Today is the last Friday in my middle school teacher era. Such a bittersweet feeling. High school biology on deck! #teacherlife #amwriting 🧬 🧪 🧫

When I wrote the first boat ride in my book I didn’t want to frame it like you’re just watching from the outside. I wanted you to see what I feel every time I go out in the boat myself in the same swamp I write about. I wanted to share the sounds, the smells, the feels. It’s all there. #writesky

My novel was born from a conversation about teacher income streams. I described my family’s bayou camp. Willa James showed up and wouldn’t leave. #writesky #booksky

Some men fish. Some men wait. #writingcommunity

They’d become strangers wearing the same last name. #writingcommunity

Writing a Southern Gothic thriller means the setting keeps showing up uninvited. Yesterday an egret stared at me for ten minutes. He knew what I did to chapter 14. #writingsky #booksky

Saturday assignment: do nothing, watch the water, let the swamp do the talking. It never asks where I’ve been, and that’s why I keep coming back. #writesky #amrevising #booksky

Reading a book this week and went oh. OH. That’s what my character is missing. Sometimes you can’t see your own manuscript until you’re looking at someone else’s. #Writesky #AmRevising #Booksky
