Finished #hourofthewitch during travel to a wedding. Phenomenal read. Finished it in two days. Loaded #hummingbirdsdaughter for the flight back. Thanks to Janice Obuchowski for the rec!

Somehow one of my characters is into Pablo Neruda’s poetry. So I had to look up some of Pablo Neruda’s poetry. And now I’m like … this is some good $&@%. #amwriting

Great time last night at Vintage Books’ first ever local Austin Author book fair. Great to meet other writers and creatives! #AustinAuthors #AustinBooks #ATXWriters #AmWriting

Working on my new spinoff. Almost feels like cheating. No new world building and many of the same characters.🤣 Anyone else feel like spinoffs/sequels = writing on easy mode? #5amwritersclub #amwriting #arxwriters

Donny woke up earlier than usual and is whining while I write. 😂 Anyone else have impatient pets in the AM? #5amwritersclub #amwriting Here he is, with his, “Time for a walk!” face.

Writers 🤝 archaeologists Digging through layers of old Google Docs trying to recover something brilliant we definitely wrote and absolutely deleted. 😭 **How do you guys keep track of your different versions?** #amwriting #5amwritersclub #atxwriters

First time at Smushed Blueberries’ open mic. Grateful to all the local organizations that foster such a collaborative creative space. #writingcommunity #amwriting

Calling all authors who narrated their own audiobooks! What are some tips you wished you’d known prior to starting? What should I know?! #WritingCommunity #writerscommunity #AuthorsOfTwitter

Finished Beloved by Toni Morrison last night. Left some residue because I woke up this morning with a desire to write by hand. Came out a little more poetic today. #amwriting #amreading
