Once again, I am reminded that experience is what you get when you don't get what you want. 🙄 #writing #writers #writerslife #WritingCommunity

Today I'm working through Angela James' new craft book EDIT YOUR WAY. Anyone checked it out yet? Did you find it useful? #writers #writing #WritingCommunity

Am I the only one who cheers myself up on a bad day by buying books? 😅 #books #reading #booksky

*~☆cr: Dungeon Crawler Carl I am enjoying this so much more than I expected! I am such a sucker for cute animal companions 🥰 #books #reading #booksky

How long do you have a book in your "Currently Reading" pile with no progress before you admit it's a DNF? #books #reading #booksky

Sherry, a dragon hibernation maintenance worker, just wants to retire and go on vacation. Instead, she wakes a dragon. You can read my latest story, "How Not to Retire from Dragon Hibernation Maintenance", in the anthology FIRE AND ASH.

IT ONLY TAKES ONE! ONE acceptance, ONE yes from an agent, even one person who your story moved, can erase every rejection you've ever gotten. KEEP GOING! #writers #writing #writerslife #WritingCommunity

Which #fantasy series is your favorite??? #books #reading #SFF #booksky

If you only ever read one story I've written, let it be "Just Listed: Hardwood Floors and a Generous Curse," in which a realtor tries to sell a haunted house to the ~perfect~ buyers. Free to read online in Orion's Belt. www.orions-belt.net/archives/jus...

I know I probably can't single-handedly keep the book industry afloat with my book buying sprees, but I sure can try! #books #reading #booksky

It was a breakthrough for me in my #writing journey when I started thinking in terms of scenes, not chapters. #Writers What's your biggest craft breakthrough been recently? #WritingCommunity

🔥FIRE AND ASH is OUT NOW on Amazon / Kindle 🔥

Do you know someone who LOVES dragons? 🔥 Give them FIRE AND ASH—a collection of original fantasy stories, all with dragons!🔥

#Writers How do you decide where to end a scene? When you've finished a plot point? Hit an emotional beat? Reached a great cliffhanger? Or something else? #WritingCommunity #writing

One way to level up your #writing craft is to think less in terms of what's happening in the plot or what your characters are doing, and focus more on what you want to make the reader think and feel. #writers #WritingCommunity

If you like fantasy and dragons, this one's for you! 🔥 FIRE AND ASH, edited by JE Feldman 🔥

This week I crossed off TWO more things from my 2026 Bingo Card! 🥳🥳🥳 Finished drafting ECHOING HOWL and applied to Clarion West 👏👏👏

One big mistake I made when I started subbing short fiction was to submit 1 piece to 1 journal then hope 🤞 for an acceptance. Truth is, you've gotta submit 100 TIMES (!!) to expect even 1 acceptance. I don't make the rules... #writers #WritingCommunity #writing #writerslife

Am I the only one who finds it legitimately challenging to relax after hitting a big deadline? 🤔 #writerslife #writing #amwriting #WritingCommunity #writers

Just read "The Legend of Rangor" in the FIRE AND ASH collection about rescuing a rehabilitated dragon and it's so adorable 😭

*~☆cr: There is No Anti-Mimetics Division This one is a mind-fuck for sure...wait, what was it about again? 😂 #booksky

LOOK WHAT CAME IN THE MAIL! 😲 I had no idea this award came with an actual piece of paper I could hold in my hands!

My friend just sent me this photo of her holding her copy of 🔥FIRE AND ASH🔥 and IT IS EVERYTHING! ❤️❤️❤️

This is true ⬇️

Thank you everyone who's gotten a copy of FIRE AND ASH!! Y'all are the BEST 😭😭😭 #books #booksky #fantasy

🔥 My story, "How Not to Retire from Dragon Hibernation Maintenance," is available now in FIRE AND ASH 🔥 Sherry, a dragon hibernation maintenance worker, just wants to retire and go on vacation. Instead, she finds herself compelled to wake the dragon.

You thought you'd do some writing at Barnes and Noble and NOT come home with any new books? 🤣🤣🤣 #books #booksky
