Sometimes you come across a piece of dialogue you don't remember writing, and suddenly a certain song comes on and now you're crying as you try to edit.

Happy Monday!
It feels good to ease back into the swing of things. Got my new bullet journal, notebook, and a jelly donut 🍩 😋. Did some editing and now time for world building.
QOTD: What are you working on this week?

Already easing back into work, especially now that I have my writing nook back. I have so many plans for 2026.
Let's go!
#romancewriters #latinaauthor #indieauthor #indiewriter
By this time next year, we'll be in our new house and I will have my own office, which I can't help daydreaming about!
Note: the Anne Bonny pic and compass were Christmas presents from my wonderful husband. 😊 I'm going to love looking at then while I edit Phoenix's Call.
My writing corner is back!
I moved the kiddo's computer to my desk in the kitchen so we could put the Christmas tree up and figured I'd let him keep it for convenience sake.
I also missed the artwork and sitting in the living room.

Unreal. Absolutely astonishing that Battle Cry just hit 5k total downloads!

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Now he's almost 13 and finding this really drives home how long I've been trying to write this story. It made me even more emotional than I already am.
#indieauthor
While working on one of the last chapters of Phoenix's Call, I turned the page and found this.
Instantly I had flashbacks to when my son was very young, probably around 6 or so, and he would steal my notebooks to scribble in them.
✏️ #wipwednesday ✏️
This is the closest I've ever been to finishing the full draft. My goal is to finish these last chapters before 1/1/26 and I can't believe how attainable that is.
QOTD: How's your WIP going? Share your writing goals for the rest of the year!
