Editor, writer (of the copy and romance fiction varieties), and all-around word nerd. ❤️🌈 Queer, neurospicy, reluctant vegan (lactose intolerant vegetarian + eggs? in this economy?)
August is Romance Awareness Month, which I totally didn't know was a thing. (It is also National Brownies at Brunch Month, which is less relevant to my social media presence but still something I plan to celebrate.)

In the spirit of Romance Awareness, here are a handful of book recommendations.

#TipTuesday: Take breaks.

Give yourself permission to step away—and preferably before you hit burnout levels of stress.

This tip is also my way of saying I'm going to be a little quieter on social media this month and next. 😉 Happy summer break! Find me by the wave pool.

Client Highlight: Midsummer and Mycelium by Megan Landon

Celebrate the summer solstice with this quick read set in a magical world that houses cedar nymphs and mushroom sprites. An extra-spicy story with a dash of fated mates.

And her next story, Botany and Brujería, comes out on June 24th!

#TipTuesday: Tricky Hyphens

There are some hyphenated words that always throw me, a professional editor, off. Including:
double-check
air-conditioning
hard-on
heads-up
single-handedly
Wi-Fi
off-season

What hyphenated words trip you up?

The number one tip for hiring an editor—shop around. Do price comparisons, look at portfolios and testimonials, and (most importantly) get sample edits. The sample is good for you and the editor—you can both evaluate whether their style is the right fit for your project.

Sometimes, editing is knowing when to look something up. Use the resources available to you! It's okay to not have Merriam-Webster and the Chicago Manual of Style memorized.

#TipTuesday: First drafts are meant to be rough.

Don't worry about getting it perfect the first time you put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). You can always revise later—but there won't be anything to revise without putting the words on the page first!

Quick question for you, friends—why do you write?

I write as a creative outlet, as a way to process my feelings about *gestures around widely*, and to entertain (myself, at the very least; ideally others are entertained as well). What motivates you?

Tip Tuesday – Be gentle with yourself. If you're like me, you might forget to take care of yourself when you're in the zone. Hit pause. Go for a walk, eat a snack, do yoga, whatever feels good to you. You just might feel better after.

Tip Tuesday – Write it down! Got a random idea? Think your characters want to talk more in that scene? Write it all down. It's often easier to edit extra stuff out than it is to shoehorn new stuff in.

Tip Tuesday – Idioms: Could you care less?

Another commonly misused idiom is the phrase "could/couldn't care less." If you are trying to say something doesn't matter at all, the correct phrase is "couldn't care less."
