"I will scoot up the stairs one at a time on my ass if I have to rather than having my mom come up to take care of me for a grade one sprained ankle, but saying that aloud would hurt her feelings."

Got the first readable draft of two chapters done tonight and crossed 50k words on this WIP! There are more words in brain dump drafts I need to look at but I’m excited this thing is taking more shape! #amwriting

“We’re already three weeks into the season but it feels just as great every time I throw on my jersey - my fourth year wearing number nineteen - and get out to the field.”

Writing stories with age appropriate, true to life stakes!

Not me revising a whole chapter before finishing the second half of a book 🙈 but when the feedback sparks ideas that flow, you gotta run with it #amwriting

Page 36 for me! I have alpha reader feedback in for the first half of the book and I want to work on revisions but I need to finish this thing first!

A third one I’ve read! Plus I got to dig into the story and process with Sage.

Another one I’ve been lucky enough to read!

I’ve read this one and it’s a ton of fun!

AT YOUR PACE When college baseball player Emerson’s best friend learns of his new crush, she sets a deadline for him to make a move before she plays wingwoman. Can Emerson overcome what’s been keeping him single and make space in his life for a girl just as dedicated as him? #BluePit📖 #Q #NA #R

Ok I scrolled on my author instagram and learned of a new release and immediately pre-ordered it, which is fine, but I also have a $700 car maintenance bill to pay in an hour, committed to going to a broadway show AND have purse repair to pay for today too. I need to slow down lol

For pitch and hype events - not actually querying - I like a summary of the plot and premise more so than “[title] meets [title]” because if someone hasn’t consumed one or both of those pieces of media then it falls totally flat. Just a personal preference thing though!

I went to the Friends of the Library annual meeting and we scanned leftover used donated books for resale. It took 2 people 2 hours and we only found like 40 books worth anything worth like $50 max (and I still have to ship them off) but yay for fundraising and making sure books don’t go to waste!

Took my car to the mechanic. Just noticed the mechanic lobby area has the same tile flooring as my parents’ house did on the other side of the country, which is also the same as the corner deli in our town. Small world

I made a third mood board for this WIP and this one has the most photos and no duplicates from the other two, so it took longer than it should have to make. Alas, here is some visual inspo for my YA sports romance sequel, "Where We Land" which I am currently writing!

I've been writing as long as I can remember because I just love yapping. Now as a romance writer, it's a way for me to explore deeper themes while still sharing uplifting stories that resonate because they are grounded in reality. It's also a way to both challenge and validate perspectives :)

I am beyond excited to reveal the cover for THE DEVOURING, my cosmic horror/revenge thriller. If you like married villain protagonists, John Wick-style action, and occult conspiracies, you will love this book. Preorder today! books2read.com/u/mvDRWX #WritingCommunity #booksky 💙📚

I am feeling existential about the day job and the state of my sequel WIP (reckoning with me being not nearly as done as I thought I was, but also trying to remember that’s fine???) but I made some progress on the next scene. Also my dentist appointment went well today. Car battery died though.

I love a grumpy man melting over time through the power of love. I’m such a sucker for it

I haven't written much on the sequel in the last few days because I have been trying to get through Alchemised plus watching Stranger Things with my husband and I'm back to work, but an irl bestie got my next batch of pages for her to alpha read and I will be reinvigorated with her feedback!

Mind dumping a draft into my doc on my phone and it autocorrected “white people” to “weird people” Considering I’m writing a scene about changing last names after marriage and that’s something I, a white people, didn’t do because I think it’s weird… ok phone you see me

If you've enjoyed the clips of @sagetgreene.bsky.social discussing the novella "Touched" I have good news for you - the whole interview is now available to watch! Tune in for Sage's awesome perspective: youtu.be/0MiIhAIgVck (I'll learn more about production value later over time 😅)

What's awesome about self-publishing s the creative freedom to write as short or long of a piece as the story calls needs. Here, @sagetgreene.bsky.social digs into the thought process behind the 170-page "Touched" novella. #novellas #fantasynovellas #romancenovellas #romantasynovellas

Had such a fun time interviewing @rwmeadors.bsky.social today! Can’t wait to edit the full video and start sharing clips!

Probably getting my bachelor's degree in English. In addition to creative writing classes, I published a poem or two in our school's literary journal, a guest opinion piece in the school newspaper, and took on micro-copywriting gigs for Staples product descriptions.

Work's done for the long weekend, got some fun scene ideas worked in, and the Friends of the Library said we can look into doing a thriftbooks buyback program with all the used books that didn't sell during 2 book sales! Going to work out then have a margarita to close out 2025.

I am only at page 147 (8.5x11 double spaced) in my WIP - so close! Here is one from page 4: "Lucky for you, your grandma knows how to make really great chicken." #amwriting

I'm going to hurt my own feelings and fire off a few queries!!! #amquerying

I wrote my first novel and half the sequel this year with no plans - just got bored with free time once grad school was done. I’m so much more satisfied and proud of it than I thought it would be. I can’t wait to share my story more broadly soon!

Second chance lovers where they meet again a little more experienced but familiar with one another :)

750 words on a lunch break for a scene I had the idea for today! Not bad!

I am less stressed on word count, about 42k words sent to alpha readers now! I also reviewed the plot points for the second half and got some new ideas and it's falling in to place. Now I just need to sit down and draft some of these new ideas! #amwriting

My latest reel on IG surpassed 1,000 views and gained me a new follower! First to break that view mark and I'm really excited. (It's almost like I make a living marketing, ha.) If you want to talk about literally anything bookish for video content hit me up lol

Fun fun I love new years planning stuff

My husband and I had a nice trip to Mystic CT/Westerly RI despite winter storm Abraham. Naturally we stopped at a pretty, historic library as a tourist spot :)

Foreplay here but the main point is communication as two people figure out what they want!

Relationships that move crazy fast and no one around them calls them out There’s one series of interconnected standalones where these mid 20s characters all get engaged in 1 year and I only ever see that in deeply religious couples irl and these characters are not

@sagetgreene.bsky.social breaks down the two versions of "Touched" - one open door, one closed door. I thought this was really novel and made the story more accessible regardless of one's preference for #spicy content. #opendoorromance #closeddoorromance #closeddoorfantasy

I got a fun project done at work, went to the gym, read, beta read, had a margarita, wrote 778 words tonight (biggest chunk in a while), showered, and now it’s time to check out what Heated Rivalry is all about. Perfect night before Christmas Eve. #amwriting

Describe your WIP in a single word or emoji: ⚾️

Stone…d for vibes today 🤣 #wipsnips

Past tense is the party scene from novel one and first one I wrote, present tense shorter doc I edited this morning from the sequel WIP! Both scenes with his best friend :)

New comments from @incendiarysolution.bsky.social got me rethinking chapters and solving word count problems!!! Can’t wait for the long holiday weekend so I have time to dig in to these and the next big chunk of chapters!

I explained the plot of my WIP and book 3 to my husband across dinner and he said “wow you hate [love interest], she could [plot spoiler] and yet you won’t. But you could make it happen!” He also asked if the MC is circumcised. Asking the hard hitting questions.

I got a chapter drafted that I was struggling with even after getting sidetracked with eggnog ice cream and joining class action lawsuits. I'm a little behind on word count for the story pacing in comparison to book 1, but I think that gives me room to flesh out the earlier chapters! #amwriting

If you're looking for a cozy, approachable fantasy read, "Touched" by @sagetgreene.bsky.social is the move. I enjoyed the depth of the #fantasy elements in this story as someone who enjoys fantasy but doesn't necessarily thrive on digging into a complicated new world each read. #booktok

I hit 50 followers on my author instagram with a batch of 6 new followers that are not prior IRL or online friends. It's small but the momentum means a lot to me :)

In case anyone ever fears you’re not supporting the author by reading from a library, you absolutely are! And the more people request a book the more copies they buy!

Emerson shares a little about his roommate/friend:
