Trying to narrow down my editor list...difficult! But I know some of the stories coming the editors' way, and I think they're going to have a tough time choosing :)

#RevPit

Crawling out of my cave (and I've been doing just fine) to celebrate the beginning of #RevPit festivities.

Let the agonizing begin!

I saw how quickly you write. I know where my bet is going.

I love the Olympics

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Longtime superheroes Aura-Man and The Diplomat are ready to retire. Together. But when revealing their new relationship to the media causes panic, they’re thrust into one last mission: save the multiverse from a collapse of their own making.

too many books to read too many to write what to do

My original goal for this month was 40K — I have just passed 70K words so now this week I would like to finish this new draft completely! Might take 10-15K more based on where I am.

woohoo, thanks for hosting! I hopped in and got 1300 words down :)

I adore this premise and need to see it on shelves!

Thank you!

My writing win is reaching 50K in my brand new November draft! Had some crazy good momentum these first few weeks and I’m thrilled to have so much down. Plan now is to finish this draft before December 15th so I can tuck it away for a month or so and begin revising sometime next year. #FiFRevPit

whew cheers to this

I am so thrilled to announce that I am now represented by Katie Shea Boutillier at Donald Maass Literary Agency! I am looking forward to working together on IVORY TOWER, a psychological horror and dark academia novel.

A Heart and Souls comp?! 😻

Sense of place and physicality. I struggle with this especially in a first draft. I’m lousy with interiority but need to work on anchoring my camera work.

Off to a great start for #FirstDraftFall. I’m thrilled with how easily my main characters’ voices are coming. I’m very much a discovery writer, and didn’t realize I’d be doing dual-POV until I started writing this morning. Excited to see where it all goes!

Shout out to everyone itching to work on their #FirstDraftFall project but forced to Do Capitalism instead

I am right there with you >.<

Had multiple deadlines coming up for various things, writing and non-writing related, and I managed to just press send this morning at last. Maybe the anXieTy will finally subside~

Happy #Aceweek folks. Keep creating, shouting, existing

hey fellas, as Fall rolls around just a reminder to keep using moisturizer w SPF & also to hide away a portrait of yourself in the attic on which your sins venal & ordinary are imprinted so that your outward countenance is forever youthful & innocent!

Have a lot of pent up energy and rage and hope so that’s a fun cocktail that will for sure not burn me out.
