Can't wait for this fun event in Glenwood Springs, CO.

Over the years, I've found the best response to rejection is to keep #writing. So, today, I made time to #write. #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky

An extra hour to #write today? Why, thank you! #writerslife #amdrafting #daylightsavings #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Daily word count goals stress me out. But I do want to set a goal for #November -- to finish my current MG wip. The monthly word count goal would be around 25k. So, this looks like an accountability thread. 👀 💪 #writinggoals #writingcommunity #amdrafting #writerslife #mglit #kidlit

Just spending my evening researching lighthouses. #writerslife #amdrafting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #booksky

Hey reader friends! If you’re over on Instagram, I’m doing a fun giveaway of Sisterhood of Sleuths and the Once Upon a Book Club subscription box! You can check it out here: www.instagram.com/reel/DQWvZgQ...

I was trying to share my thoughts on PERFECTIONISM, but I kept deleting everything I wrote. This is the post I’m left with. 😂🤪 #writerslife #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #perfectionism

Me in photos from the @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social Letters & Lines Conference last weekend. 😂 #writingconference #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #kidlit

Had a lovely evening at The Bookies for Ann Rose’s new release — A HEXCELLENT CHANCE TO FALL IN LOVE — the perfect #Halloween #romance #read. 🎃🐈‍⬛ #booksky #indiebookstore #bookevent #writersofblusky #amreading #spookyseason

I wasn’t able to #write last weekend, and my characters were stuck, waiting to get into a basement room. But now that I finished writing that scene today, I’m guessing they wish they’d never seen what was hiding in there. 🫣 😱 #amdrafting #mghorror #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #booksjy

I could only attend one conference this year, and I chose the @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social conference. After two days, my head and heart are full. I want nothing more than to #write all of these new ideas down. But I think I need sleep more. #writerslife #writingcommunity #kidlit #writersofbluesky

Feeling stylish with my new Bookish Cats bag on #Caturday. #cats #booksky #writersofbluesky

I went with #birthday brownie over birthday cake this year. All homemade, especially that delicious salted caramel. I feel *spoiled.* #birthdaygirl #baking #dessert

It's the same thing every year. The @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social conference, Letters & Lines, is days away, and I'm still agonizing over which breakout sessions to attend. I want to go to ALL of them! #kidlit #writersofbluesky #booksky #writingcommunity #dilemma

Happy book birthday, @klynnhanson.bsky.social!! Sending positive vibes for SWORDS & STONES quest out into the world!

Arriving at work yesterday, I noticed this tree in the parking lot. Does anyone else see a creature with some sort of beak? I think it needs a story. Perhaps a #spooky one. 👀 #writersofbluesky #spookyseason #writerslife #booksky #writingcommunity

#Saturday morning vibes with homemade #pumpkin bread and SHADOWBOUND by Amelia Cole. 🥰 #amreading #WritingCommunity #writersofbluesky #booksky

Moments from my book launch at @boulderbookstore. Full video at tiny.cc/EugeniaLaunch. #booksky @boulderbookstore.bsky.social @thetobiasagency.bsky.social @simonkids.bsky.social @annmrose.bsky.social @kristiechoi.bsky.social @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social

We had so much fun at The Boulder Bookstore celebrating the release of THE MANY MISFORTUNES OF EUGENIA WANG by @zombicatures.bsky.social with @kristiechoi.bsky.social. This spooky graphic novel is the perfect #read for October. 👀 #writingcommunity #bookrelease #kidlit #kidlitcomics #booksky

My #bookreview for SWORDS & STONES, a King Arthur-inspired #YAFantasy by @klynnhanson.bsky.social Magic, quests, romance -- all the things you love about King Arthur tales but with the descendants and a young, sexy Merlin. Releasing October 14th! #booksky www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

A dear friend gave me an early birthday card. In it, she wrote, "I hope this next year brings more opportunity than you can handle." And you know what I say to that -- 💪💪 #writingcommunity #onsub #writerslife #businessowner #momlife

Some of my favorite lines aren’t elegant, but they ring with my character’s truth. Even if that truth is temporary and just a part of their journey. #amdrafting #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #writingcommunity

If you're ready to get serious about writing for children, here's a great opportunity!😍Application window for @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social 2026 mentor program is open til 11/3. I'm excited to be on the mentor list again this year! Here's the link: www.scbwi.org/regions/rmc/...

For the #KidLit community! Tomorrow (10/5) is the last day to register for the incredible @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social conference, 10/18-19 near Denver, CO. Tracks for illustrators, writing PBs, writing MG & YA, and marketing, for both emerging and well-published creators.

I think one of the ways to deal with self-doubt is to acknowledge that’s what these thoughts are. They’re not facts, just false beliefs. #writerslife #onsub #WritingCommunity #writersofbluesky

My internal monologue might need some work. 😅 #writerslife #amdrafting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Happy #October! We started our day with #pumpkin pancakes. Yum! #momlife #spookyseason

What if my new MG premise is tweaking a sequel I had in mind for a book that didn’t make it in the #query trenches? And it would be a standalone and rather scary and a whole new approach to these characters that I love?? 👀👀 #writingcommunity #writerslife #bookresurrection #writerofbluesky

The @SimonKids Read & Learn video for my upcoming #graphicnovel, THE MANY MISFORTUNES OF EUGENIA WANG is live! Listen to me narrate the first two chapters! Find it on the Simon Kids YouTube channel at youtu.be/UkKVTrwGBko...#graphicnovel, #kidlit @TheTobiasAgency

Me sitting with adults last night, talking only about adult #books. #kidlitlover #booksky #kidlitwriter #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

#Editors: Come FALL in love with my deliciously spooky MG out #onsub. With THE CONJURING vibes and plenty of chills and thrills, 12yo Sami Shane struggles with her nightmares and secrets. But a ghost hunting game will release all her secrets and more 👀 #FirstDayOfFall #writingcommunity #booksky

I hit the SAVE button on my word doc fairly often while I #write. Maybe...too often?? It's like I'm always ready for someone to interrupt me so I save the work whenever I can. 🫠 #writingcommunity #amdrafting #writerslife #writersofbluesky

Let the frenzy begin!! 🍁🍁🍁

Drop an unforgettable #movie quote

When the going gets tough, the tough make chocolate chip #cookies. #baking #momlife #fridayvibes #onsub #writingcommunity

I've submitted my detective story for the #KidLitChuckleChallenge and per usual, I'm nervous. I hope the judges chuckle and enjoy it. 🤞😆 Enormous thanks to @brilawyer.bsky.social @juliehauswirth.bsky.social @aprilberrybooks.bsky.social @musingmommumble.bsky.social for hosting! #writingcommunity

Thanks to Odd and Bookish for this 5-star #bookreview of my upcoming #graphicnovel. " I could totally see this book being turned into a Pixar movie because it has that quirky kind of premise that Pixar is known for." oddandbookish.wordpr...

I think every #book we #write is a new experience because we start with a different vision for each. We might know this about the setting or that about the plot. Or we have an immediate sense of our MC. But I rarely know all of this from the initial vision. #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

#Writing retreat Autumn 2025 🥰 #amdrafting #writerslife #writingcommunity

I just got to update my drafting MG wip to 5k from 4k. It's the little things in life, you know? #writerslife #amdrafting #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #booksky

With a little time on my hands this morning, I’ve pulled up at a nearby indie #bookstore, ordered my decaf chai, and am adding a new opening scene in my drafting MG wip. #writerslife #writingcommunity #amdrafting

I'll admit, I'm super curious about this enemies-to-lovers slow burn romantic thriller. Anyone else? I'll be at the TOURIST SEASON release party with @brynneweaver.bsky.social at The Bookies in #Denver. Come join me! #bookrelease #touristseason #writingcommunity #booksky

I’m torturing myself a little by listening to one of my WIP’s playlists. It’s inspiring me to find time to #write, even when it’s hard to find it right now. 🎶🎵 #amdrafting #writerslife #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

My endless TBR would agree wholeheartedly with this! #booksky #books #booklover #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #writerslife

#Editors prepare to have your bones chilled and your heart warmed! THE SHIVER’s got thrills, chills and feels!!! 👻🕯️🖤

With the release of #ConjuringTheLastRites, I want to give a shoutout to my bone-chilling book #onsub with MG The Conjuring vibes. Read it...if you dare, #editors!

I adore middle grade summer camp books and THE FIREFLY SUMMER by Morgan Matson gave me all of those warm summer vibes plus a little mystery and a lot of family connection. Here's my #bookreview: www.goodreads.com/review/show/... #booksky #writersofbluesky #mglit #booklover #bookrecommendations
