Wrapping it up Paper Chase style. 48 hours of me, my manuscript, and a mountain of snacks.

Sometimes you just need to get out of town - out of state - out of country! Officially breaking our “no Canada in winter” rule 🇨🇦

Need to briefly interview a psychiatrist or psychologist. Any of you do either for a living? Happy to send a signed book or a box of books for your help! Hah.

You will be visited by three spirits…

✨ An outline.

✨ A synopsis.

✨ And a rough draft of a novel you keep saying you’re going to write.

My amazing friend is querying her debut novel- check it out!

TWO YEARS AGO TODAY: Trapped by the protests in Peru, we took refuge in the sanctuary where we stayed - which even included a playground!

#WritingCommunity - has anyone used a trap to make your MCs more comfortable? It was a refuge with an expiration date.

Everything will kill you so choose something fun

“Everything will kill you so choose something fun.”

Back-to-back meetings today will be fun, right?! Right??!

Two years ago, we boarded a train to Machu Picchu that never came back. What followed challenged me, rebuilt me, and forever changed how I view the world. The story lingers in me, demanding to be told.

Writers, ever had a moment that won’t let go?

Thanks!

Ooo I like this concept!

🕰️🖤 The Unmaking of June Farrow x Wrong Place Wrong Time🔥🌻

This sounds so good!

Cool creepy vibes!!

Love the sound of this!

Thanks! I had a ton of fun writing it ❤️

A secret party. A raging storm. A dead crypto heiress. Max crashes an elite college party, only to be found standing over the body of the campus it-girl—looking like her killer. Now, trapped by the storm, he has only one night to clear his name.

You will do readings where no one shows up. You will set up at events and sell no books. Rejection will show up in your inbox again and again. You will say “I wrote a book!” and folks will stay quiet or say “Cool!” and then not buy it. It’s all good. Part of the gig. KEEP AT IT.

Awesome!

If I’m in love with my story, others will be too... If I’m obsessed with my story, others will be too…

Today’s #editing mantra!
