Well I knew the cold was gonna snap one of my nails off at some point...but was hoping it would've been me giving more flare while saying FUCK ICE but no... it's from moving bins into my car.

Calling all ARC readers! Look what’s up on NetGalley! www.netgalley.com/catalog/book...

I somehow ended up with extra cream cheese... so is that a good omen on a full moon? 👀

It's an attempt to editing today...coffee should help ...fingers crossed. #booksky #indieauthor

Hey I actually got some writing done today... go me ☕️👍🏻

To slowly wake up with coffee and decide to write or read today...probably both we'll see which occurs first

To say I'm tired of capitalism and its hold on everything is an understatement ... 🙃

Let's do a re-intro, shall we? 🩷💙💜 #booksky #writers

The ice will melt and spring will come again. #abolishice

I swear I'll remember this app exists more than just every other month 🙃 Btw I met both writing challenges last month 👍🏻 32 day writing streak 😳

Somehow in the chaos of my life I decided to be in two writing challenges this month... Ehh I always do better on a deadline and we can blame college for that

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

And once again reminded why I'm not really on threads. 😑

I may just stay up past midnight to listen to the TS new album...cause the dopamine I am CRAVING for in ANYTHING to help fight this depression episode and dread is HEAVY. My brain is just yearning for Something so I don't slide back to the deep end. *deep breath* So yeah it's a bad brain day🫤

Thank goodness I get a text notification the day before my therapy session...cause I couldn't remember which day and forgot to write it down a month ago 😭

Last prompt!😱 I'd like to share part of the book playlist! Music helps inspire me ALOT in writing from moods, scenes, to characters personalities. Whirlwind is a PERFECT song for the FMC & love interest 🖤 #PitchDis

Who’s ready to send in their #PitchDis entry this week?! Here are a few things to remember after you hit submit.

I know it's late 😅 #PitchDis prompt! My favorite thing is my FMC's personality and how she clashes with the love interest. The tension & learning about each other is my fave from the snarky remarks, banter that goes from agitated to playful...just all of it 🥰

#PitchDis Halloween theme prompt! Straight up my FMC wouldn't dress up😅 BUT she would have plenty of candy for the kids with options. (Her best friend would dress up as a famous country singer probably)

#PitchDis prompt! Writing alone or with others? Depends on my mood. And who with. There's some folks where we can get a really good writing session in. And others where I'm not getting anything done 😂 And sometimes you just need to be left alone with your characters

I know many of you will be preparing your #PitchDis pitch over the weekend, so here's a list of what you'll need for the event and a couple of reminders.

#PitchDis prompt .. How I came up with the name? I thought it'd be funny. And since my FMC loves older country music, well... Jolene just felt fitting, ya know? 😂

I know it's late...was busy 😅 #PitchDis next prompt! Either to continue with western romance or going back to paranormal romance. Probably. Maybe. Highly likely. Can you tell I'm not entirely sure yet, and a pantster in life?😂

Ohhhh favorite book! Hmm... I'd have to say "Perfect Imperfections" by Mariah Ankenman (OCD rep) There's also animal puns! #PitchDis

#PitchDis prompt- Shout out time! I'd say my best friend, who's been a great critique partner/editor for my current contemporary book series. But would also have to say my sister, who's been my go to for critique & feedback for my paranormal books. 💜

Who loves fake dating and the best friend’s brother tropes? Then do I have a book for you! The first book in my Jackson Family Distillery series, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, is on S*A*L*E* right now! books2read.com/u/br9JeY

#PitchDis prompt day 13! You said emojis?! Okay! 🐴🐶🐄🤠🚖🩺🩻🍻🧑🏼‍💻

#PitchDis prompt day 11 Fave secondary character... Would the pitbull service dog count? Do dogs count??👀 I feel like they do.

Next prompt for #PitchDis! Yea and no. Other western romances did help inspire, but in what I DIDNT want to have and where I could flip the script a little. It became more of "what am I not seeing that I want more of?" That & having grown up in the country, thought it was time to write a western🧡

Day 9 of prompts! For the first time in my books, yes there will be a pet! And multiple!🥳 I've been very excited for this, and it was great writing pets with their own personalities 💜 #PitchDis

Next prompt for #PitchDis Depends on the manuscript honestly. When I first started writing, I would underwrite A LOT. But the past two novels I've had to cut a lot due to accidentally adding WAYY too much 😅

Good morning and it's prompt day 7! #PitchDis Favorite writing spot? A coffee shop where my best friend works. I get to see her, have background noise to help Work, and of course coffee. It's also just a wonderful shop altogether ☕️💜
