Last post for #authorapril25!

I'm so proud of my books. I'm not a best selling author (yet!) but I'll keep writing, publishing & hoping my words bring joy to others. I have 3 books (& counting) in the world & that's pretty damn good!

#AuthorApril25. Post something you're proud of. Don't quit (in white, Do it) The book market is beyond grim right now, but I'm still writing and publishing.

#AuthorApril25
I'm proud for not having given up. Not gonna lie--I came close. Why bother posting, advertising, etc. when the market is so overcrowded with good (and AI crap) books, and readers seem to be cutting way down on book purchases--(cont. in comments)

Photo of a teen boy with red hair and braces. Text: #AuthorApril25 Noahn's mom things he doesn't give much thought to the father who abandoned him, and he's okay with letting her believe that. She's got enough on her plate. Enter 2 men: a bookish stranger who really gets him, and his deadbeat dad, hoping for another chance.

#AuthorApril25
Single mom Daphne, FMC in my WIP, will do anything to protect her son Noah from heartbreak, which makes falling for a grumpy, reclusive author beyond foolish. But the heart wants what it wants, and Noah's heart craves a father figure.

#AuthorApril25
Between the saturated market, people (very understandably) cutting back on non-essential purchases, and a growing realization of how short and precious life really is, I've stepped off the grind train. How about you, #WritingCommunity ? Tortoise or hare?

Write every day or take time off? #authorapril25 #syllit Honestly, can't we have both? Back in the day, I used to write every day. Not only was it a pure addiction, but it was a necessity. Feeding 3 kids and coming home every day to see I had work to do was not a joke, it was a way of life. So I had to write every day. Now that I don't have that responsibility, but I still have that addiction, I still write that amount but not every day.

Today’s #authorapril25 why do you write? Because I love it! The creativity feeds my soul.

#authorapril25
I've spun stories in my head since I was little--complex plots with big casts and gorgeous scenery. They demand too much mental space until I write them down. Writing is also how I untangle my own thoughts & feelings--journaling is cheap therapy! What moves your pen?

Today's #authorapril25 is what's the weirdest thing you've researched for a book?
In a book that has never seen the light of day (and won't), I needed to know what raccons when fighting sounded like. The videos were quite entertaining.

#AuthorApril25 For Love, Legacy, and Little Green Aliens, I researched UFO believers, UFO sightings, and how to expel a ghost from a building. Fascinating! books2read.com/LoveLegacyLi...

I write one book at a time because my brain won't brain otherwise.

Image of a brain lighting up. Text: #AuthorApril25 Do you work on one project at a time or multiple? My poor brain only has room for one at a time.

#authorapril25
I'm juggling admin/promo tasks for several releases and upcoming live events, and it's frying my brain!
When I get new story ideas, I file them away to unclutter my mental space.

write alone or with people? ✍🏾📝💜 #authorapril25 #syllit Write alone or with people? I’ve always been a loner when I write, and even in sprints, I’m more excited to get to muting the mic and clicking away on the keyboard. I love that I can be with a crowd and dive into my own room inside of my head, writing away, deep within my imagination and feeling the euphoria of creativity. What about you?

WIP status… #LetMeLoveYou #authorapril25 #syllit Pray for me I'm still struggling at the time of this writing on this, but at least I'm on the epilogue and that's good. I'm telling myself it doesn't have to be perfect now. I have to tell myself that or I'll stay stagnant. I thank my #Sneakreaders for staying by me and I do hope your prayers reach me and my head because I keep going there and sometimes I can't get out of it. How's your current work in progress going?

#AuthorApril25 Status Update Back from vacation, where we had no internet and I actually made good progress in the few hours I spend writing. Is the universe trying to tell me something? Image of a turtle looking thoughtful.

#AuthorApril25
Funny how well I can concentrate when the temptation to check email/SM/book sales/random websites is removed!
Did you have a productive writing week--or whatever creative activity brings you joy?
#WritingCommunity #RomanceAuthor #WritingLife

Happy Friday #authorapril25! I definitely give myself breaks between my books. I need a little pause to refill the creativity well and relax.

What about you?

What’s the weirdest place you’ve written? ✍🏾🥹 #authorapril25 #syllit A funeral & A strip joint A funeral... I was in a muse inspired braingasm when my Uncle passed away and I couldn't stop writing to save my life. I brought a small notebook, sat in the back and even though my sister nudged me in the ribs repeatedly, I put words on paper. Yes, it was wrong as two left shoes, but as I said, I couldn't stop.
