Just got a chance to read both of your serials out and I’m hooked! Love the suspense you were able to build and found myself gasping aloud at some parts! Can’t wait to read more!

Yes I would love a Big Carnivore too! I’m thinking about making one just for fun! I live locally as well! It was fun to imagine a magical world laid over our own!

My first short story released today and it feels amazing and weird at the same time that people have read my work. It’s out there free for anyone to see. And I just had to go about a normal day with responsibilities. #writingcommunity #booksky #authorsky

I cannot believe I’m about to have a story available for people to read soon 😳. It’s not perfect, just a fun free story to stretch my writing muscles and expand the world building on my main novel, but I’m proud of it and hope people will enjoy it as much as I do 🥰 #booksky #writersky #amwriting

Being a writer and a dreamer means one minute I’m writing and the next I’m searching the internet for custom mugs because “wouldn’t it be cool if I had a mug with the logo of the shop I just made up?” #writingcommunuty

As an artist I’ve been dealing with a heck of a lot of self doubt when it comes to my digital art lately. I’m rusty and not confident in my art style. I go through bouts of loving my art but I don’t feel like it’s good enough to promote my writing. #artcommunity #digitalartist #writingcommunity

Honestly couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make a whole emoji scene. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I bit the bullet and finally made an author account on TikTok. Do I know what I’m going to post yet? No. But did I think it wise to at least claim my name? Yes! What kind of bookish videos draw you in? #booksky #booktok #writersky

I’m having such a hard time letting go of this scene I just deleted from my draft. It was fun but didn’t serve the plot. 😩 #writersky #authorsky #writingcommunity

How it feels having wasted two days of writing time only to realize it wasn’t moving forward the plot. Goodbye 2k words I guess.
