Rep Moskowitz is the level of petty I aspire to be. #justiceforcricket

Omfg!! That’s crazy!!

Oohhh! Good point!

I wish I could put a disclaimer on my search history.

And my text messages. I literally helped another author friend of mine plan an unaliving of one her characters in detail …

For my wip, I had to research if bodies get stored in local funeral homes and how long before a body pending identification sits without being lightly preserved.

I swear my search history is gonna get me flagged in some data base.

No one on their death bed regrets eating the cake. They regret not doing things that make them happy. Be happy. Eat the cake.

Macy falls hard for Parker- Parker doesn’t do relationships - until she meets Calypso.
Calypso hates Macy. Macy hates Calypso.
Calypso’s history is revealed- Parker leaves Calypso and ends up with Macy. Until Parker learns the truth about Macy
It’s all very messy.

Currently in my Hozier era and honestly? Not mad about it. His music has become the soundtrack to everything I write lately. Every lyric, every haunting chord just cracks something open creatively. If my next project feels a little more devastating, you know who to thank.

So very true!!

Awe! Thank you!

What no one tells you when you become an indie or small press author:
You need to learn marketing, social media management, graphic design, have an aesthetic, and still find time for your day job and to keep writing.

A brief post on using AI to create any part of a book: don’t.

Reviews are meaningful and purposeful for many reasons.

They help sell books- even the negative ones.

Sometimes they can help you improve your writing.

They help others decide if a book is for them.

What they shouldn’t be and in most cases are not- is personal.

My struggle when I finish writing a novel is the characters who caused me nothing but stress, late nights, and emotional damage, are now gone. I miss them like you miss a toxic ex: the emotions were all so real and the attachment, but it was all in my head.

Fake uniform. Fake medals. Fake president.
Stolen valor by Captain Bonespurs the Draft Dodger.

My imposter syndrome is undefeated. I’ve got two award-winning novels, and my brain still whispers, “you are such a poseur.”

I’ve won over literary committees with two different books, you’d think my inner critic could at least stfu. But no. It’s too busy suggesting I was just lucky.

I’ve officially gotten the rights back for Like Sapphire Blue! No beef with my publisher. We just didn’t see eye to eye on distribution. This is the first of my books I’ve brought back. It’s available beyond the ‘Zon.

Balancing writing, working, marketing, family time, self care, and having fun is its own unique challenge.

But anyway, I wrote almost a thousand words yesterday (only to delete half because I don’t love them).

Building readership is posting into the void on various social media sites to build authentic engagement and an aesthetic and a brand…
Sleeping is optional.
And forget about time to write your damn novel.

I recently when on Instagram to redo my author page.

Maintaining an aesthetic on Instagram to sell books is a full time job.
I just want to write books and be perceived as mildly unhinged. There’s no time for aesthetics.
Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk.

Back in the PNW for the week, and since my first trip here, it feels like coming home. The mountains, mist, shore all coming together… it’s the soul of my newest novel coming out soon.
I am so happy to be back in the place I consider home!

Every writer has a soundtrack. These songs built my characters, broke them, and put them back together…
I think music helps you feel the story.

Writing is therapy.
You slay the demons you couldn’t touch in real life.
You name the pain, rewrite the ending, and call it art.
That’s healing.

🔥🔥 Love this.

“If your characters do diabolical shit, that means you had to think of it.”
Yeah. I imagined it. Justified it. Wrote it like I meant it.
Doesn’t mean I’d do it—
Just means I understood how someone could.

Woke up at 3 a.m. with a brilliant idea for my book… but I was warm, comfy, and perfectly cuddled up with my Boston terrier, so I told myself I’d remember it in the morning. Now I’m staring into my coffee like it owes me answers.
