Congratulations, Laney! Phase 8 and Class Ready, so now we just wait for a partner! #uglydogs

The only thing I might hate more than line editing is formatting, but draft 1 of the ebook is done. Now to check for errors. #writingcommunity

That awkward moment when the Chicago style guide says both navy-blue and navy blue are correct, but in different contexts, and you scramble to rewrite a half-dozen sentences because even though both are right, you don't want your readers to think you wrote inconsistently... #amwriting

Page 226 and counting! Hoping to finish tomorrow!

I love anti-prime day! 💜

Happy Birthday to Third and Long! A whole year and such a ride it’s been. I’m also so excited to announce that TODAY the audiobook is FINALLY available!

This week's goal: finish line editing False Start so I can format and upload for ARC's. Progress so far: p. 138 of 356. #amwriting #writingcommunity

The Third and Long #audiobook is almost here!

Ooh! Look what just showed up on Spotify! I know an audiobook option was something a lot of people asked for, and I'm so excited to announce mine will be dropping on the 1-year anniversary of Third and Long's original publication date! #writingcommunity #audiobook open.spotify.com/show/7a6qBLB...

Me attempting to figure out how Amazon Ads works... 😅 #writingcommunity #indieauthor

9 had a performance at the Seattle Folk Life Festival last night, so we took Athena on her first really big outing to the city! #uglydogs

22 years ago I married my best friend. His one request? Chocolate-covered strawberries he didn’t even get to eat on the day. Since then, every year for our anniversary my mom sends a box! 💜

I hate running so much, but my swim group triathletes SHOWED UP registering for my kid's 5K fundraiser, so here we are... 6 weeks til race day. (Also, my family 100% vetoed “F Running to 5K as a title.) 😂 #running #ParentingWin

So excited to be signing copies of Third and Long at Lakeside Books in Lake Stevens, WA tomorrow from 1-4pm (the slide is wrong about the end time 😅)! Therapy Dog Santana will also be there and offering cuddles!

Does anyone else forget the main character’s name in first person POV? I’m sitting here like, “I’m sorry, who?” 😅 #amreading

I keep losing my new car in parking lots, so now I have a new friend! 🖤❤️🖤

This was such a great piece and I can’t wait for y’all to read it!

Sending out my first batch of Anthology acceptances today for PERIGEAN TIDE, coming in 2027 from @wildinkpublishing.bsky.social! So excited for this collection and the group of authors who will be participating! 🌊 #anthology #writingcommunity

So honored to be a part of this beautiful anthology!

And done! As ever, page numbers and header/footers nearly killed me, but I did it!

Hey #writingcommunity, what are you working on tonight? I'm reformatting the print version of my debut for its re-release!

Book release day is always such a whirlwind!! 🖤 Thank you to all the early readers who have left such incredible reviews. 🔪 It’s not often someone calls your writing claustrophobic… and it’s a good thing 😂 #thriller #booksky #TBRList

I'm so excited to share my new calendar of events! Though I did have to make some cancellations and some events are still in flux, I'm excited to meet readers at these upcoming signings with Third and Long, Wickedness and Wonder, and Kaleidoscope Quill!

What's going on at WIP this week? I'm so glad you asked... This anthology publishes on TUESDAY! Order it now so it arrives on Tuesday! a.co/d/05vPjYgS

Timeline cleanse! Enjoy 15 seconds of puppy’s first snow! #uglydogs

I'm maybe going to get another 30 minutes if I can keep the creativity flowing. Thanks for sprinting with me tonight! #amwriting #writingcommunity

Hmm, don't actually remember where I left off the last time, but I'm up to 2314 for the night. I might try for one more in a little bit. #amwriting #writingcommunity
