She’s all big-city glamour and crème brûlée. He’s more meatloaf and Midwestern stubborn. When a culinary queen clashes with a grumpy college professor, sparks—and spatulas—fly. #questpit #Q #A #R

Love finding this little guy hanging around. And yes, our work plants are named Fred and Ethel.

Hello, I’m Carly. I’ve loved to read for as long as I can remember, and my Grandma played a big role in that. My writing started as a way to pass the time while waiting for kids to be done with practices. I wrote my entire first novel on my phone.

Currently watching Young Frankenstein. Probably the movie I quote most often… ❤️🤩

First animated crush without saying your age—

Your Halloween costume is "sexy" plus the last internet search you made: Sexy Torn Hip Labrum Welp…

After some feedback, I’m in the rewrite process for the opening of my WIP. New first line— “They say it takes three meetings to fall in love.” #writingcommunity #writesky #writingprompts #SaturdaySnippet

I swear my brain mockingly gives me my best ideas in the shower—no pens or paper in sight. An entire seamlessly hilarious conversation between characters. By the time I get out, I can recall approximately 50% of one line. Never mind that I’ve been staring at the same scene for the past 45 minutes. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Annora’s always chewing watermelon-flavored gum in my YA sci-fi and Maggie always has a hint of vanilla and coconut.

Currently starting draft 5 of A Recipe for Romance after discovering I used the word “sigh” over 130 times. 🫣🥴

“Boss” is one of Will’s annoying nicknames for Maggie. In this #wipsnip, they’re texting, even though Maggie’s trying to forget about him by going on date after cringey date. But Will is nothing if not persistent. #writingcommunity #writesky #amediting

Dystopian robot birds with neurotoxic darts— (my auto correct tried to change it to “farts.”)

Sometimes I wish I could draw…or paint…or make super awesome things on the computer—but alas, my artistic ability caps out at old school scrapbooking. #characterart #writingcommunity

A line from the sequel to The Annora Project—a WIP. A dystopian future… ✨In the dark, a pinky finds mine and links us together as we bump along the dusty dirt road. And even though I’m exhausted, hungry, and my shoulder hurts like the devil, I smile.✨

✨The Annora Project✨

Anyone else editing one WIP and 100 pages into another, when a new idea pops in their head, and now they’ve got 7 pages of…something? The something: “Hearing that giggle now, bright and familiar, hit her like a slap she’d spent half a decade pretending she didn’t deserve.” #humpday #writingprompt

This is me putting on extra deodorant for a live pitch event…via Zoom. 👍🏻🥴 #amquerying #writingcommunity

Superman! Made me think of a snippet from✨The Annora Project.✨
