Found wild raspberry canes on my exploration adventure today but I'm a little too early to enjoy the fruit. I feel like this is a metaphor for my anticipation for my debut novel...excitement, surprise...premature?...yet to bare fruit 😂😂😂 #WritingChat #writerslife #WritingLife

When it says "sending..." and you catch a typo: I'm a writer for goodness sakes! I know better!!! #writerproblems #bebetter #yourvyoure #cringytexting

My nightmares are badly written: Plot holes Logic problems 1-dimensional characters Borrowed material Tropes Cliches Threads dropped Insufficient exposition Still, emotionally-effective storytelling. I really know how to screw with my audience of one. #writerproblems #nightmare

I've been to more old graveyards and burial sites thus summer than I've ever been to before. This tomb is my favorite so far. #weirdthingsyounoticewhilerunning #graveyards #cemetery #writersobserve #burymelikethis

Visiting an abandoned, and some say haunted, prison. Makes me wanna write a ghost story. #photographersofinstagram #authorslife #thingswritersthinkabout #haunted #makesmewannawriterealbad

What's the love language for someone remembering the small details of what you've said or done? I think that's a love language for me #lovelanguage #speaklove #deeplistening #showyoucare #imalsointoqualitytime #couples #friendship

Me: What are your top two takeaways from this trip? My buddy: Time zones suck and merchandise is expensive. 😂😂 not what I expected but valuable takeaways regardless #TravelTuesday #thingskidssay #wisdomoftheday #traveltips

Writing poetry is jumping out of bed just as you were about to fall asleep to catch the lines that just captured you, because you know they won't hold until morning. #writerproblems #writingcommunity #Sleepy #poetrycommunity #whoneedssleep #napsforadults #writingtips

If I chased success like I chase learning, my bank account would look very different. #lifelonglearning #studentlife #nomoney #ArtistOnTwitter #writerslife #iwanttodoallthethings #Slytherin

Me: you can earn money for that doing chores My girl: as long as they aren't dad chores--moving things with spiders and such. 😂 my hubby does a lot of home maintenance and yard and shed work #chores #parenting #funnythingskidssay

My girl: you and dad don't swap spit when you kiss do you? Me: not on purpose. My girl: euw. You don't kiss like this do you? (Sticks her tongue out) Me: do you want me to lie to you or just not answer your question? My girl: maybe I'll just decide to always be single.

A sleek, dark hummingbird hovered out my window while I painted on my canvas this morning. I don't know if it was attracted to the bold strokes of acrylic, or the flowers on my summer dress, or if it followed its own reflection in the glass thinking it had found a friend. 💙magic

My short story, "I Only Read Romance," took first place in The Woolley Awards for Creative Writing last weekend at the League of Utah Writers annual Quills Conference. I write the story last year for my Patreon patrons. #Quills2021 #awardwinning #amwritingromance #romancewriters
