If you can, try to fill your life with curiosity, kindness, and wonder.
Also, books, burritos, and boozy milkshakes so strong they would make the old gods blush are pretty good too.

Anything specific I'm struggling with...balancing my energy between getting writing done and everything else that goes into being an author (marketing, networking, etc.). So I figured that participating in this more often was a good start!

Surprisingly holding up better than I thought. Haven't done as much WIP writing as desired, but I recognize that it's because I've been busy with an upcoming book release/preorders being set up.

Want to support me without spending a dime? Request my books at your library! The library pays for their copy so I still get paid and you get to read it for free! Best part, others can enjoy it after you! 🌈📚 #booksky
The covers for six of my books: The Young Necromancer’s Guide to Ghosts, Dragon Whisperer, Trueflame, Fireborn, Firebound, After the Dragon Raid. Text across the middle reads: Request them at your library! Dark grey text on a beige background that reads: Get it at the library! Did you know you can ask your library to purchase books? Free for you! Authors still get paid! Others get to read it as well! Support libraries! With a print mockup of The Dragon Next Door on a wooden shelf. #NessPromo

The great thing about creating an omnibus edition of your books for Draft2Digital: Everything is already written! Yay!

Bad news: You have to make sure you format it correctly for the scene breaks that you want...😅

Hi, I'm Claris (she/her), and my current WIP is a fantasy standalone book. I'll figure out its subgenre AFTER Draft 1 is complete! 😆

Also currently preparing for a book I'm publishing in February next month (my debut fantasy kidlit chapter book)!🧚
