The perils of having your first release be a holiday novella: The KDP dashboard looking real quiet in May! 😂😂😂 Anyone on the hunt for a Hallmark Christmas movie in reverse to add to their summer TBR? #indieauthor #romancelandia #romancereaders

Devasted to report once again that if I want my book to be finished, I have to, in fact, write the book. Rude. #writingcommunity #romancewriter

Y'all, the messy middle they warn you about? I'm there. Send help! #writingcommunity

I'm teaching myself how to TikTok! (I sound positively geriatric rn.) Follow me over there with the same username. Here's to my new career as content creator. 😂😂😂 #writingcommunity #booktok #booksky

My flash romance piece Taking the Road Not Taken is out today in Micromance Magazine! open.substack.com/pub/microman...

What I should have done while waiting at guitar lessons: Write. What I did: Made book cover mockups for my series that's not even done yet. Writers, why are we like this? #writerproblems #writingcommunity #maybeshesbornwithitmaybeitsadhd

A @chipotle.bsky.social portion sizes rant... no, not that one. Why does my salad now come with like, 6 pieces of lettuce? Everything else is actually a fairly reasonable amount, but feels like the greens are being rationed! #lunchtime

The countdown is ON! One year until my debut novel, AMERICAN ROYALTY. Didn't expect my Senate-set love story to be on the verge of moving from romance to fantasy for featuring a functional US democracy. But if West Wing meets Taylor Swift will fuel your fight, add on GoodReads today! #romancelandia

Drafting has been WILD process for this book. It's my first time working from a beat sheet, so I'm writing scenes out of order. It's been a great way to get unblocked, but editing for continuity is going to be a bear. Are you a linear writer, or do you bop around? #writingcommunity

I just tried to explain to my eleven-year-old how a single Gap commercial revived swing music and dancing in the late 90s... I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm making it up.

I have hit the stage where I think I figured out all the plot holes, which means I'm writing up a storm and additonal ones shall emerge post-haste. But they're shiny new ones, so I've got that going for me and my dopamine levels. #writerproblems #writingcommunity

I am deeply back on my Hamilton bullshit, I fear.

Being a writer is having a heated debate (with yourself) about how tall to make your FMC. #writingcommunity #writerproblems

Forgot to give this a shout over here! Proud that my lil beach read YOURS TO KEEP was named a finalist in @getauthored.bsky.social inaugural romance competition, Pages of Passion! Excited to see where this one goes next! www.getauthored.com/blogs/announ...

I once again confront the reality that if I want my book to be done, I have to actually... write the book. #writerproblems ##writingcommunity

17 is hard, but when you're set to take over presidency from your father, survive a ☠️ attempt, are betrayed by the two you love & learn your role is to maintain peace by keeping 200yo lies & manipulating the public or start the biggest war in centuries, 17 is REALLY hard. #QuestPit #Q #YA #SF #LGBT

Crossed the 10k mark in Book 2 in my beach read series! Sure, it's in pieces, but it will all make a coherent narrative at some point... right? #lietome #writingcommunity

Something about firing up the laptop in a coffee shop hits different... makes me feel like a real writer! #writingcommunity #clichebuttrue

Signed up for my first in-person writers' conference! Guess I need to learn how to live pitch? #writingcommunity

Proud mama moment: I'm always on J, my 10 year old dancer, to know the history behind the styles she studies. In a convention class today: Teacher: Jazz doesn't have its roots in ballet. Her duo partner: It doesn't? J: It comes from African dance. Teacher: It's rooted in African dance. J: Boom.

Another reason this social media back and forth is exhausting for authors: Do I need to scrub references to TikTok out of my m/s like I did with Twitter last year? Or will this un-banning stick? Can we please keep a relevant platform until these books come out!?! #writingcommunity

I just went to a minor league hockey game that was the Railers vs the Nailers. It's like they're just teeing it up for hockey romance writers atp... #romancelandia #hockeyromance
