Failing at the thing is better than not trying at all.

Advice needed✨ My book has a friend group of MCs between ages 14-16. It’s an adventure style urban fantasy. My characters think and act their age, so not an immature voice but not adult. No romance, but there’s banter and light flirting. It’s friend centered. Should it be considered MG or YA?

I’ve gotten to the point where I honestly love making these little videos.

I’m almost ready to chop and donate my hair.. I’ve been considering Wigs For Kids but if anyone works with another charity that might be a better fit I’m open to suggestions!

A spider just lowered itself out of my hair and dangled in front of my eyes.

My Guinea pig thinks we have beef but really it’s just tofu. ✨ treats were given after this encounter though because I am afraid of her it is true.

My WIP is a F and SF blend which follows a group of friends trying to reunite across the galaxy. In our world changelings and fae exist, but they are really aliens in disguise, conducting their own version of a foreign exchange program. The characters are ND and DIS by human standards. #DVparty

Not all who wander are lost… #books

I swear I was shoved by a ghost near the fireplace at Lafitte’s in New Orleans last night. ( I don’t drink before you ask.) It was surreal. #nola #ghosts

When you’re in New Orleans and you don’t drink, you improvise. ✨ 🫖 #nola

I always make a video for my niece and nephew from my Guinea pigs for their birthdays.. it’s been a fan favorite for a few years. Hoping they don’t age out anytime soon! They grow up too quickly!

A little nod to Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt in chapter 15 of The Society of Curse Breakers, scene set in Bonaventure Cemetery, Savannah Georgia. Remember to cast magic on the right side of midnight. #urbanfantasy #amquerying #magic

Happy Saturday! #bluesky #saturday #swamp

I’m going to New Orleans for the first time in years for fun and to do some research for a book. Any suggestions on the best weird and unique things to see? #neworleans #nola #travel #writer

Alice Ashwood and the quest to pass her creative writing class. She’s open to notes, writing may be more difficult than curse breaking after all. From The Society of Curse Breakers #UnhingedPit #F #MG #YA #Q #amquerying #mgfantasy

Former supernatural-obsessed teen, Brandy, hardly minds that her husband is a werewolf...until bodies start showing up dead on their property on full moons. Has her partner lost control? And should true love really require this much bleach? #A #T #Q #UnhingedPit

Cryptids are tricky especially when they’re hungry… follow Alice’s advice and you’ll be just fine.. after all curse breakers and cryptids go together like peanut butter and lasagna. #cryptids #magic #mgfantasy #bluecrew #bluesky #amquerying #F #MG #Q #UnhingedPit
