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

Two more chapters until Heated Rivalry!!! My mind is no longer sane. I’m writing HEA while shouting at my kids to do their remote learning 😂 gotta love being a mom writer after a snowstorm! #momwriter #amdrafting

Sending my new manuscript to Beta Readers. Big day. Excited. Tired. Happy.

As a therapist, many clients have asked me, “Is it ok I talk to myself?”

I tell them, “As long as a distinct other personality doesn’t talk to you back.”

Yet, in writing that’s exactly what happens with characters…hmmm

My writer's anthem is: Middle Fingers by MISSIO.
Why?
I write to subvert tropes, consumerism, sexism, and classism.
What's your writing/artist anthem?

Are authors ever really in competition?
If a reader reads a good book, it's probably the best incentive for them to consume another.

There’s simply not enough time in a 24-hr period to write, read, adult, relax, procrastinate, and sleep for 8 hours. I say we all vote for a 48-hr day in the next lifetime. #momwriter #writesky #writingcommunity #wip #reader

What song you like in K-pop demon hunter says a lot about your personality. My daughter likes Golden—she’s just coming into her shell and learning about life. My son likes Idol—he loves eye-catching gore. I love How it’s done—because…laundry. #momlife #kpopdemonhunter #momwriter

This is my emotional support poop, 💩 and my writing partner this morning. Because in chaos, we can all use some warm and stinkin’ love. Yes, it’s made out of my kids’ air-dry clay. No, I made it myself. And no, I will not apologize for my humor.

Mother’s Day gift

Happy Mother’s Day! My little boy sure knows his way to his mommy’s heart! (Full disclosure, I do not know how to play piano anymore. I just act like I do so when he’s practicing, I can tell him how hard I used to work on it.)

I was waking early to write but then my toddler started waking early so I stopped.
When I stopped is when my toddler also stopped…
So I woke early this week to write and GUESS WHAT 😭😭

I have to say, sometimes little life lessons find their way to you in the least expected medium. I’m pretty sure the creators of The Lego City animation are geniuses.
“The easy way is rarely the best way,” says Duke Detain of the Lego City Police Department.

This was an email response I got from my son’s teacher after my husband sent her a thank you email for her wonderful work. I’m not publishing anytime soon, but this little boy…I tell ya, he melts my heart.

I’m just a girl with too many dreams and not enough sleep.

Getting out in #nature gets the creative juices flowing (like the river, maybe😉).

How do you spark your #creativity when hitting a block?

Moms that also write books...how are you doing it??

My brain feels like jelly and my *me time* comes in 30 mins chunks where I have to choose to eat, to pee, to rest OR to get something done...

I should start keeping track of how many times I sit down to write and get interrupted by a child who should be sleeping.

At this point there has to be some statistical correlation going on.

Angled selfie photo that shows a woman from the shoulders down sat on a cream sofa. She's wearing a grey tshirt, blue skinny jeans, is holding a thermo cup and has an opened notebook on her lap with scribbled notes. On one side of her is a fluffy cat curled up asleep. On the other is a baby sprawled out asleep with blankets.

Miss "20min nap" has given me nearly an hour of writing time 🥹
That's nearly 1 poem done and 1 piece closer to book 2.

The #writing gods are looking down on me today. 💫Blessed💫

Slow and steady wins the race. Finally had a chance to sit down and write 1,296 words. That’s 1,296 words closer to the finish line.

Whenever I'm brainstorming a story, I run it by my toddler. He takes his involvement very seriously. I know it needs work when he laughs in my face.
