As a random girl I overheard say: "Any day is a good day to value yourself." So if you're being hard on yourself or your writing, or your life, remember: You are valuable. What you bring to the world and to others is invaluable. You're valuable b/c you're YOU. #writingcommunity #writerslife

"Oh my god, it's blood!" Wren jumped back from the red puddle oozing on the floor. "Please, it's clearly jam. Or like, melted jello." Zoe sniffed the air, then froze. Wren took another step back. "What?" "Sooo..." "It IS blood isn't it?" "Yeah." "I knew it!" "Fake blood." #amwriting #wip
