From stuck to stoked. Coming out of a pesky spell of writer’s block on my second novel. First book is almost ready for querying. Need to focus. #authorsky #booksky #amwriting #authorlife #writersblock #inspiration

I’d planned to begin drafting my second novel but some family stuff has come up and I can’t seem to get in a flow. #writersblock #booksky #authorlife #persistence

Thank you so much! 🤗💕

I hope you’ll wish me luck. 🍀 #authorlife #publishing #writingcommunity #agents #booksky #authorsky #books #fiction

Need comps for my query letter for my debut novel, Lake Amanda., contemporary fiction. See blurb below. All suggestions welcomed.

Pushing through last round of edits before resubmitting my debut novel to the editor who did a Critical Analysis & Review. Hopefully, the revisions are working!

I wasn’t sure I could hang for 44 seconds, but I was able to hang for one second 44 times! Baby steps. Chunking. #writer #fitness #authorlife #motivation #writersofinstagram

Congrats!🎉🎈

Still at it! On Chapter 20 of my manuscript. At least I have fewer changes with each editing pass. One more after this and that should be it…I hope. 🤞😬 #author #writingcommunity #amwriting #fiction #writingprocess #editing

I just remembered that I put a cup of water in the microwave 30 minutes ago to make some tea and forgot all about it. But I made good progress on my writing! Senior moment or in the zone? I’ll take the latter.

I always have these same questions.

Stuck in editing hell! The only way out is to keep pushing through. I can do this! #authorlife #amwriting #editing #revisions #writingcommunity #booksky #fictionwriters

Revisions complete! Now editing away and enjoying an icy cold peach beverage at this cozy bookstore/cafe in a quiet part of Florence, Italy. #authorlife #booksky #writingcommunity #books #amwriting #florence #editing #authorsky

Vibrant and inspiring! Ciao!

In the name of research, I will indeed try that! Grazie!

Gelato time!
There’s no better place to edit my manuscript than Florence, Italy, and no better place to break from editing than my friendly neighborhood gelateria! #amwriting #florence #gelato #booksky

Super excited to share T. Greenwood’s book launch announcement. Tammy is a prolific writer and has been an incredible mentor. I can’t wait to read her new book! #booklaunch #fiction #booktok #bookrecommendations @tammygreenwood

That’s a great example! Thank you!

Sounds like it’s definitely needed. Can you give an example of an important thing they leave out?

“Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow, you’re only a day away.”

I’m constantly voice-recording into my phone story ideas, lines of dialogue, and better wording to incorporate into my WIP. I do it mostly when walking & driving, but also when reading a book. Does anyone else do that? I find it extremely helpful. #authorlife #authorsky #writersky #booksky #writing
