I want a new contract, longer tours, more speaking gigs, more short stories in awesome anthologies, and to make a bestseller list. I dream big, but the main dream is writing itself. Also, I must work my ass off trying to make those happen because no one owes me anything.

Happy Winter Solstice!

I'm celebrating with a book, a pot of coffee, a warm snuggly blanket... and silence. ❤️

Write that book. Send that story. Query that agent. Ask for that blurb. Maybe it doesn’t work out, but there’s a chance it will, and that chance—however small you think it is—is all you need.

Alright! Started working on a literary agent starter pack on here, for all my writer friends out there!

Sara, I loved this one! Thankfully, I'm not dead yet... so I'll keep writing & revising. 😜

Second post from my S*bSta*k newsletter is up!

A Book Takes as Long as it Takes (which might be a very long time).

Thanks, Leslie! I love connecting with other "writerly" people! ❤️

Exactly! 🤣😂🤣😂

It was a tough decision to jump onto a new social media app when I had already started seven hundred other ones! 🤣

But, here I am! Nice to see you are paving the way for me. Thanks, Beth. 😍

Congratulations, Elise! ❤️

Great idea, Lyn. I will try to find a photo of one of my quilts that doesn't have a kid wrapped in it. 🤣

I started by watching my mom & aunts surround a handmade piece quilt a couple of times a week. There was always a quilt on the go, so they taught me how to sew the perfect stitch by hand. Now, I create appliqué quilts (that I consider art) for the kids & grandkids. 😍

Fog will give you the perfect atmosphere to write something amazing this morning (as long as you are chugging coffee). Good luck, Lyn.

Oh, I see you are a quilter! Awesome. I've been a quilter since I was 12. Love it! ❤️

Reading a book on the dock while the sun sets over Koshlong Lake.

I'm finally here, just scrolling, strolling & searching for my reading & writing friends. I'll just read a few chapters while I wait for people to find me. 📚
