True! #BookSky

It's a rainy night here with thunderstorms brewing, so I've decided to get into bed early to read. Kaya seems happy with this plan. #dogsofbluesky #pets #sunday #readingcommunity #writingcommunity

Made treats for Kaya 🐶🥰. Oats, peanut butter 🥜, an egg 🥚and a banana 🍌. She loved 'em! Since the recipe made lots, I think we'll take a few to her neighbourhood dog pals later. #dogs #dogtreats #homemade #baking #writingcommunity

I've been craving a strawberry crumble for days, so this afternoon I finally made one. Anyone else want a scoop of this? Maybe with a little vanilla ice cream... #baking #springbaking #sundaybaking #writingcommunity

This poor sweet baby needs a lot of medical care to recover from a hit-and-run. If you are able, please consider making a donation. Every little bit helps. gofund.me/5a6dca3e4

My mother in law very kindly brought Kaya a new toy the other day. It didn't last long, but boy did she enjoy it. 🙃🤣🐶

Just loaded up my e-reader for a week of vacation. 📖📚👓 I'm all set! #readingcommunity #writingcommunity

Look at that sweet lil' face. 🐶😍 #dogsofbluesky #puppy #petsofbluesky

Happy National Library Week! 💙📚

All tuckered out from a day of running, playing and sniffing. 🐶💤 While she snoozes, it's time for an evening writing session. #dogsofbluesky #writingcommunity #amwriting

So when your dog lies down next to you and falls asleep, you can never move again, right? 🐶😴❤️ #dogsofbluesky #petsofbluesky #sleepypup

I spent most of today in the kitchen. Baked cookies to share at work tomorrow and meal prepped for the week. Between all of that, grocery shopping, a visit with my friend and her daughter, and two long walks with our dog, I'm just about ready for bed! How was your Sunday?

"It's so beautifully arranged on the plate - you know someone's fingers have been all over it." ~ Julia Child

I dream of the day when I might possibly have a book in a library that someone, somewhere, could check out and read.

This sounds like a perfect evening, in my opinion.

Homemade brownies for my husband's birthday. They're still warm, if anyone wants a piece. 😋 #fromscratch #baking #chocolate #Sundayvibes

I know it's actually caturday, but I still wanted to share our sweet girl, Kaya. 🥰🐶 She's been with us almost 3 weeks now, and she's just the best. #pup #dog #petsofbluesky #Saturday

How cool! I'd love to see more of this here in Canada.

We adopted a 10-month old pup from a local shelter about 10 days ago. She's settling in well, but today doesn't seem to want to rest or nap. She had a solid morning walk, playtime, time exploring the yard, breakfast and lots of love. But she's still restless. Any advice? #dog #puppy #pet

A question, friends. When do you typically let your friends/family read your drafts? While you're still writing the first draft, once you've edited the first draft, or something else? I'm excited about my current #WIP, but nervous for others to see it. #awriterslife #writingcommunity #question

Wishing you all some magic in your day today. #writingcommunity #writerslife #art

Starting to get the tiniest bit jealous from all the spring photos that are cropping up on my feed while it continues to snow here. ❄️ We won't have green leaves for another 2 months or so. #Canada #North #Brrrr #March

Morning writing session complete. Today was one of those all-too-rare days where the words flowed and I didn't second-guess every other sentence. It feels good to create. ✍️📖☕ Now I'm off to my day job! What are you up to today? #creative #writerslife #amwriting #writingcommunity

Sound advice. 😊

Getting back into the swing of writing post-vacation. About 300 words written tonight, along with re-working a scene I wrote a couple weeks ago. ✍️ What are you working on tonight? #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerslife #WIP

A few photos from my recent vacation. 😎 It was a little tough to come back to -15 C after this!

Heading off on 10 days of vacation starting tomorrow! I have 6 books ready to go... hopefully that will carry me through! 📖📚🤓 #readingcommunity #writingcommunity

Just finished reading "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer. I loved it so much, could not put it down! What have you been reading lately? #writingcommunity #readingcommunity

Trying an early morning writing session today instead of writing this evening since I'll be busy tonight. Let's hope the caffeine kicks in soon. ☕🫖✍️ #writerslife #amwriting #writingcommunity

I honestly worry about people who don’t have too many books

I have two characters with names that I'm realizing may be too similar. One is the protagonist's best friend. The other is a mildly annoying side character... a minor antagonist, but not the major villain. Should I change one of their names? #WIP #writerslife #writingcommunity

786 words written on my #WIP today, but I now realize about 200 of them have taken my characters down a track I wasn't intending... Do I keep going with it or backtrack to the path I had planned? What to do... what to do... #amwriting #writerslife #writingcommunity

Did a bit of baking to thank our neighbour for helping us clear some huge piles of ice and snow left behind by city plows. Applesauce loaf and muffins! 👩‍🍳 #baking #thankful #Sunday

Just a little something for your Sunday... R.S. Thomas

Alright, Monday night writing session is about to commence! Fresh cup of tea: ✅ Soft lighting: ✅ Instrumental music: ✅ #WIP #writerslife #writingcommunity #amwriting

Another 493 words added to my #WIP tonight. I had hoped to write about double that, but time's up for this evening. This is going slowly, but I hope the end result will be worth it. #amwriting #writerslife #writingcommunity

441 words written tonight. Not a lot, but progress is progress and forward is forward! I'll take it. I like the direction this story is headed. 👍😊📖⌨️🖊️ #WIP #amwriting #writerslife #mystery

My word for 2026 is "strive." What's yours? #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #writerslife

What were some of your favourite Christmas books when you were a kid? The Little Crooked Christmas Tree was always one of mine, and I still love it to this day. 🎄🥰 #kidlit #childrensbooks #christmas #writingcommunity #readingcommunity

444 words written for today. It may not be much, but progress is progress! 📖✍️ #writerslife #amwriting #writingcommunity #WIP

This checks out.

Here are a few Christmas decor and hosting items we were able to snag at our local thrift store. New treasures for us to cherish, while keeping them out of the landfill. Win-win. By the way, is it still too early to decorate? 🎅🎄⛄ #thrifting #secondhand #Christmas

I wrote this Halloween poem a few years ago, thought I'd repost it here. Hope you enjoy, and wishing you a happy and safe Halloween! 🎃👻🧙‍♀️🪄🐈‍⬛🧟🍬 #poetry #halloween #writingcommunity

Ok, I know prologues can be kinda controversial, #writingcommunity, but are they really THAT bad? I just had so much fun writing one for my new #WIP! What's your opinion? #amwriting #awriterslife

On the agenda for today: working on the plot for my new #WIP, grocery shopping and meal prep, a little yard work, working out and hopefully a nice long autumn walk. 🍂 How about you? #Writerslife #amwriting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

I hope you're enjoying a beautiful October day, friends. 🍂 #October #writingcommunity #reading

Over the last two weeks, an idea for a new #WIP has been brewing in my brain. The main character wandered in, nearly fully formed. So today, I'm going to start writing about her. ✍️⌨️📖 What are you working on today, friends? #writingcommunity #writerslife #Sunday

Recently did a late summer multi-day hiking trip in the Rocky Mountains. I came back feeling inspired to write and tell stories about these majestic places. Here are a few of my favourite views. #hiking #RockyMountains #nature #inspiration #writerslife #writing
