What a cover! I mean, how could a child pick up this book and not want to read it?

Thanks to Writers of Warrensburg for inviting me to your book signing and conference! I loved speaking on writing better beginnings.

The trick is you just say fuck it, whatever, in any situation

There are SO many common mistakes you can catch in your writing before handing your story over to an editor. And learning how to self-edit effectively will dramatically sharpen your craft. Here are 5 things to look for on your next pass through your WIP. 👇

I'm a keynote speaker at the Writers of Warrensburg Writing Workshop on Saturday! If you're in the KC area, roll up! It'll be fun! writersofwsbg.weebly.com

Last year, I needed to purchase a vehicle, so I posted on Threads and asked whether I should buy a Jeep or a Rogue. I got 900 replies, mostly from men, telling me that I was a troll, an idiot, and should probably just 💀. TBH, I've been kinda scared of Threads ever since.

"Vampires don't have reflections" is *exactly* the kind of lie a vampire would spread around.

Did a lightning bolt write this?

You're not running out of time. You have to do this forever

Sorry I can’t hang out rn I am by the water

I just got back from SaSSy in St. Louis over the weekend! I had a great time meeting readers and other authors. Here are a few pictures I took. What's your favorite book event you've attended?

I meet people. “Oh, you’re the writer?” they ask. “Yes,” I say, always with a smile but shifting my stance because you never know. “What are you working on?” they ask. “An award-losing novel,” I say. They don’t laugh. I don’t laugh. No one laughs. The silence grows teeth. We all turn into cake.

One of the highlights of my year was being published in Superpresent!

Loved having Jessica on the show! 💗 Talking to other creatives is one of my favorite things! 💗

I LOVED interviewing Professor Ford! youtu.be/hjsNihWsrkk?...

reviewers who say a book is "unputdownable," "couldn't put it down," "you won't be able to put it down," etc.: you are just making me stronger. i have successfully put down every single book i ever picked up

the phrase "lipstick on a pig" has always inspired a deep sadness in me. I think of the pig, looking forward to her big night out, and I bring myself to the verge of tears.

My new book hit #8 in the free US Amazon store. 😭 Thank you so much to everyone who grabbed a copy of You’re My Favorite. (If you want one, you can still get it! >>> Grab it here >>> amzn.to/4xdWTs8 )

Echo stole a lollipop and then contemplated his existence.

Just put yourself out there, the more embarrassing it feels, the better you're doing, I swear

Happy Pride 💕

One of many reasons I prioritize shopping local. #LFK #LuckyDog #ShopLocal

If you’re looking for something to do tomorrow before the big #kubaseball game, come down to LFK for the Pride Parade and festival! It’s always a lot of fun and the people of LFK go all out

Lindsey was a DELIGHT. We talked about Pilgrims 2.0 from @acrebooks.bsky.social! youtu.be/aMOply6uZqY?...

Happy Story Time: My mom rarely acknowledges my job as "real." She'd rather I be an English teacher. So when she thanked me for being an editor because the book she was reading on Kindle had a bunch of basic grammar errors... It was a big moment for me 🥺 editors are needed and appreciated #editing

So still a 10? #booksky

I went to my first writing conference this spring. Here's some thoughts... margerybayne.medium.com/are-writing-... #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingConference #AWP

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Me: "I'll just look through the folder of old stories to think of an idea for the new one. Shouldn't take long." Me, A Long Time Later: "Oh I remember this one! That was a lot of fun; I should read it again too. Oh, and THAT one!" Also Me: 🙄
