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!

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

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

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

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

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
