I just discovered Brené Brown and I feel so enlightened and empowered. If anyone needs some word of encouragement, especially if you’re a writer putting yourself out there, check out Daring Greatly! #brenebrown #booksky #bookrec #books #writingcommunity #writesky

You know you're old when your daughter knows who the new Sexiest Man Alive is and you don't... #momlife

This book tackled difficult subjects with cackle-worthy humor and heart-warming emotions. If you’re looking for an unapologetically honest memoir that can open your eyes to a slice of a minority’s life, give this book a try. #memoir #bookreview #CurtisChin #booksky #books medium.com/hooked-on-bo...

Is anyone else having problems with the @libbyapp.com today? My shelf refuses to sync :(

Hi #writevember! I’m Ceci, a YA romcom writer, and I plan to continue drafting my current wip of a reverse gender modern take of Pride and Prejudice set in a Chinese restaurant. My goal is to write consistently and not burn myself out. It’s nice to meet you! #writesky #writingcommunity #ya #kidlit

When you husband says he wants to try and cut his own hair, then calls your name two minutes in for help… #marriedlife #realliferomcom

Novel November always sounded like a high pressure battle to me, but I also have FOMO, so I always sign up. This year I want to at least try to write consistently, but won’t burn myself out by comparing my word count to others. What’s your goal for November? #writesky #writingcommunity #writers

And I’m the idiot who can’t even name the show right…Nobody Wants THIS! THIS! Not it, THIS! Ughhhhh! #nobodywantsthis

#dailymiracle Husband: I’d rate myself at a six. Me: C’mon, you’re better than a six. Husband: what about you? How would you rate yourself? Me: maybe a seven? Husband: Do NOT insult my goddess! Me, died while cackling. #greenflag #marriedlife #realliferomcom

Just finished watching S2 of Nobody Wants It, and I already crave for more!!!!! How can they end the season like that?!!! I need so much more closure! Ugh!😩😩 #nobodywantsit #romcom

Trying out “The Surrender Experiment” by Michael Singer, and it’s been a soothing and mind-opening read that calmed my anxiety. If anyone is in the same boat and looking for help, give it a try! Sometimes a good book that speaks to you is better than therapy! #booksky #mentalhealth #writingcommunity

At Uno, I sang when my daughter was forced to draw two cards from my play, “Hush little baby don’t you cry.” And she follows with, “Mama’s gonna kill some random guy.” Touché. #momlife

Whenever anxiety sneaks in, I remind myself of what I have accomplished already and why I wanted to do this in the first place. Focus on the present. Time is just another dimension. And I’m just a 3D creature trapped in it. #writesky #writingcommunity

Have you ever sobbed while reading a book? I didn’t know that was humanly possible until today. Review to come, but I’m too much of an emotional mess to put my love in words right now. Hands down the best book I’ve read in 2025. #atmosphere #taylorjenkinsreid #booksky #reader #book

Waking up from a dream at the crack of dawn then squinting at the bright screen of a phone to add yet another new idea to the ever growing list…times like this makes me believe writing helps me thrive. If it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. Time is just another dimension. #writesky #kidlit

This book is a phenomenal underdog story that’s packed with emotional punches. If you love to read something with fantastic pacing, a strong female protagonist, and a journey of self-salvation, give this book a try. #yacontemporary #booksky #bookreview #writingcommunity medium.com/story-lamp-r...

Reading Atmosphere, and 50% through, I am not okay…my heart and soul are not strong enough for this book… #booksky #atmosphere

My son found a gray hair on my head today. Son: Mommy, please don't die. Me: I'm not dying. I'm just getting older. Son: Okay, good, because I will cry to death if you die. Me: Aw, don't do that. Son: And if Daddy dies, I will just cry a little bit. Husband: Hey... Me...LMAO. #momlife #dailymiracle

You never know when you’d be inspired for a new idea, or a new character. Like today I ran across this photo, and I’d love to write a character one day with this vibe. If you know books with this kind of characters, hit me up too. I’d love to read it 😂 #writingcommunity #booksky

Family devouring a box of Oreo ice cream cone. Me: kids, don’t eat on the carpet. You’ll spill crumbs! Daughter: how come you get to eat on the carpet? Me: because mommy never spills. *Then proceed to spill a chunk of chocolate on the carpet. Well-played, Karma. Well-played. #momlife

Such an endorphin hit when I write a badass character doing a kickass thing. Love my character. And love that about writing. #writingcommunity #yaromcom #kidlit

Remember this post? @olivieblake.bsky.social's new book is a rare jewel—niche, dark, hilarious. If you like a strong, character-driven narrative that can make you cackle, nod along, and have an existential crisis, you won't be disappointed. #booksky #bookrecs #bookreview medium.com/hooked-on-bo...

What is love? Love is me using my husband's slipper to kill a spider and screaming at the same time, then wiping the wall free of spider guts because he's a neat freak, but leaving the body on the bottom of his shoe so he can compliment me on being brave when he's not here. #realliferomcomvibes

It's hard to have faith in humanity sometimes. No, I won't smile a little more. No, I won't let it go without a fight. In chaos, both insanity and heroes will rise. It's too early to tell which one I want to be.

Never doubt your dreams just because other people call them negative adjectives. They're not too childish, too nerdy, or too unreasonable. Believe in them. And be that cheerleader for yourself. #kidlitchat #kidlit #YAromcom #YA

OMG OMG! A little fan girl moment? Ken Jaworowski liked my book review of his book! Baaaaahllistic! #books #booksky #bookreview #bookrecs #crimethriller #writingcommunity

Last ep of TSITP. It’s been a real teacup ride. The fun, the nostalgia, the adrenaline, the laughs, and the nauseating 😂 my favorite line is still “Who TF is Lacie Barone?” #TSITP #JennyHan #YAromance

So many ways! Read, watch a show, stare at my laptop for three hours straight, spiral into a mental breakdown where I doubt my existence, and snuggle in bed with a cup of hot tea. Best of all? Dream outing with my characters. Only if they’d visit more often. #kidlitchat #yaromcom #writingcommunity

This book is melancholic with a dash of dark humor and a cast of fantastic yet ordinary characters. #bookreview #bookrecs #booksky #readers #KenJaworowski #writingcommunity #crimefiction medium.com/hooked-on-bo...

Protecting my heart cautiously as I read this arc and too scared to claim it might be my favorite book this year because I’m only 40% in. Cross my fingers it’ll deliver…if it did, I’ll be excited to share the book review in a month! #booksky #book #arcreader #bookreviewer

Love how ideas always come to me when I’m trying to sleep… #writingcommunity #writesky #kidlit #yaromcom

Sometimes, burying my head in fiction is the only way I can survive reality.

Definitely first person. I prefer reading that as well. Just feels so much closer than a closed third. #kidlitchat

This book is the perfect balance of humor, drama, immaturity, and swoony romance. The ’90s romcom nostalgia might just draw a smile out of you. #lynnpainter #yaromcom #bookreviewer #booksky #bookrec #kidlit #yaromance #books #reader medium.com/story-lamp-r...

I finally set up an email list. If you'd like to hear about any updates on my writing/reading journey, please consider subscribing: creepingbetweenthemargins.kit.com I promise no spamming in your inbox 😁. Thank you! #writingcommunity #writesky #momwriter #bookreviewer #blogger

Been drafting my new YA rom-coms that’s a contemporary high school role reversal of Pride and Prejudice with a dash of Asian culture. About 25k into it and feeling great! #kidlitchat #kidlit #yaromcom #yaromance #writesky #writingcommunity

Nothing Like the Movies is even better than the first one! Saluting to Lynn Painter for taking me out of my reading slump and putting a smile on my face. #yaromcom #kidlit #readsky #booksky #lynnpainter

Eavesdropping on people’s conversations is the most fun I have at work. Every time my colleagues watch me smile quietly, they’d say, “You’re going to write about this, aren’t you?” I just shrug and look at them, like “duh, go on please.” #writingcommunity #writesky #writeratwork #writerlife

This is a YA contemporary fiction that stayed with me for a long time. It is a beautiful book, from its gorgeous cover to its courageous story. I can’t recommend it enough. #bookreview #bookrecoomendation #readsky #books #reader #YA #kidlit #JoannaHo #readers medium.com/hooked-on-bo...

Well, I guess there goes that dream 😂 #writingcommunity #writesky

From two abandoned, pantsed manuscripts, I learned that I needed more planning. It felt right, though sad, to leave them, because I knew it wasn’t going to work. Trial and error, never failure, only lessons. Since then, I started outlining, and it solved many of my problems. #kidlitchat #writesky

Procrastinated all morning and wrote 1000 words in one hour before my kids got off the school bus. I think I can safely call myself a stress writer now. #writingcommunity #writer #writesky

If you didn't sign up for the worldshift sessions but want fantastic advice on writing a compelling protagonist, here's what I learned from the creator of DIYMFA. #writingcommunity #writesky #writingadvice #writershelpwriters diymfa.com/podcast/epis...

At work, a system outage was piling up our work. I was livid. My colleague came over, balled up her hand before me like she was holding up a mic, and said, "Ceci, I'm preaching to the choir." With reflex, I said, "Can I get the mic a little higher?" My mood was instantly better. #kpopdemonhunter

I choose to write YA, because high school was a particularly challenging time period for me. I want my stories to be a safe and healing place for other teens or teens at heart, so that they know they weren’t alone. #kidlitchat #yaromcom #kidlit #writingcommunity #writesky

That feeling you get when someone texted you, “I knew there was something wrong with my story and it’s so easy to see now after reading your feedback!” Proud to be a good beta reader! #writingcommunity #PBlover #writershelpwriters #kidlit

There’s simply not enough time in a 24-hr period to write, read, adult, relax, procrastinate, and sleep for 8 hours. I say we all vote for a 48-hr day in the next lifetime. #momwriter #writesky #writingcommunity #wip #reader

What song you like in K-pop demon hunter says a lot about your personality. My daughter likes Golden—she’s just coming into her shell and learning about life. My son likes Idol—he loves eye-catching gore. I love How it’s done—because…laundry. #momlife #kpopdemonhunter #momwriter

Quote I learned today from a comedian (paraphrasing): “We are always afraid of losing something we have achieved. But in reality, we are not losing. We’re just afraid we’re not capable of achieving it again.”
