What’s your comfort book? You know, the one you’ve read at least twice and reach for again when you are stressed.

We just keep on living don’t we? The everyday grind, the rage and ruin that of
the every day life. We go to cafes and eat, maybe see someone we know in passing. We say hi, we wave and smile, and we don’t know. We don’t know what someone might be. +

What the internal turmoil, or joy, of that passing life we see. We go about our own routine, see our people, love our blessed gifts and hopefully see those around us a little brighter, a little better before the grind pulls us under again. #musings

Do you have words or phrases that you have discovered get used waaaayyyy too often in your writing? Apparently I have an obsession with starting sentences with “Of course” and adding emphasis to words by putting “really” in front of them. 🤦♀️

You guys (and gals and everyone in between)!!! My beta reader came back with her notes on my first book. It has helped so much! New viewpoints, as a reader not a writer, have added clarity I didn’t even know I needed. Thank you my friend!

After a terrible long slump, my writing is going so well lately. I’m deep diving into Book 2. The two main characters have formally met each other. It can only go up (and down) from here!

Whew! I spent 45 minutes today researching the funeral practices of the Catholic Church today for a 4 page scene of my second book. Who knew?

Had an interesting convo with my kids yesterday. They know I’ve been writing a book. I told them I had finished it. My son (15yo) asked if he could read it. I was shocked tbh. I said of course he could read it after I finish editing it. He looked at me for a moment +

I finished it! Somehow, someway, my book is finished! I’m stepping away for a few days before I start editing but it feels so amazing to say, “I wrote a book!!!” #TheTimeGiver

Today I’m breaking my own heart with what’s going down in my book. I hope this gets better. I know it’s my job to fix it but damn. #TheTimeGiver

I reached that point in my book today. You know the one. Where everything starts tumbling down like an avalanche to the culmination of “The End”. I hope this book comes out as good as it is in my head. #TheTimeGiver

Have you ever tried describing a painting within the context of your writing? Art interpretation is of course subjective. Now I’m trying to write a description based on how my character would see it 😣

Holidays and spending time with others is cramping my writing time. Trying to remind myself that this is fodder for future writing.

Writer friends: When querying did you do it all on your own or get an agent first? #WritingCommmunity

Saw a lady with a corgi on a leash walking down the center of the walking street in my town and reading a paperback while walking. I whispered to myself “You are my people”. Sort of regret not saying hi

Writers: Where do you get your character descriptions from? Do you have a person in your head or do they manifest as parts of people you know? How does the vision of your character manifest on paper?
