Another great manuscript! There are so many talented writers out there, and I'm really loving the genre bending risks people are taking. They're paying off! #writersky #writingcommunity #writer #betareader ✍️🏼📚

Just finished "There Is No Antimemetics Division" and will be taking some time before writing my review. Initial impression: compelling premise, well-written, mind-bending, and thought provoking. It was a quick read and had a very different feel than other sci-fi work I've read recently. #booksky 📚

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Who has read I Who Have Never Known Men? I'd love to hear your thoughts! #reading #booksky #bookreview 📚

I'm welcoming the emerging light and warmth of Imbolc with a candle I recently purchased while on a family trip to Sedona. It's hand carved, and I knew immediately it would be this year's candle. May this season bring gentle reflection and inspiration. 🕯💜 #imbolc #blessing

As an autistic person, I've always been fascinated by humanity, in large part because I didn't know how I fit into it. I've masked pretty effectively in the past, for sure, but it's been an adjustment figuring out my place since unmasking. I'm getting there. #writing #writingcommunity #audhd #autism

I'm #betareading a manuscript for a new client and it's SO GOOD! One of the best I've read in a while. I really hope we get to see this story published and on bookshelves one day! #booksky #writersky #writingcommunity #writing 📚✍️🏼

I am becoming water. This is a short reflection on lessons learned in 2025, and what I'm carrying with me into 2026. 💧 #newyear #lifelessons

Happy Winter Solstice! May we be grateful, and welcome the returning light ❄️✨️

I miss this view! I've been back home for a couple days now, and today I'll be opening up ECHO for the first time in weeks. I'm so thankful for the rest and rejuvenation our family trip brought. Mark my words, though: one day, I'll live where I can write with a view like this! #writingcommunity #AZ

The kids and I enjoyed outside time today. We even had some snow flurries! ❄️🌲 This week is for resting, recharging and spending time with family so I can hit the ground running on drafting ECHO when we get home. #AZ #Arizona #snowday #creativity

We don't get nearly as much rain as I'd like here in AZ, but when we do, I always stop to take photos. I've loved my walks this past week 🌧 #AZ #Arizona #rain

Vivian would absolutely say this about her and Bea. #fifrevpit #writingcommunity #writersky

Starting the day with chana masala, rice, eggs, and tea. I'm pretty sure that means today is gonna be a good one 🤤 I'm usually more of a rice, egg, nori, fish, and miso for breakfast person, but this is a close second. What was breakfast for you today?

I've never met a good person who went out of their way to belittle waiters

Time for the annual re-read! If you haven't already read Braiding Sweetgrass, you should probably fix that ASAP. Anyone have similar book you'd recommend? 📚 #booksky #braidingsweetgrass #bookrec

Some updated thoughts since I wrote about it last year. I refuse to give up my em dashes! 😤 #writing #writersky #ai 📚✍️🏼

A new poll from Data for Progress found that “voters of all parties” are open to leftist policies, and that a majority of Democratic voters polled preferred democratic socialism to capitalism “when written definitions of each are read aloud to them.” Read more: www.teenvogue.com/story/gen-z-...

My daughter had her cousin over for a sleepover, so that meant breakfast in bed! Not pictured: miso soup and fresh juice. Yummmm! What do you normally eat for breakfast? I prefer a more savory meal like this, but I know I'm not a typical American here.

I first read this right when it launched, but I've finally put my thoughts down after a second read. House of Frank is a beautiful exploration of grief, and the power of love found in true community. Have you read this one? What'd you think?? #booksky #bookreview #fantasy #cozy #witchy 📚

Remind me why I still live in Arizona

Yes, just write! Your style will emerge.

Inspired by the Writing Excuses podcast, I decided to take time to identify some of the people and works that have influenced my writing. It was a fun exercise! Why do you write the stories you write? 📚📝✏️ Check out the podcast if you haven't already: @writingexcuses.bsky.social #writer #writersky

📚 Sounds perfect to me!

Themes of oppression, power, generational trauma, and mental health always seem to make it into my work, but I rarely try to include it. It just happens 😅 The only thing I can think of that I *try* to include is strong character voice.

So, they're taking my healthcare (and libraries and countless other important things) to fund concentration camps and a criminal militia with a budget larger than most countries' militaries? Just making sure I'm not missing something.

Did you know Florida leads the nation in book bans (by a lot)? And that most of the bans come from just a handful of people? And that the books aren't "porn" as claimed, but just... books? Help Authors Against Book Bans (@aabbri.bsky.social) & @flfreedomread.bsky.social defend the freedom to read.

Cleansing my space with this precious incense burner my good friend brought home from Kildare! Isn't it gorgeous? So cute, and absolutely perfect for the cleansing cones I recently found. Ready to dive into my new manuscript again now that we're fresh! #writersky #writer #witchy #writingritual

I'm an overwriter, so trimming word count is a skill I've had to acquire 😅 I recently cut a manuscript from 120k words to <100k and want to share some tips while they're fresh in my mind. 📝📚 #writersky #writing #editing #revision
