For my final writing session of #NaNoMyWay, I found it fitting to work on the ending of A Bullet Named Love. It's bittersweet to write about yourself, especially when feedback can point out what even the most self-aware can miss! 😉
Day 31 - 2,067 words added. Goodbye for now, #NaNoMyWay 🫡
#BookSky
#5amWritersClub Today is the last day of #NaNoMyWay. I'm proud to reveal during the month of March, I wrote over 50K words across 7 different manuscripts ~ I reached my goal!
This proves writing daily increases productivity. Can't wait to do this again soon! 💯

#5amWritersClub
With #NaNoMyWay I was determined to finish a WIP but with the way my brain is set up, it wasn't possible
It's the second to last day & I got so much done
Day 30 - 1,236 words added to You're All I Ever Think About
493 words added to Evan & The Pirates of Shell Island
#5amWritersClub
#NaNoMyWay
296 words added to a new untitled MG manuscript
Taking it slow so lupus doesn't raise its nasty head again, so I am keeping posts shorter
I 💓 Birmingham #5amWritersCub & everyone I met at the #SCBWI conference, but this #CrazyCatLady misses her Pebbles & Bam Bam!
After being hospitalized since 3/13 then jetting here, all I want is for the 4 of us to cuddle & watch The Flintstones! 😉
Day 28 of #NaNoMyWay - 1,422 words added to MACULA
#5amWritersClub
I'm getting this out early for many reasons
This will serve as my Day 27 #NaNoMyWay post. I intentionally wrote 91 words, today would've been my Grandma Pearl's 91st birthday
I pitch KDWTM in the morning at the #SCBWI conference in Birmingham
The concept is from grief losing her
#5amWritersClub
Don't have my laptop with me, but I'm super proud of Day 26's numbers for #NaNoMyWay
I added 843 words to my memoir, I Wasn't Built To Break and 744 words to MACULA
Ugh...my name change throws everything off. Time to beg my graphic designer for a discount for changes
#AmWriting
#5amWritersClub, I was down bad with a life-ending lupus flare, but I'm back & feeling amazing
I'm in bed with Pebbles & Bam Bam cuddling & writing; they missed me. Hubby saw me daily they just got my scent &
confusion
#NaNoMyWay Day 24 & Day 25
#AmWriting #Memoir #LupusWarrior #KidLit #BookSky
Day 22 & Day 23 of #NaNoMyWay
I now see my hospitalization as a set-back, preparing me for an eventual come-up. It's all about reframing your thinking.... can you tell I see a therapist & keep my head in a bible? 👀💯
You can tell I'm feeling better, wrote in 2 different books
#LupusWarrior #BookSky
Days 20 & 21 of #NaNoMyWay
Right now, it looks like being hospitalized is going to take me away from reaching my goal of 50K words for March
BUT the real goal is being alive to see another day. I also think slowing down to better my health while still not breaking my writing streak is the real win
Days 18 & 19 of #NaNoMyWay while being hospitalized with a terrible lupus flare!
Every little bit is progress! All that matters is I continued my writing streak!
#LupusWarrior #BookSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #KidLit #SCBWI
Days 16 & 17 of #NaNoMyWay
I am super excited I wrote something while hospitalized. In grad school, my teacher asked us how to eat an elephant. We all sat dumfounded until he explained that you eat an elephant bit by bit. It all made so much sense and then & it soon became my personal mantra! 💯🥰
Day 14 & Day 15 numbers for #NaNoMyWay
Both during my hospital stay hence the shorter numbers, my nurses were sweet & allowed write when my numbers deeded it okay.
Lupus is no joke, this hospital stay rocked my entire world!
#BookSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #LupusWarrior
I cannot be any prouder of myself, I didn't have to, but I continued my writing streak from Christmas Eve. I go insane when I don't write
Here's the numbers from day 13 of #NaNoMyWay, the day I was admitted into the 1st hospital
#LupusWarrior #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #KidLit #SCBWI #AmQuerying
A photo of 3 hospital wristbands after I got admitted then bounced around since 3/13. Not 100% but feeling worlds better
BlueSky, ya girl Chrissy was down bad, like down for the count type bad, worse lupus flare of my life. At times my faith wavered & I wasn't sure I'd pull through.
Thank the Lord above for my turnaround. I have #NaNoMyWay updates. Some days I didn't write much, but every little bit is progress! 😭💪🏾💯👊🏾
Was gonna be in the studio with my fave in days #5amWritersClub, I must've been a good girl cuz St. Nick dropped a gem with that one. But books supersede music on the priority scale
DELTA really does stand for Don't Ever Leave The Airport, will show my view soon
Day 11 #NaNoMyWay 1,232 words added
BlueSky
Y'all already know Chrissy be doing way too much. I must be patient with myself
I can't wait until #SCBWI conference in about 2 weeks. So much in the works. Keep your 👀 locked here
So, I revised MACULA a bit, well more than a bit! 😜
Day 10 of #NaNoMyWay I added 6,154 words
Let's write! 😘
Managed to get over 650 words in a single WIP today, and am still feeling a high from that! #NaNoMyWay
Very tough day for me physically
But I just managed to eek this in before midnight & not my streak
1,435 words written Day 9 of #NaNoMyWay
13,624 total words written for Alex & Bryn Race The Clock
Off to do more writing sprints
#LetsWrite
Good Afternoon, BlueSky
A chick was 👻 all day, did you miss me?
Well, I would've missed each & every last one if you if I could see
Lupus sucks, left eye already dark
Right eye went too
Being chronically ill sucks, one sec I'm up then I'm 🙃
No worries, I always land somewhere
#NaNoMyWay @11pm
Why am I reading #MeetTheEditor for #RevPit? I'm not gonna enter again am I? 👀
There's still time to tweak my adult, MG or YA WIPs
I'm thinking MACULA or KDWTM
Sike! I'm a 2022 #RevPit winner! Using #NaNoMyWay to revise PAFAJAD!
Jokes aside EVERY writer should enter. That community is effin nice!
I will need time to adjust to the time change, my body really does wake up naturally for #5amWritersClub
Got back to ATL last night, miss my Uncle Roland already. So does Pebbles, that chick stay up in a man's face. I wonder where she learned that from? 😉
Wrote 2,670 words for Day 8 of #NaNoMyWay!
Please write at your own pace & don't compare numbers
#NaNoMyWay isn't about showboating, it's about ME fast drafting WIPs & others joining
I'm a journalist. I trained to write/edit fast to meet hard pub deadlines when magazines & newspapers had to be at the printer on time or else delivery bombed
This is a follow up video, Part II of recent post for #Caturday #NaNoMyWay
Watch in real time as I go from confident, sassy & assertive & devolve into an irrationally angry & overly emotional crazy AF #Cat lady as my usual smart hubby let HIS CAT PEBBLES, not my precious Bam Bam outside unleashed 👀
#Caturday #NaNoMyWay
Some of you saw my previous post where I served my Army vet & mom's oldest bro breakfast in bed
What you didn't see is the chaos behind the scenes detailed in this video
Men just yeet their kids around & we moms don't like that ISH regardless if my kiddos have fur!
#CatMom 😱😲
#5amWritersClub brace yourselves
Day 7 of #NaNoMyWay I clocked in at 8,012 words
I used mostly text-to-speech to keep up with all that Uncle Roland said & I did even more while he slept. He tied together many missing pieces of my life & I'm grateful for him
19,880 total words written for March! 😮
I'm also up writing for #5amWritersClub & #NaNoMyWay
I'm super proud of myself. I've been back to writing every day since Christmas Eve 2025
I know my purpose, I get back up whenever I fall, I speak life to all I meet regardless of where they are in life & I live in my truth in all that I do! 😉😘🙏🏾💯
We're getting so close, I can feel it. I am doing WHATEVER it takes for this to be my debut!
The concept for this book manifested as I wrestled with grief over my maternal grandmother, Pearl, my best friend & Ma
Uncle Roland's mom

Poor Carolina's Twisted curse never got a proper lift off...her future is untold 😉
