North Queen is off to the copyeditor! 146k words. Cheers, everyone 🥂 I’m going to go cry now. #WritingCommunity

5MPH over the speed limit does not qualify you to drive in the left lane. Please move over for those of us really breaking the law.

Who came up with “gubernatorial”? Who did that?

I committed to a Harry Potter movie marathon for my daughter’s birthday weekend. I thought there were only four…

Well crap. My husband has discovered that my visits to the athletic club have really been visits to the spa at the athletic club.

6YO came home from school with a BFF bracelet, thrilled. She thinks it means Both Fine Friends. I told her it really means Best Friends Forever, and now she’s not really sure about it “because forever is a long time.”

Chats I never expected to have with my editor: “Could a thousand severed heads really fit in one wagon?” #WritingCommunity

Visiting what I hope to be my trilogy’s future home Powell's Books Books. I might have hugged the shelf… and patted it a little for luck 🍀 #WritingCommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter

Trying to talk my husband into being a slice of bread for Halloween so we can make our kids be turkey, lettuce, and tomato and squish them between us…

My 6YO keeps telling me how she talks to the “manager” at school. She tells him how good the sandwiches are and that she likes apple slices. For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out who she was chatting up about her lunches. Friends, it’s the janitor. 💜

Me: *sits down at my computer, very proud of myself* All right, I just need to follow this outline that I spent so much time plotting out. Brain: Outline schmoutline.

Lyft driver as he drops me off at the airport: “Have a great flight.” Me: “You too.” 🤦🏻‍♀️

I miss working in an office, where I could pawn off my kids’ B-list Halloween candy. Now I have to eat it.

I keep telling myself and can do this author self promo thing. *random person sits next to me on the plane while I’m working on my story and asks if I’m a writer* Me: *panics* “No.”

Husband was a sweetheart and watered my plants while I was at the 20Books conference all week. Even the fake ones.

Medication: Take with food. *opens Oreos* “Doctor’s orders.”

Putting an egg on a burger makes it a breakfast sandwich. Right?

Princess Norah Andell must become a wartime queen, despite having lost her memories. In North Queen, her personal wants and loves conflict with her new duty. Highly recommended! tinyurl.com/yc8cu9xb Nicola Tyche #5star #fantasy #romancebooks #CBR
