Tuesday 31 March 2026: March wrap-up! March seems to have flown by in a blur. I blinked, and here we are at the end of the first quarter of 2026. I made some big decisions at the end of last month, such as bowing out of the 12 stories in 12 months challenge and putting the newsletter and the bookazine into mothballs. But for some reason, I didn’t schedule in that bookazine and I clean forgot all about it.

That moment when your character surprises you by doing something completely different than planned... and it's actually better than your original idea.

Anyone else have their characters stage rebellions mid-scene? 📝✨

Headed to see Project Hail Mary in theaters tonight. I don't pay much attention to reviews, but if this is anything like the movie adaptation of The Martian, also by Andy Weir, I know I'll enjoy it. #theaters #ProjectHailMary #adaptations #AndyWeir #BooktoFilm #writinglife #SFFwriter

Really want to tell my editor that we have had a short story accepted, but he is currently indisposed 😴🐈

Emojis in texts and comments can take the place of facial expressions. They often provide the touch you need to make a point.

How Starting a Podcast Saved My Writing Life - Women Writers, Women's Books By Eva Langston A few years after my MFA graduation, a few of my former classmates got book deals. I was excited for them (of course I was!), but I was also filled with fear and shame. I felt like I w...

🐉 MONDAY: Wyrm Workbench- The Week the Words Stayed Still The word count didn’t move this week. But something else did. Between flare days, 5am thoughts, and survival mode, this is what writing looks like when your body rewrites the rules- and why it still counts.

The word count didn’t move.
But I’m still here. Still writing. Still trying.

Sometimes survival is the work. 🐾💜

So, Who Was Martha Washington, the person and first First Lady? #American #Revolution #historical #fiction #WritersLife #author #histfic #books #booksky #bookthreads #bookstagram #writinglife #IndiePub To answer the question, who was Martha Washington, took me many years of research and travel to fully comprehend. Only two biographies exist about her life, one of which contained some questionable claims about her life and the people in it. Claims that the Rockefeller Library in Williamsburg debunked, by the way. I read everything I could find about her specifically. That included a collection of her extant correspondence bound into one good sized book. I love that I could read her actual words, what she was concerned about, who she wrote to and who wrote to her, etc.

‘What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet’

So says Juliet in Act II, Scene ii, of William Shakespeare’s tragedy, Romeo and Juliet.
