Great quote for all the writers out there. Trust the process! #writingcommunity #booksky #authorsky #writersky #fictionwriters

Just started this one. Thoughts, anyone? #booksky #bookrecs #bookreviews #fiction #books

My current read. Just started, but love the style Provocative, deep, funny, heartbreaking. #booksky #books #fiction #bookrec #amreading

Hoping this new first chapter will better hook my readers…and grab the attention of the agents I’m querying. #bookstagram #authorlife #amwriting #authorsofinstagram #querying #fiction

A bit tough to follow at times. Has anyone else had this experience? #booksky #bookreviews #authorsky #amreading #fiction

Just finished. Fast paced, quick witted, well written, emotionally intelligent. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The opening chapters seem worlds away from a laboratory that would produce this monster. Can’t wait to see how it all unfolds. #booksky #amreading #books #fiction #booklover

Feeling major delulu at the moment. #booksky #authorsky #querying #writersky #authorlife

Can’t wait to dig into your five-star faves! #booksky #readingcommumity #books #amreading

First read of 2026. Will see if it lives up to the hype. #booksky #read #books #reading #fiction #bookrecs

2026 publishing goal for my debut novel, LAKE AMANDA. #booksky #writers #authorsky #books #2026goals

Another great audiobook! Started a bit slow for me, but soon came together beautifully. Unique style/structure, superb writing, wonderful characters! The multiple narrators were perfection! #booksky #books #bookrecs #reading

It’s been a very good year! #booksky #fiction #books #reading #writersky

Taking a break from querying. Will be sure to have another 20 or so ready to send off after the first of the year. #querying #author #booksky #authorsky #authorlife #writingcommunity #publishing #fiction

My writing is making me hungry! #amwri̇ti̇ng #authorlife #books #booksky #fiction #florence #writersky #writingcommunity

Great self-check! #writing #editing #authorsky #writersky #booksky

Update from the query trenches. Such an ongoing process, but I feel like I’m moving in the right direction. #authorsky #booksky #writersky #fictionwriters #books

Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing you abundance and joy. #thanksgiving #booksky #authors #writersky #gratitude

Just received my first request for my full manuscript after sending queries to 18 agents. Fingers crossed. Wish me luck! #booksky #authors #querying #authorsky #writingcommunity #fiction

How much time do you spend thinking about your WIP versus actually writing it? #booksky #authorsky #writingcommunity #writingprocess #fiction

It’s definitely not easy. That much I can say. #booksky #writersky #authors #writing #fiction

Finally getting around to reading this epic tale. #booksky #fiction #bookrecs #reading

Barbara Kingsolver’s Demon Copperhead just might be one of the most well-drawn characters of contemporary fiction. #fiction #booktok #bookrecs #bookreviews #demoncopperhead

We’ll see how long I hold out! #querying #booksky #authorsky #authorlife #writingcommunity

Started querying agents today. Onward! #booksky #authors #writersky #agents #authorlife

Pushing through my writer’s block. #writersky #amwriting #booksky #authorlife

Feeling blocked in a big way tonight.

Only 22% in on my Kindle but already loving Murray’s writing style—so raw, authentic, and insightful. #booksky #reading #bookrecs #fiction

Found another great place to work out in Park Slope, Brooklyn, @gowanusfitness. Friendly staff, awesome space. My new go-to when visiting family! #fitness #strength #authorlife #fiction #books #amwriting #booksky #authorsky

Milk Bar, great coffee shop in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Sleep, eat, write, workout, repeat! #amwriting #fiction #writingcommunity #authorlife #booksky @milkbarbrooklyn

From stuck to stoked. Coming out of a pesky spell of writer’s block on my second novel. First book is almost ready for querying. Need to focus. #authorsky #booksky #amwriting #authorlife #writersblock #inspiration

I’d planned to begin drafting my second novel but some family stuff has come up and I can’t seem to get in a flow. #writersblock #booksky #authorlife #persistence

I hope you’ll wish me luck. 🍀 #authorlife #publishing #writingcommunity #agents #booksky #authorsky #books #fiction

Need comps for my query letter for my debut novel, Lake Amanda., contemporary fiction. See blurb below. All suggestions welcomed.

Pushing through last round of edits before resubmitting my debut novel to the editor who did a Critical Analysis & Review. Hopefully, the revisions are working!

I wasn’t sure I could hang for 44 seconds, but I was able to hang for one second 44 times! Baby steps. Chunking. #writer #fitness #authorlife #motivation #writersofinstagram

Still at it! On Chapter 20 of my manuscript. At least I have fewer changes with each editing pass. One more after this and that should be it…I hope. 🤞😬 #author #writingcommunity #amwriting #fiction #writingprocess #editing

I just remembered that I put a cup of water in the microwave 30 minutes ago to make some tea and forgot all about it. But I made good progress on my writing! Senior moment or in the zone? I’ll take the latter.

Stuck in editing hell! The only way out is to keep pushing through. I can do this! #authorlife #amwriting #editing #revisions #writingcommunity #booksky #fictionwriters

Revisions complete! Now editing away and enjoying an icy cold peach beverage at this cozy bookstore/cafe in a quiet part of Florence, Italy. #authorlife #booksky #writingcommunity #books #amwriting #florence #editing #authorsky

Gelato time! There’s no better place to edit my manuscript than Florence, Italy, and no better place to break from editing than my friendly neighborhood gelateria! #amwriting #florence #gelato #booksky #fictionwriters

Todo Modo Book Store/Cafe’ in Florence Italy. Welcoming vibe. Great place to read, write, and shop for interesting books. #booksky #bookshops

Arrived at the wonderful city of Florence tonight. Where is a great spot to enjoy in caffe’ and write? #amwriting #booksky #authorsky #fictionwriters #florence

Today’s read. Long flight. Two stops. All worth it! #booksky #author #fictionwriters #books
