The glamour life of a revising writer 😂

So excited to be working with @sweetcherrypub.bsky.social sweetcherrypublishing.com/sweet-cherry... #skywriters #amwriting #YA #writers #youngadult

First draft of book 2 done! #amwriting #skywriters #YA

I have retired and am settling into my new role as a Proper Old Woman Who Writes Things. :P I'm going to open mics, starting part-time with the local library, and less than a year from my debut novel. All is good in my hood.

I loved writing this.

Spent dinner discussing the latest chapter of my WIP. I love my family. #amwriting #YA #skywriters

This has not aged well ... but I am further along! #writingcommunity #amwriting

This weekend: pedicure. New seltzer flavor. Rearranged some chapters. 📚 #writingcommunity #amwriting #skywriters #YA

Wrote some words today. How about you guys? #writingcommunity #amwriting #skywriters #YA

Getting ready for a fabulous weekend. #hobartfestival #writingcommunity #amwriting

This is my TBR jar. When I finish a book, I’m going to pull a title for the next read. Lots of history and baseball, but a couple of novels. If you are the person I stole this from I thank you. 😘 #writingcommunity #YA #TBR #writersarereaders

Very exciting news in my little corner of the world - the content edits, line edits, and copy edits on my debut novel are done!! It's still a year away, but it's been a year of tweaking too. I can't wait to share it. <3 #amwriting #amediting #writingcommunity #blindspot #ya

I have seen this hint for years, but never tried it until today. #skywriters, I am a fool. SO helpful. #amwriting #writinglife #ya #writer

Finally had a minute to update my website and share this project. #writingcommunity #writing #skywriters #writersofbluesky #poets

This story was a thrill to write! #writingcommunity #journalism #1775

My two favorite things, words and baseball. So happy to have won a spot in the National Baseball Poetry Festival. #writingcommunity #poetry #baseball

I'm at my regular Tuesday #writing group with the Worcester Writers' Collective, and I just figured out the last line of my WIP. And it's perfect. And I want to yell about it but it's quiet writing time so I'm telling my #writingcommunity instead. <3 #amwriting #YA

t’s been a busy few weeks. I’m so happy right now. ⚾️ #LGRS

The minutia of line edits. I love it, though. How’s your Saturday, #writingcommunity? #amediting #YA #skywriters

Love is always something to celebrate! concordbridge.org/index.php/20...

I love writing about history. I'm so lucky to live in Massachusetts (for many, many reasons.) concordbridge.org/index.php/20...

That Siri glowing border is annoying. #getoffmylawn

What a pleasure it was to speak with @nathanhmcclain.bsky.social. #writingcommunity #poetry #journalism

My colleague @dakotaantelman.bsky.social has written this moving story. Give it a read — and if you are in or near Concord, Massachusetts, keep an eye out for Kiki. #writingcommunity #journalism #skywriters

The Morgan Library and Museum. What an incredible, inspirational place. #writingcommunity #skywriters #booksky

An excellent point.

Happy Monday, #skywriters. #writingcommunity #amwriting #writinglife

A very lazy coworker. #writingcommunity #writinglife #WFH

How I spent yesterday ❤️ #writingcommunity #journalism #MLK

Walden Pond Visitors Center hosted its 31st annual program on “Civil Disobedience,” a discussion about Martin Luther King’s legacy and how Henry David Thoreau’s writing influenced him. #MLKDay concordbridge.org/index.php/20...

This is a great starter pack for small press / indie authors. go.bsky.app/EmFocFk

I meet the coolest people at my day job! #writingcommunity #journalism #nonprofitnews

#WritingCommunity: I wrote the first 50K of my WIP for NaNoWriMo in 2023, and have only added a few thousand words since. Next month is going to be #FinishItFebruary. Join me if you like! I function pretty well with a deadline. Maybe you do, too. #skywriters #writinglife #amwriting #WIP #YA

I had the opportunity to write this poem inspired by this amazing photo by Mari Saxon. The exhibit is at #ArtsWorcester beginning Jan. 17 #writingcommunity #poetry #skywriters #writing #art #photography #marisaxon #worcesterwriterscollective

Since my 2025 is to finish my TBR list, I didn't buy anything at the bookstore. But I did scope out my spot. #writingcommunity #debutauthor #blindspot #youngadult #amediting #skywriters

Such a long shot but … I discovered #manacled last weekend and read to chapter 32. This morning it disappeared. 😭 I realized why … does anyone have a downloaded copy they’d be willing to share? 🙏 #Fanfiction #dramione #harrypotter #draco #hermoine

My 2024 reads :) #writingcommunity #skywriters #skyreaders

Looking forward to a good year, a day at a time. (Metallica is my WIP) #writingcommunity #skywriters #writers #amwriting #HNY

This was sweet to write.

Ha! Merry Christmas #skywriters! #writingcommunity #writinglife

Writing advice forward to me from my daughter 😂. #writingcommunity #writersblock #skywriters

Goodnight #skywriters

Color coding my draft -- Most of those red lines say things like, "Should this go at the end?" "Would she actually say this? #amwriting #writingcommunity #amdrafting #aminmyhappyplace

OK, not #writing, but these guys are my favorites. #toomuch #heatmiser #snowmiser #writingcommunity
