Woke up with pretty much an entire short story in my head this morning. Anyone else get some of their best creative ideas while they're technically *asleep* 😂

Read an ice-apocalypse thriller on an 80 degree day? Yes, please!

It's a post-apocalyptic female buddy western, set in a catastrophic, sudden ice age. Perfect for summer reading!

Buy North Woods today!

The water loves me
Just the way I am
It flows over every inch
Leaving no part untouched
By its adoration.

Yes, I wrote this poem in the shower 😂

And guess what?
The water loves you, too.

Happy Friday, all 🖤

Actual snapshot of the inside of my brain right now as I attempt to edit a 115k novel in three weeks so I can send it to a *real* editor in June
