I am an octopus Reaching, stretching in all directions Squeezing into tight spaces to be Where, how, who I need to be For you. #poetrysky #indieauthor #writer I don’t write poetry often—a professor told me to stick to fiction. Found this in my old notebook & remembered I can write whatever I want.

When you leave your desk for lunch and come back to a gift 🥰 …then you realize there’s a spider on it and figure it’s the thought that counts. I’m calling him Bernard and hoping he’ll be escorted out shortly… #indieauthor #romance #romantic

Have you really even written a novel if your character doesn’t release a breath she didn’t realize she’d been holding? #indieauthor #amwriting #writersky #writingcommunity

WIP Quotes: “What have you done?” she asked, unable to peel her gaze from the concentrated mixture of magic cast by principally untrained, would-be sorceresses. The unfolding scene, an inevitability heinous magical crime, was captivating. Clever Coming this fall #indieauthor #fairytale #retelling

Clever's latest round of revisions are complete! I think. Will verify with fresh eyes tomorrow. But I'm pretty sure I love it 😍This novella has... ✅An animal companion ✅Forbidden magic ✅A baddie you'll love to hate ✅And much more! #indieauthor #fantasyauthor #fairtytale #retelling #writersky
