What is your favorite hot chocolate recipe? #truth #authorlife #amwriting

I was sure they were wrong. Dammit 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

Underwear dance party time… it always makes me smile! #truth #authorlife #amwriting

If it works, it works 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

#Writetip: I’m not saying you’ll always have fun when you’re writing. The truth is that some days it will just feel like work (especially during edits), but when it certainly helps a lot when it IS a lot of fun. It’ll go quicker and you’ll be surprised at how far you get! #amwriting #amreading

#Writetip: There are times when you’re working on a story that it’s almost as though you hit a brick wall in the writing process. You may find yourself just staring. Get up and move around. Get a drink or a snack and come back to it. A reset can often help! #amwriting #writingcommunity #notebook

Can I have a cleaning fairy and a cooking fairy please? 😊 #amwriting #writingcommunity #amreading

It happens 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

Never piss off a writer… we keep detailed written receipts. 😊 #amwriting #books #relatable

If I had to, you have to 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

#Writetip: Just because you delete something from this WIP, it doesn’t mean that you have to relegate it to the trash. There is nothing to stop you keeping a second document open where you paste the things that didn’t work in this book but might work in another story one day. #amwriting #amreading

It happens 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

Nothing like writing a little demon possessed angry sex to improve your mood. #authorlife #amreading #amwriting

#Writetip: It’s true that writing isn’t only when you’re sitting typing or writing… it’s also the time spent thinking, plotting, planning, imagining and observing. That means that if you’re out and about and experiencing life, you’re also busy with the work of writing. #amwriting #writingcommunity

#Writetip: Don’t try to write something that you’re no good at. If history isn’t your thing, historical fiction shouldn’t be your genre. You can research a lot, but you need to be able to write with confidence so start where you feel strongest. #amwriting #writingcommunity #amreading

Sometimes the news headlines provide you with an unexpectedly hysterical snippet 😊 #amreading #amwriting #books

It really is a strange one 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

#Writetip: On the topic of having a thick skin… Reviews are great and as authors we want them, but ultimately reviews are for readers. They’re supposed to help readers pick what they want to read next & won't always make you happy. Don’t take them to heart. #amwriting #writingcommunity #amreading

Count to 10 they say… I hit 100 and I was still mad. Yesterday was a rough one but today is a new day! #truth #authorlife #amwriting

Why is this so real?? 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

Do you ever just feel absolutely wiped out by nothing in particular? #truth #authorlife #amwriting

That's just rude! 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

#Writetip: If you want to be a writer, it’s important that you cultivate a thick skin. It’s too easy to be hurt when someone criticizes your story or characters and that can lead to a loss of faith. It's YOUR dream. If you believe in you, that’s all that matters! #amwriting #writingcommunity

#Writetip: You already have so much more material than you think you do. Everything from your life is free to use. You lived it, saw it, dated it, experienced it… so you absolutely have every right to use it. #amwriting #writingcommunity #notebook

It is... but it's also perfectly ok to cry 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

I think I am 100% cut out to be a millionaire philanthropist 😊 #amwriting #writingcommunity #amreading

#Writetip: There are times when you won’t be able to write because you’re at work or driving etc. Let your imagination run wild. Send yourself voice notes. Work through plot points. When you get to the keyboard it’ll go smoother. #amwriting #writingcommunity #notebook

Taking the time to find at least one thing in every day that makes you happy is good for the soul. Today it might be a Taco, tomorrow a new book. 😊 #amwriting #writingcommunity #amreading

We've all been there 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

Working on coloring pages for my group members. Art is such a happy place for me! #amwriting #books #relatable

Me when it comes to my characters 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

#Writetip: If you aren’t sure about writing a novel straight out the gate, consider writing short stories to figure out your voice. You can often find literary magazines that have writing contests that will allow you to get your foot in the door. #amwriting #writingcommunity #amreading

It's like that sometimes 😊 #writingjokes #reading #writingquotes #amwriting

What is your favorite way to spend a Sunday? #authorlife #amreading #amwriting

#Writetip: Writing is a creative pursuit, but it is also an act of discipline. You cannot wait until you’re in the “mood” to write. You have to make time and sit down to write daily. It’s a little bit like Field of Dreams… if you show up to write, the words will come. #amwriting #writingcommunity

#Writetip: The writer operates at a peculiar crossroads where time and place and eternity somehow meet. His problem is to find that location. FLANNERY O’CONNOR #amwriting #writingcommunity #amreading

Why are there Christmas decorations out already? 😊 #amreading #amwriting #books
