I think 90% of my time as a #writer is trying to figure out how to end the chapter I felt great about 5 pages ago. #writersofbluesky #booksky #amdrafting #writingcommunity

I had the best of intentions but yesterday turned into one of those days where I struggled with feelings about my pub journey. My partner reminded me of this cartoon. I’m sharing in case anyone else needs a gentle, “Don’t give up.” #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #dontgiveup

Just reached 25k in this YA wip. 💃 #writingcommunity #writerslife #amdrafting #booksky #writersofbluesky

It's nice to know there are alternatives in life that includes #cats and #books. What would you choose? #booklover #librariansrock #writingcommunity #booksky #writersofbooksky

My YA wip vibes ✨ #amdrafting #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #writingcommunity

My #book list for last month was very eclectic and fun. Highly recommend each of these! #booksworthreading #booksky #bookrecommendations #amreading #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Me looking at the unfinished draft for the YA #book I started drafting in 2025 and haven't read since last summer. 😱 #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky

#amreading CROSS YOUR HEART AND HOPE HE DIES, the second adult mystery rom com by Jenny Elder Moke. And yes, mystery rom com should definitely be a thing. #writingcommunity #booksky #mustread #booklover #bookstoread

At a book release party last night, someone asked the author what was their motivation for writing #books. It's something I've thought about but never put into words. HBU? #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky

I guess I took a week-long break from SM. It wasn't intentional and then it became intentional. But I'm glad I gave myself some space from everything. Sometimes, a little space can do us good! #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #writerslife #kidlit #mglit #amdrafting

Brainstorming titles and they all have words like foggy, tired, and sleepy. Maybe I just need a nap. 🫠 #amdrafting #writerslife #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #kidlit

It’s snowy and gray in #Colorado. A perfect day to listen to #Mitski and #write in one of my favorite indie bookstores. #writingcommunity #amdrafting #writerslife #kidlit #mglit #writersofbluesky

A rejection with a compliment about my MG voice? #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #kidlit #mglit

Yesterday, my character chose to subvert expectation during a dialogue scene then surprised me even more by revealing a truth I didn’t know. #amdrafting #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #writingcommunity #kidlit #mglit

I found a new coffee shop and #writing spot near my house. Taking time today to write my MG, which is growing stranger by the day. But thank you, Poe. I’d like to think there’s beauty in its strangeness. #edgarallenpoe #edgarallenpoequote #writer #writingcommunity #mglit #kidlit #writersofbluesky

Another assortment of #books but this time, it's my #NewYear2026 reads. Well, some of them. There are others lurking around my house somewhere. 😅 #amreading #booklover #writingcommunity #booksky #bookstoread #bookrecommendations

Here are some of the #books that made my #reading list in 2025. Lots of unexpected and delightful stories. Check out the full list here: christineletizia.com/2025/12/31/m... #amreading #booklover #booktwitter #writingcommunity #bookrecommendations #bookstoread #booksworthreading #booksky

I’ve sort of accepted that I won’t finish this #book in 2025. I know why — I invested time drafting a different book and reopened my business. So, there’s that. But I still struggle with where I’m at and where I want to be. All. The. Time. #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky

Another year of being here for all things #STORYSTORM! #kidlit #brainstorming #writingcommunity #writerslife

My new #writing sweatshirt as I’m drafting today’s chapter. #amdrafting #writer #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #kidlit

The entrance to an underground speakeasy at The Stanley Hotel #ilovecolorado

Not a lot of words on the page this week but lots of #cookies on the baking sheet. #holidaybaking #theholidays

My #holiday read is THE MATZAH BALL by Jean Meltzer, about a Jewish author who must face her summer camp archenemy while looking for inspiration on the last night of #Hanukkah at the Matzah Ball. Oy! to the World 🕎 #amreading #writingcommunity #booksky

A little sympathy for the antagonist is never a bad thing, right? #amdrafting #writerslife #mglit #kidlit #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity

#Writing a scene today that feels very sci-fi and #horror, and I wonder what the people around me in the library would think if they knew what I was drafting. 😅 #amdrafting #mglit #kidlit #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

There are so many things we can’t control on our publishing journey, but we can invest in our craft. And I just signed up for my first #writing workshop for 2026. #writingcraft #writingcommunity #writerslife #writersofbluesky

#writersofbluesky Get to know me before 2026: ✨MG & YA writer ✨Love writing spooky stuff...👀 ✨But I'm a scaredy-cat 🙀 ✨Wild about #kidlit ✨Mom of 4 ✨Acupuncturist ✨Libra with Gemini rising ✨French toast = comfort food #writingcommunity

How am I already rewriting my first chapter when I haven't even finished the book yet? 🫠 #writerslife #writersofbluesky #booksky #writingcommunity #amdrafting #mglit #kidlit

I kept pushing to finish drafting this #book because there are other stories I want to tackle. But I just realized how much I don’t want to push any longer. I want to enjoy creating THIS story. And that means, it’s going to take as long as it takes. #writingcommunity #kidlit #mglit #booksky

'Twas the 10th of December, and between work, #kids, and holiday shopping -- will I find time to #write? #momlife #holidays #writerslife #amdrafting #writingcommunity #kidlit #mglit

Today, I keep opening my email for all things #writing, knowing there aren't any new emails, but still hoping one with good news might pop up. 👀 #writerslife #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #onsub #mglit #kidlit

I completed two #writing sprints this morning and was crying like my MC was crying by the end of it. We joke about torturing our characters but aren't we just torturing ourselves because we love them so much? #writingcommunity #writerslife #mglit #kidlit #amdrafting #writersofbluesky

I'm #thankful for #writing friends and my wonderful agent and intriguing wips and completed drafts and shelved #books waiting to be revised and potential love triangles and new adventures on the next page. I'm grateful to be a #writer. #gratitude #Thanksgiving #ThanksgivingDay #writersofbluesky

Not a lot of words on the page in the last few days. It weighs on me when I can't #write. But I'm still hoping this week will open up, and I can reach my finish-this-draft goal. Or even, just get close to finishing! #amdrafting #writingcommunity #writerslife #mglit #kidlit #writersofbluesky

My 2025 success wasn't in the #writing world as I'd hoped. Instead, after many wild & wonderful years as a SAHM, I was able to reopen my #acupuncture practice. It is amazing to have a small space, minutes away from my #kids school, and get to work with clients again. #2025successstory

Me moving toward 30k in my MG wip today. #drafting #amdrafting #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #booksky #mglit #kidlit

#Writing sprints tonight with @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social Novel Connect. Thank you for hosting @tiffanypainter.bsky.social and Kelly. Love the inspo quote that we started with: “Writing is an act of optimism.” #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity #booksky

I just hit 27K in this new MG horror wip. It has: - Oregon coast setting - Little sis//Big bro vibes - Missing replaced with monstrous - Trust issues + Who can we actually trust?! - Underground tunnels - Invasion of the...? #mglit #kidlit #horror #amdrafting #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity

#Drafting update: I'd only written 6k in my MG by the 15th of #November. It's 6k that I love and am proud of. This #book is everything I want it to be. But...I might not reach my goal of finishing the first draft. So, my new goal is to #write as much as I can the rest of the month. And we'll see!

#Author besties I can't imagine being on this journey without @ndesilva-author.bsky.social. She is amazing friend...and an even better writer! Check out her atmospheric contemporary #romance pitch below. A huge thanks to @morganchughes.bsky.social for being our incredible agent! 💗

@letiziawrites.bsky.social and I met during the golden age of Writer Twitter through Revpit posting games. 🐥💛📝 Since then, we’ve become CPs, friends, and even agent siblings (shout out to the great @morgan.c.hughes!). We can’t wait to share our books with the world!

Have you ever loved a #book but didn't like the ending? 🤔 #writingcommunity #booksky #writersofbluesky

If you're looking for a steamy #holiday anthology to keep you warm this season, check out JINGLE THESE BELLS. Releasing today! (And if you read it, please share your fav story 👀) www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

When you know the big picture of what’s going to happen in the next scene you’re drafting but don’t know enough details to actually #write it. 🫠 #amdrafting #writerslife #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky #mglit #kidlit

While I am much more comfortable hiding behind my #books, this is me trying to be brave and sharing my new author photo. 🫣 #writer #writerslife #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

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
