As I’m working on this YA novel, I can’t help but think of how things have changed. Where were pimple patches and period underwear when I was teen?! #5amwritersclub

Correction: 16 books! I miscounted. Math was never my strong suit 🤣
Didn’t have a chance to post Sunday but here is me and my table yesterday. I did pretty well. I sold 14 books. I think if more of my target audience had been there, I could have done better. But I did sell out of my bargain books so that was a win! I’m wearing my new writing shirt! #5amwriterclub

Draft Done! (Despite my cat’s attempts to sabotage my writing)
So last week, Ava, my cat who loves to gnaw on things, decided to bite the corner of my MacBook Pro screen.

Stepped away from my Mac for five minutes and when I came back, the screen was black. It’s not coming back on 😭 I restarted and hit the option, command, and p and r buttons. Still nothing 😭 Keyboard is lit up but screen still dark. How do I fix this? I’m devastated.
