5 minutes into a writing sprint…IYKYK. Yesterday I sent the timer for a 30 minute writing sprint and spent the first 20 minutes fixing the ball hitch on my office door.

Most people can’t tell if I’m being sincere or a smart a$$. It’s kind of a gift 😎

School was canceled today because the weather is -36 degrees 🥶 So if/when my copy of Onyx Storm arrives today, I will be channeling my inner #ronswanson.

When it’s not horrible, it’s actually pretty good!

Researching ❤️😂📚 on a sub-zero temp day. These are my recommendations for YOU. Now please send ME all your #romcom recommendations! **Bonus points if they are dual pov**

Life before writing: 😭 Life after writing: 😭😭😭

Writer edition of trying to figure out my main character.

WHY CAN’T IT BE THAT SIMPLE??

New Year, new draft! (Also, why does every new story draft feel like this is my first time writing??)

Slow and steady wins the race, right? 🐢

The gift that keeps on giving.

If you haven’t watched this show, I can’t recommend it enough. I was on a weekend writing retreat with a friend when she suggested (forced) we watch the show…while she watched me enjoy it for the first time…and it’s a decision I’ll never regret (or forget).

Actual footage 🫣 Why is this so hard?? I can wing woman ANYONE but myself.

It was a balmy 4 degrees at the MN Merry Market today! Outdoor ice games, train rides, horse drawn wagon rides, food trucks, festive music, tons of craft vendors and SANTA! It was great to get out for some fun and last minute gifts 🎄🎅🎁

I swear it looked good in my head!

“An agent? Do you really need one of those? Can’t you email an editor on your own? They take HOW LONG to get back to you?? And most of the time you don’t hear ANYTHING AT ALL?? Why are you doing this???” 🫠🫠🫠

Trying to muster up the courage to touch my laptop after weeks of ignoring it. How did I do?? I feel like this was a good first try. I’ll try again…next week 😬 Have you ever taken a break from something and then been scared to start again?

It’s a vibe, right? What’s everyone reading right now? I was in a reading slump but Phantasma by @kaylsmoon is slowly pulling me out 💀🖤🥀
