STEALING THE SCORE is out today! I had so much fun writing this World Cup-themed soccer mystery; can’t wait to share it! ⚽️ buy a signed copy: bit.ly/StheSPB

Every time I start a new novel, I realize how much I learned finishing the last one… immediately followed by the suspicion that I’ve suddenly forgotten HOW TO WRITE A BOOK. Please tell me this is a universal experience? #WritingCommunity

Some mornings the only plan is coffee and one more page. Today is one of those days. I'm attempting the opening of chapter 2. Chapter one was easier. What are you working in today? #AuthorLife #WritingCommunity

Does anyone else feel like the hardest part of bring a writer isn't the writing, it's the waiting? How everything moves fast, then painfully slow. Feedback arrives at once. Agent responses are agonized over. Even writing comes in spurts (at least for me!) #WritingCommunity

a working mom, writing time is precious. I've learned to make the most of the hours I find. Sometimes words flow, sometimes they don't. I've learned to celebrate both. So I'm rewarding this 300-word morning with a pastry. Who else celebrates little victories? #5amwritersclub

What are editors looking for rn?! Booktok has me confused! Romantasy is dying OR thriving. Gothic is in, unless it's TOO horrific. Horror is a hard maybe. YA is back, sometimes. Women's fiction, no, romance, wait...THRILLERS! Anyone else feel lost, or is it just me!? #writers

Where are the writers that have an agent, went on submission, and things didn't go as planned!? I want to be friends! #amwriting #writerscommunity

Wonderful query advice!

Just came back from #AWP writing conference. I learned so much, but some publishing advice feels contradictory! Be original/comp familiar. Follow rules/don't be formulatic. Here's my take: write the best book YOU can! Write what brings you JOY! And keep moving forward #amwriting

Publishing isn't a race and you're not falling behind. 🫶

A nice reminder!

I don't usually share my tiktoks in this realm BUT this is too relatable not to share #amwriting #TikTok #AuthorLife tiktok.com/t/ZThKCjjE5/

Sharing a pitch event!

Just wanted to share!! I learned SO MUCH from pitch events!

Convince me read your book. That's it. Do your best. If you do, I'll read it next month and leave a review.

The " don't write like AI" advice starting to feel circular. I love em dashes. I use them. But now they're a "sign of AI". So I switched a few in my WIP out with :/;/,/. Now, colons and semicolons are "signs of AI" too. What am I supposed to use then?! Emojis!?

As writers, hurry up and wait is part of the process. I'm waiting for agent notes rn (and trying not to spiral). What does everyone do to keep themselves on track? I'm 15k into my new wip, so that's a positive, but the need for notes is lurking 👀 #amwriting #WritingCommunity
