In my first book, my protagonist would self implode…she’s not good at being the center of attention and hates small talk socializing. In my second, my protagonist would shimmer with pride because she loves to be in the spotlight! #yaromcom #writingcommunity

#wip protagonist is a short queen spitfire! She has may artistic talents, but her favorite hobby is making her nemesis blush. #yaromcom
Wooo good luck!!!
One of my writer friends told me to stop calling my first drafts "vomit drafts".
"They're unpolished diamonds," she said.
And I feel like I should share it with the #writingcommunity as well.

When you feel down about your writing and suddenly get a message from one of your betas that she finished reading in a week as opposed to a previously scheduled month because she can’t stop reading it and gushed about the story…this is what a writer lives for ❤️ #betareaderrocks #writingcommunity #ya

In my first wip, my protagonist is a lot like me, but in my second wip, I decide to go the complete polar opposite. Shy vs snotty, but they both have snark to them and I love them both so much 😆 #writingcommunity #yaromcom #kidlit

🙏🏼thank you!
Wow, some days are just really difficult to get by…when you think you’re doing great but something always hits you when you least expect and that shelf you’ve been loading up without realizing just crumbles. But it’s okay. Because this too shall pass. Tomorrow is another day. #writingcommunity
Congrats!!🎉
Anyone who doesn’t understand the concept of raising the stakes should watch Hoppers. It is such a well-written story, I am extremely impressed! Pixar will always humble me with a great story and great inspiration when my creative brain needs soul food! #hoppers #pixar #writingcommunity
Stay tuned for our next writing challenge. We will focus on the craft of writing for the 12 weeks of spring, starting on April 6th.

Thinking of blogging about writing lessons I learned. #writingcommunity, what topics do you want to see more of? Motivation and inspiration? Outlining and plotting? Brainstorming and unblocking? Character building? Analyzing published books? Or self-editing? #writesky #writer
Trader Joe's Cashier: Did you find everything you were looking for?
Me: I'm good, how are...wait, I mean yes, I did...
Sometimes I'm so grateful I'm a writer, because I certainly can't handle real life in my rough drafts mind... #writerlife
I recorded my two cents on creating a compelling (YA) character. Sharing it with the #writingcommunity in case the lessons I learned might benefit you too! #writeronwriting

i vote for #3!
If you’re someone who loves a flawed protagonist, bold writing, and a complicated family history, give this book a try. You don’t need to be a historical fan to fall in love with this story. #bookreview #booksky #reading #murdermystery #AmyChua #books

Wrapping up a wip in winter/early spring is the worst. Every time I want to finish something, the weather smirks at me with an “oh yeah? Think again.” To all the remote learnings and two-hour delays this week (and yes, it’s only Tuesday), touché. #momwriter #writingcommunity
#sparksandscribbles
“Be bold and live a little! Enjoy the world!” Is my favorite line in my current wip, because we can all use a little encouragement from time to time. #yaromcom #writingcommunity

Thank you so much! 🙏🏼 I’ve been craving for one of those books too. Hope more comes out soon!
Hi! Not querying but I want to read a good wuxia book and wonder if you have any recs? 🙏🏼 thanks!
#sparksandscribbles
I love a good slow burn romance, a twisty mystery, and a nerve prickly horror. My favorite trope is probably opposite attracts, whether it be lovers, friendship, or just family dynamics. Some good yin and yang ☯️ is necessary for tension in all sorts of relationships! #writesky
