"Working with Erika on my novel—a story deeply rooted in my own life—was extraordinary. [She] helped me shape raw life experiences into a cohesive, compelling narrative with a stronger structure, deeper character arcs, and greater emotional resonance." -Susan Appel #booksky, #writingcommunity

Beautiful work by our friend and feature, @jlyndelia.bsky.social

I've decided to get back to the query trenches with my YA LGBTQIA++ mystery novel. In some ways, it's a shitty hard time to pitch a queer book. And also, someone out there needs to see a nonbinary hero of their own story. And so, I will persist. #authors #queerAuthors #queerYA

The #WIPSnips word for March 1st is “face” (Sorry for the late post. My scheduled post didn’t come through.) #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

No love for me from Fade In Shorts, but @finishlinescript.bsky.social quarters are coming up in two days. Hope to join some colleagues on that list. 🤞 #WriterLife #screensky #scriptsky #screenwriting #scriptwriting

The #WIPSnips word for March 1st is “face” #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts I had to really hunt through my WIP for a scene with the word "face" that was even remotely appropriate. Even this is still sexy, though SFW for the most part. A bit about kissing.

#WIPSnips Mesellah nodded as though she could not speak, her expression choked, fresh tears streaming down her face. “I not only found Lawcket, I spoke to him,” Aisferk continued, “and do you know what he told me?” Mesellah looked at him again. “That he wants us all to be happy,” she said in . . .

#vssromance #amwriting #writingcommunity This is an #adventure I didn't see coming. Every word and touch, all that he gives, is for me new and exciting. I can't stop smiling, aching to see what comes next. Is this love? This intimacy is brilliant and beautiful, my new reality, so I hope it's love.

#vssmystery #amwriting #writingcommunity Though we can see the evidence of the #curse on the bodies we can't figure out the why. Why a penny? Why at precisely midnight? Is there more to it? If they are wanting revenge then for what? I need information and I need it soon so I can go on the attack.

#vssFantasy #amwriting #writingcommunity That #fortune is all they should be applauded for. For them it is easy to grin and pretend that they have no connection to what their families do. They let fear and hatred rule, throwing away common sense for the mere hint of respect that might hide the lie.

#7syllablesentence #amwriting #writingcommunity #authorsofbluesky #womenauthors The #roar is loud inside me.

​A year ago, I was running on empty. This weekend was a quiet reminder of how much can change when you prioritize a better work-life balance. ☕️🌊 ​I finally have the energy to: 🏺 Develop my work in community & youth archaeology. ✍️ Focus on my writing. 🫂 Show up for my people.
