My kids are home for e-learning because of the bitter cold, and I’m attempting to stick to my writing/work routine for the day. Let’s see how this goes! #AmEditing

This week’s #CreativeWriting goals:
* Edit four chapters of my NA ms
* Edit two poems / songs that are key to my work-in-progress
* Surprise myself and write something new… because when I’m in editing mode I still need to take time to write!

What are your creative goals this week?

I need book recs for "research" :)

I really enjoyed Mark Hoppus's biography "Fahrenheit-182" & I want something similar:
* "Written" by musicians from late 90s-early 00s
* About the punk rock, alt rock, pop punk, and/or indie rock
* Bonus: background on their song-writing process.

Whatcha got?

Since my book is heavily music-themed, I'm attempting to write my own lyrics & the results are a bit... all over the place. Anyone have any tips for me for songwriting!?! #AmWriting #WriteSky #WritingCommuity

Do you title your chapters? I'm toying with titling mine in my NA manuscript, but, historically, I never do.

I don’t do New Year’s resolutions… but I do choose a word of the year.

That word becomes a touchstone of sorts. Here’s how I choose mine: www.oopsanddaisies.com/why-i-choose...

Why I Choose a Word of the Year Over New Year’s Resolutions - Oops and Daisies
Forget New Year's resolutions. Here is why a 'word of the year' can be significantly more powerful.

Did I have 3 journals open in my lap the other day? Why yes I did. I normally only have 2 journals at a time (my bujo & my writing journal) but I’ve started plotting a new idea… & it needs its own journal! 😅🙌

Can’t wait to share more about it with you when it’s ready!

This week’s creative writing goals: edit five chapters of my NA manuscript, write two poems, and send out two queries.

What are your goals this week? Let’s hold each other accountable! #WriteSky #WritingCommunity @sparksandscribbles.bsky.social

Mostly cozy! Most of my NA contemporary takes place in music venues/restaurants and out with friends. Not gonna lie; it was inspired by my early 20s and punk rock music.
Settings are foundational to our stories. What inspired the setting of your story? Is it cozy or cold? #AmWriting #Writing #Writer #Author #BookSky #AuthorSky #AmQuerying #AmEditing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

I launched my in-person journaling workshop today!

We’re harnessing the power of journaling to unlock our voices & stories. Week 1 was all about different ways to journal that I have personally used many, many times over the years.

I’m hosting my first in-person journaling workshop starting tomorrow (it runs for 6 weeks!), and this week’s theme is “inspiration.” So, I want to know: where do you find inspiration for your creative projects? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #AmJournaling

I loved the idea behind a bullet journal, but I didn’t think I had the time to make one of my own… so of course, I turned it into my own (which is, TBH, kind of the point with a bujo). Here’s my “non-Pinterest” process of making one: www.oopsanddaisies.com/how-to-bulle... #WriteSky #BulletJournal
How to Bullet Journal Work-at-Home-Mom Style - Oops and Daisies
Let me preface this post by saying this: when I saw beautiful bullet journal designs on Pinterest I thought, Cool idea, but I don’t think I’d EVER have the time to do that! Even so, the trend of bulle...

My #WritingGoals for the next 90 days? 1) Finish edits on my NA contemporary & get the book to alpha readers. 2) Finish drafting my poetry collection. 3) Keep querying my YA historical fantasy. What about you? Come join us at @sparksandscribbles.bsky.social for some accountability/inspiration!
Ready for our 12-week #WritingChallenge? To start, let's share where we want to be at the end of this challenge, because it's easier to make progress when you can envision where you want to be. What are your writing goals for the next 90 days? #Writing #Writer #Author #BookSky #AuthorSky #WriteSky

Why yes, I did write an editorial letter to myself.

Before I dive into developmental edits for my own NA contemp book, I wrote a letter similar to the ones I write for my clients. I always start off with what I like about a manuscript, and, not gonna lie, it felt pretty nice to compliment myself!

I filled six journals in 2025… And most days? I only wrote in these journals for 15 minutes a day! (With the occasional late night hour-plus sprint).

Do you journal? Why or why not?

Not gonna lie - I like being busy, some might say “crazy busy.” But this time of the year — between Christmas and New Year’s — always reminds me of the power of slowing down: www.oopsanddaisies.com/in-praise-of...

With my kids home on winter break, I’m in 100% artist mode. We’re doing art projects, making vision boards, and more.
Next week, I’ll return to CEO mode and dive into client projects as well as growing my blog/writing & editing business.

What mode are you in this week? #AmCreating

I feel like I’m constantly thinking about my writing and my characters!
Hope you had a wonderful holiday! Happy last Friday of December from #SparksAndScribbles with our quote of the week! Do you ever worry about writing when you're not writing?

I kept telling myself I’d work on my creative writing when I had more time… and then, one day, I realized there would never be enough time… unless I allowed space for it. #WriteSky #AmWriting #Poetry #ShortStories #Writing

What am I doing over “winter break”? Reading through my New Adult contemporary manuscript and writing myself an editorial letter!

My daughter told me I’m “not trendy” today… and I don’t think she’s ever given me a better compliment. 🤣
