So there's this one character in my novel who always steals everyone's hearts (she's a puppy) and I dangle her off not 1 but 2 cliffs, nearly drown her, and bury her in an avalanche. Am I the asshole? 🤔 #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

When I was 12, I started writing a novel about magical wolves. Years later, my aunt had this stained glass window designed 🥹 I can't wait to finally get ECHOING HOWL out into the world! Coming spring 2027 😄 #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

BOOK HAUL! 😄📚🍾 #books #reading #booksky

Good advice on subbing short fiction to magazines: authorspublish.com/how-i-publis... #writers #writing #WritingCommunity

Did you guys even read the same pages???

EVERYTHING MUST GO! No, I'm not selling cars, I'm editing my novel. #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

One benefit of social media is I've gotten really good at photographing books 😍📚 Who loves this series? #books #reading #booksky

I cut 1,000 words today!! 😄🎉 #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

The setting of my wolf fantasy novel is based on Yosemite Valley and Lake Tahoe. These look like places you'd find magical wolves, right? ✨️🐺✨️ #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

One of the worst things about being a writer and being your own boss is on days when you want to hide under the covers there's no one to stop you... #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

My word count is going in the wrong direction...🤦‍♀️ #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

Receiving feedback is tough. Releasing a book into the world that no one wants to read is probably worse. #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

I've got a story in Dragon Soul Press's anthology 🔥 FIRE AND ASH 🔥 !!! Captive dragons, science experiments + an aging protagonist who gives zero f*$%s = a dragon rescue! #books #reading #booksky #fantasy #writing #WritingCommunity

Went to my 15 year college reunion this weekend and got to tell everyone I'm a published author! What a dream ✨️😄✨️ #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

Yesterday I wanted to read a lot and only got to read a little. What's the writer's equivalent of "first world problems"? 🤔📚 #books #reading #booksky #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife

✨️🖼📚 The perfect place to curl up and read a good book 😄 ☕️ #books #reading #booksky

Last night I stayed up reading past midnight and today I feel *hung over.* The fuck is this? Am I too old to read all night??? 😧 #books #reading #booksky

I love when books surprise me. I love walking into a story and not knowing where the road will lead ✨️ 📚 🛣 ✨️ #books #reading #booksky

Problem of the day: too many nice places to sit and read ✨️ 📚 😊 #books #reading #booksky

Short fiction is SO GOOD and yet I don't carve out enough time for it bc our culture valorizes reading "a book" more than a short story. I don't know what to do about this but it makes me sad 😔 #books #reading #booksky #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife

Found in the wild! (Almost 😆) FIRE AND ASH spotted in my aunt's library. Still counts! 🔥📚 #books #reading #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife

This comes as a surprise to no one, but artists are amazing! An artist has 100% captured the essence of my wolf MC for ECHOING HOWL and I CAN'T WAIT to share the portrait with you soon! 🤭🎨🐺 #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

There's nothing like sitting and staring into a fire to light up the soul and spark the imagination. #books #reading #writing #WritingCommunity #writers

My office for the day ✍️😄 #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

What's your favorite YA fantasy? And does it have "bone" in the title? 🤔📚 #books #reading #booksky

How many books am I going to read in this chair this week?? ALL THE BOOKS!! #books #reading #booksky

How did you add magic to the world today? #fantasy #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #books #reading

Fantasy can pull us into worlds we never dreamed of. So keep writing. Put a little more magic in the world. #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting #books #reading #fantasy

I'm halfway through a really mediocre book but I think I'm going to press through so it'll count towards my goodreads goal... am I being dumb? 🤔📚🤷‍♀️ #books #reading #booksky

Revising chapters I wrote a year ago and realizing I'm a much better writer today than I was then...Never stop learning and growing! 🦾🌱📚 #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

It'll take a hell of a lot of book buying to make a dent in this world, but dammit if I'm not going to try! 😂

A faulty time machine brainwashes humans using genetically modified dolphins. Yep, sounds about right! 🤣🤣🤣

The coyote in my backyard says, WRITE YOUR NOVEL! #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

Sometimes I buy a book even though I won't have time to read it because I want to make a tiny vote for, "Yes. I want this. I'll pay money for this. Please put more of this in the world." #books #reading #booksky

Midpoint rewrites are moving along! If only it weren't adding thousands of words to an already way too long manuscript...🤦‍♀️ #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

You know how some people post pictures of their food? I'm like that but with books 📚 #books #reading #booksky

Past Me: Just get the story down, you can worry about cutting words later. Current Me: Just fix the structural issues, you can always cut words later. Future Me: Y'all really suck... #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting

Writers, how do you find comps for your books? Is there like a database somewhere or any resources you use? Please send help 🙏 #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #amwriting #querying

Just pre-ordered ALIGNMENT, Book 2 in S.E. Wheeler's phenomenal ALTERATION series. Been waiting so long for this and now it'll be out MAY 1!! #books #booksky #reading #fantasy

Bookish people, which should I read next?🤔 📖 📚 #books #reading #booksky

Agents aren't fairy godmothers who can wave a magic wand and make your publishing dreams come true. They only get paid if they sell your book to a publisher. It's not rejection; it's self preservation. #writing #WritingCommunity #writerslife #writers #querying
