Romance be like… “I want to see you pleasure yourself,” he says breathlessly. Me:

Live like a local Love like a tourist

I can now say that my home pool is as clear as the DC reflecting pool.

Heart the Lover. Perfect pacing. That last line… gutted

A mother’s hope: We may have been assholes, we may raise assholes, but there’s a chance for redemption for both of us.

Meta is telling everyone that AI is the future but then rolling out a $49.99 a month plan offering access to human customer service agents. 🤔

It’s not suppose to be easy, I tell myself.

Joining Jami Attenberg #1000wordsofsummer and debating between “just writing” or choosing a theme or project. It’s like choosing between cereal for dinner or meal planning for a week’s vacation. Both are splendid but very different.

Barnes & Noble promoting Strangers as a Mother’s Day gift is a total vibe 🤔

Last year, I was thrilled to have a #10queries for my stem rom com. This year, I had 2 #10queries and was long listed for another editor for my historical romance. Maybe next year, I can keep this momentum going for #revpit 27?

It’s not just YOU! #writingsky #revpit

did you guys know that, in 1984, Don Delillo published a short story called "Human Moments in World War III" and the premise is astronauts watching nuclear conflict on earth from space. haha granta.com/human-moment...

Happy Easter, my little bunnies! 🐰

Join us at the Northwest Mississippi Writers Guild workshop April 4. It’s a free writing workshop with published authors, writing and networking with local authors across multiple genres. I’ll also be hosting a fun writing exercise! #Mississippiwriters #writersworkshop

Fave way to write (I’ll edit later)

Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest. Committing to writing 750 words a day - even if they’re trash. Words on a page. #writing

Getting invited to a “free” writing masterclass and then served a lame timeshare-style pitch on their writing method within 15 minutes is just…

SHIELD OF SPARROWS x MEDIEVAL 💍 Forced marriage 🤫 Secrets and betrayals 🥷🏼 Lady warrior 🔥 Slow burn and spicy ⚔️ Based in 1470s Hungary / Ottoman Empire #RevPitWaiting

Ooof. Just when I thought I had hardened myself to rejection…just got my first critique group pass.

I just gave the biggest sigh, to which my husband hurried over and asked what’s wrong. “I have too many books to read.” 😭

Still thinking about that #Sinners #Oscar performance.

Sinners ❤️ #Oscars

This Casablanca skit is perfection #Oscars

Truth.

As I’m now in my #RevPitWaiting era, moving on to my next project. Decided to have this supernatural romance finished by the next #RevPit.

Thinking I look fashionable this morning… teen son asks why I’m dressed like a waiter 🙄

My assigned reading for tonight’s event.

That was an incredible game

I watched Wuthering Heights. Very different from the source material but it’s definitely not a romance. At least the vibe is right. I’m sorry. I loved it. And I’m so ashamed 😂 It’s like a 1980s paperback romance.

I knew it was a long shot when I applied for the Looking Glass Writers Conference back in December.

If you have fancy cookies, I’ll show up.

Flu shot ✅ My own little act of rebellion

I’m two days into this vacation and just now realizing I’m still in the same time zone.

OK, Bunny was unhinged. I was unable to put it down. Cannot wait for Mona Awad’s sequel.

Just some light beach reading.

Cheers! Just learned that one of my favorite pieces has been accepted to a literary journal. I’m so glad it’s found a home! #flashfiction #writing

Yee’s debut book was lovely, thought-provoking, meandering in all the right ways, and a master class in interiority. Loved every second of it. Placing it on my five-star, best reads of 2025. @emergencychampagne.bsky.social #bookreview #fivestars

Found a Poe’s Tavern in Charleston, and it doesn’t have near the goth vibes I had in high school. 💀 #edgarallenpoe #literaryroadtrip

Discovered a major timeline issue I couldn’t ignore, so of course I stayed up until midnight trying to make it work 🤦‍♀️

After a driven young architect uses an AI-powered dating app to identify her true love, she instead falls for a skeptical computational biologist, forcing her to decide between love's unpredictable chemistry or data-driven matchmaking. #querying

Happy Mothers Day to the woman who sparked my love of reading and history. ❤️
