I was on my last page!

I don't know what I would do without my planner.

#writinglife #happynewyear2026

Author wrapped! I am ready for what the new year holds. Hopefully new adventures and authentic connections.

The last signing of the year!

Saw this on my walk. 😍🌲✨

Which is your favorite?

Writing for me is like breathing. I don't think I can live without it.

What is writing like for you?

I love Fablehaven and the Spiderwick Chronicles!

Tiny bookshops. Finally had the time to finish it.

Lovely art from Valentine Backer that I enjoy everyday.

Some of my favorites from childhood. 💕📚💕

My job is just books. 🎉

Great time at @emeraldcitycon.bsky.social this weekend, but goodness am I tired! Thanks to my booth mates Brittany Tucker and Robin Jeffrey. I am so lucky to be surrounded by amazing women and fantastic authors.

Nature is honest.
Nature can't gaslight you.
Unless it's the weather
in Washington State.
She lies.

Reminder:

There are people who will celebrate your success and others who are waiting to comment on your failures.

Be careful with who you let in your life. Has this happen to you?

Today is the release of My First Novel: A Story Plotting Workbook for Tweens & Teens.

A novel writing tool for ambitious young writers. More info at myfirstnovelworkbook.com

Middle-grade a hard sell? Lets not forget what books made us a reader in the first place.

Here are the #mglit books that made me:

Alice in Wonderland
Series of Unfortunate Events
The Chronicles of Narnia
The Hobbit
The Secret Garden

Yesterday, I gave my niece a brown paper bag for her lunch and she said, "Wow! It's like I live in the 1900s." 🙃🫠

I finished a book on my TBR. That is all I came here to say.

So inspired right now but not enough time in the day!

Here are my middle-grade books. I would loved to see yours! Share your kid's lit books below. Let's celebrate reading together.

The ugly side of book releases.

1. Wonky sleep schedule. I'm just now getting a routine back
2. Forgetting to eat!
3. All weekends taken up by book events.
4. Marketing. (Enough said)

I am ✍️editing my stand alone for writing month instead of writing.

A page a day. 📚

Today, I finished editing the 20th page of the book. Just 10 more to go.🎉

I would love to either celebrate or grieve anyone else's progress. 😆 If you want to vent or brag I am here for you.

Writing by candlelight tonight. The powers out!

Welcome Alice!

You're my people!

I adore this. 🎉

For writing month this year I decided to edit my stand alone. I gave myself the goal of 30 pages. I think I can exceed it. Does anyone else have a writing goal?
