I was asked how I pictured the villages, the forest, the homes, the characters... some of the anesthetics I used when writing #theseerscurse #imagination #AmWriting #booksky #BookRecommendations #indiewriter #readingcommunity #writingcommunity #reading #writing available on Amazon & Barnes & Noble ❤

Editing... the pain and suffering of a lossed loved one... can it ever really be captured into words? #editing #amwriting #remembering #booksky #indieauthor

Now onto the painstaking process of #editing #firstdraft #iamwriting #indieauthor #writingcommunity #selfpublished #booksky #duology #book2 #writing #bookcommunity #readingcommunity #reading

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to see you. ...I'll patiently wait.

If you love a book, write a nice review. It gives the author encouragement for bad days when they want to take up scorpion petting. - @lianabrooks.bsky.social #WriterSky #BookSky #KidLit

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

I'm just floored by this review from @bookshelfie.bsky.social @ book-shelfie.com/review/the-s... ...It's made my whole weekend! I loved how they caught sight of bringing history & fantasy to the page, which was my sole intention when I was writing it! #thankyou #selfpublished #indieauthor #booksky

Went to one of an #indiebookstore today #talkinganimalsbookstore saw this sign and thought so cute 😍 so adorable inside and can't wait to go back! #bookstore #fundayout #timetounplug have you bought a book lately?

Books are like seeds. They can lie dormant for centuries and then flower in the most unpromising soil. (Carl Sagan) #writingcommunity #indieauthor #BookRecommendations #writing #booksky

I may not be rich and famous. But thats not why I started writing. I started writing because I wanted to tell stories. Good or bad, I wanted to create worlds on paper not just in my head. #writingcommunity #AmWriting #booksky #writers #indieauthor

#ShamelessSelfpromoMonday I loved writing this novel. Being able to share it with friends and family was a journey. A journey I have continued in it's sequel that is nearly done... #duology #writingcommunity #readingcommunity #booksky #BookRecommendations #AmWriting #YA #historicalfantasybooks

Hit a wall and forgot where I left off 🤦🏻‍♀️ The struggle is real my friends! #iamwriting #writingcommunity #booksky

I know a lot of ppl hate these little guys~but there's just something deeply fascinating about this ancient bug! They're beautiful & listening to them is the closest thing to nostalgia I can get when thinking about childhood summers~camping & fishing w/my parents #memories #cicadas #summer #peaceful

Ever wake up & think... what if I just disappeared? Stopped working & just focused on me. What I need... my family needs. Not about doing that 9-5 & dealing with everyone else's problems. I just wanna be a wife, a mother, a writer... & forget about eveything else! #overit #exhausted #dailylife #old

An immortal death or a mortal death... that is the question i am stuck at now... #writingcommunity #almostdone #writing #booksky

I see the end in sight! And it looks amazing! I am so happy with how this book has taken shape over the last few months! Only a few more chapters to go and it's onto editing 🥲 #selfpublished #writing #writingcommunity #readingcommunity #writerslife #booksky

Rune's journey... deep conversations... revelations... experiences... so much has happened in so little time. But she hasn't seen nothing yet! #sequel #writingcommunity #bookcommunity #inspirational

I laughed so hard I cried... cause its too true! #writingcommunity

My villian is definitely type 2! And I am pretty sure everyone at the table wants to be the one to kill him! Oh the drama... #writing #sequel #writingcommunity

I absolutely hate the chapter I have been working on... I like what it contains, but hate the way its said. And I think I'm starting to lose my mind #rereading and #rewriting 🥴 #writingcommunity

My current mood.... 😕

I donated several copies to local libraries today... what happened to the days when libraries were filled w/desks where you sat & studied in silence. Where shelves were so high you had to use a ladder to reach the top & the card catalog to find the book... it was like hunting for treasure!

3/4 of the way done... and I think I want to change the storyline of the MMC ... which means I would have to backtrack to the halfway point of the book 🥴 and rewrite every chapter forward ... #writingdilemma #writingcommunity #sequel

🤣🤣🤣

#WIP to fellow authors ~ have you ever had a WIP, & midway you have an epiphany for more books? My current WIP is part 2 ~ but I have 4 more books I have come up w/in the last month 🥴 & am struggling to stay focused to finish my current... #writingcommunity #lovetowrite #somanyideas #selfpublished

Website is finally up 💕 @ aknikole.com ~ now working on part 2 of the Reign of the Twin Kings. Following Rune ~ how will she accept & grow w/the prophecy hanging in the balance? Have a lot of fun #writing this one...very different from book 1 #selfpublished #writingcommunity #sequel #fantasy #YA

If you were a Disney princess who would you be??? I'll go first... my #loveofreading and #writing began at an early age... thank you Disney! #writingcommunity #authorvibes #hobbies

About my #bookreview - they mentioned the repetition of each daughter/spouse. This was intentional because the final daughter - Rune is the complete opposite. Raised by a loving but 💔 grandmother - she doesn't accept things as her ancestors did. Part 2 is drastically different! #sequel #booksky

I 💖 getting honest reviews! I did my own editing several times & also used a program to help. I've read books published from traditional publishers w/professional editors that have spelling & grammatical errors. This reviewer only found 10 out of just under 110k words. I say this is a win! #grateful

Received some copies of my book missing the color picture of a map... printing error... thinking about having a giveaway for these 🤔 any suggestions on the best way??? #booksky #newrelease #freebook #giveaway #lovetoread #fantasybooks #YA

Stuck at a turning point in part 2 of The Reign of the Twin Kings... Rune is learning more of her families past... and her future. #lostinthepages #booksky #writingcommunity #YA #fantasy #onepageatatime #lovewriting

This rings true on so many levels! Also the ending... if its just the beginning makes me so excited for the next book! Something I tried to stick with in my debut novel & its part 2 (currently drafting) #selfpublishing #booksky #YA #hookedonthebook #fantasybooks #fantasyfiction #lovetowrite

"I want to support indie creators, but I dont have the money for it." Good news! Support is not at all limited to financial contributions! Give that book a glowing review. Invite your friends to play that cool game. Hoot and holler about how much you love that movie. Hype the good shit up!

My first novel. I loved writing it, I loved reading it. And I love that I can share it with my children and not have to worry about what they learn from it... #booksky #newrelease #selfpublished

My book world. Finding myself in Brae and Lothal once again... #scenic #inspiration #location

My mother always said... reading strengthens the mind, broadens the vocabulary & keeps the imagination alive! I love to travel & explore ancient cultures - which started w/ my love of reading – earning me a degree in Ancient History… & now has brought me to my dreams of becoming an author!
