big revision pass first or revisit sections as new notes come in? My agent reads & responds in chunks, and I’m curious how others handle it. We plan to do 2 full passes total—maybe 3. #writingcommunity #writesky #amrevising #amediting

Such a fantastic writing day!! Knocked out four chapters of revisions and actually feel confident in them. Some days I creep myself out with what my mind creates—today’s chapters were dark, and I’m so here for it. #amwriting #writingcommunity #amrevising #amediting #writer #author #thriller

Been deep in revisions and character chaos lately. Writing messy, morally gray women is exhausting… but also thrilling. Anyone else love their characters a little too much? #writingcommunity #writesky #writer #author #amediting #amrevising #amwriting

My coffee addiction isn’t that noticeable. I just get headaches, can’t think straight, and become lightheaded when I forget to drink a cup. I think that’s just normal authorial behavior! #Funny #Writing #Coffee #CoffeeAddict #Humor #Author #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #BookSky #Writers #WritingHumor

Rumor has it AI might replace authors.

But can it spiral over a single line of dialogue at 3 a.m.?

Didn’t think so.

#amwriting #writingcommunity #amrevising #amediting #writesky #writer #author

Yes! 100%

The world is already dark—so why do we crave psychological thrillers? They let us face fear & obsession safely, give shape to shadows we can’t name. We can close the book, breathe again. That’s why I read them. That’s why I write them. 🖤 #amrevising #writingcommunity #amwriting #writesky
