Good morning #5amwritersclub ✨ It's been awhile! Editing SoS ch.14 today. On track for Jan release! 💫 #writers: Many may be wrestling w/doubt, comparison, or the grind of “making it.” The Q of Wands reminds us: write w/joy, confidence & a little magic—connect w/that spark 🔥 #TarotForWriters

I have an indescribable urge to just write. Have always been doing it. No reason, no drive, I just go. I pretty much fell into flash fiction and became a hardcore supporter! As such, the forever WIP is Shadows & Sorcery, and my serial, The Path of Poison, which has a new chapter coming up soon!

Only your messenger words make this #bearable my wings clipped grounded half a world away. I claw at the strain, the fear in your voice that you try to mask --but it's you-- as the world you know crumbles. Stay safe tonight, my friend and all those living in fear and conflict ❤️ #vss365

I write to vent my frustrations about the world and to hopefully show people there is hope in the darkness. I'm currently drafting a dark fantasy story "The Will of the Crown" where our heroes have to stop a civil war and the tyrant who's using it to seize power.

As promised—here’s my stance on AI. I’m here for community, creativity, & conversation. I don’t use AI to write my books. See the below graphics for more. Curious—what’s your stance? 💭 #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #AmWriting

I write to give the ghosts in my head something to occupy themselves. I am currently editing a cozy scifi romance set in a space-station/manor-house where the butler falls for the secretary. I am querying an adult archeological mystery and a YA sapphic gargoyle urban fantasy.

Good morning, #writers! ☀️ Yesterday I shared a bit about me + my books. Today I want to hear from you... ✨ Why do you write?
 ✨ What’s your current project (WIP, querying, self-pub, etc.)? Can’t wait to read your responses 💛
