I buy craft supplies at the rate of someone who has free time.

When I write something that makes me cackle and kick my feet, my dearest hope is it also makes readers cackle and kick their feet.

I decided to encourage our animal friends to not be afraid of the vacuum by giving them treats. Unfortunately, now when I drag out the vacuum cleaner, I become the Pied Piper.

When you're in a rush, and an old acquaintance doesn't recognize you? Chef's kiss.

The worst part about writing is always getting pulled away to do something annoying, like go to your day job.

We toil at work until we're granted time to toil at home. When is there time for art? For joy?

Me every December: How much chocolate do we need to fill seven Christmas stockings? Why was this math never covered in school?

Normal romance: The love interest has inner demons, and may be a bit jealous, but he's a good man who learns from his mistakes.

Novels my friends and I write: The love interest is a hot asshat. You hate that you want to do him. You do him anyway. He does not change, but he sort of grows on you.

Call me old-fashioned, but I have no idea how to write a book without painting myself into a corner and then whining for two months about how there’s no way to fix it. #pantser

Rotting pumpkins aside - at what point does being late to take down the Halloween decorations officially turn into being early?

There's so much advice about how to write faster, but what if the secret is just to have more free time? That's not something I can control. 😂

Shoveling words into my WIP today. Whether the castle I ultimately build with them is made of sand or manure remains to be seen. #romancelandia

Writing is the ultimate and unlimited choose-your-own adventure. I shouldn't be trusted to make these decisions without supervision. #Romancelandia

My reader group on FB convinced me to write a book about chefs, knowing full well I've melted TV dinner trays. So many years together - how did I never guess they secretly despised me? #Romancelandia

I'm already at 22k on this book and only about 24 hours have passed in the story. Why am I so longwinded? Trying to decide when to start skipping ahead is the worst. #pantser
