I keep finding myself wanting to cheer up disappointed #RevPit authors. It’s hard to accept I can’t. But the truth is disappointment sucks. Yes, it’s part of querying, but that doesn’t make it easy. Just know I see you. And I’m aware of the responsibility of being on this side.

I am super homesick. Anybody have any tips for long absences? How to occupy your mind?

Do you ever lose the love you had for your novel(s) after SO many read throughs? What if it’s a series? What did you do to finish it/them?

Can’t complain... my running view isn’t so bad.

Peaceful day for some reading. #AmReading about #Writing #WritingCommunity

My packages came! Now I can make my bed more homey, and comfy. 😂 #Deployment #MilitaryMom #MilitaryLife #SimpleThings

I wanna go home. 😩😭 And it’s only starting to get hotter. 🥵

Progress is progress no matter where you are. #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #Deployment #MilitaryMom #Alatorva #TheAncientWar

I guess being here isn’t terrible if I get to see/meet Robert Irvine, eat Arabic shawarma, see awesome vehicles being fixed and get my nails done on my off day. Still can’t wait to go home. 🤣 #MissingHome #MilitaryMom #Deployment

Why do we make such a big deal about sex though? We could all literally be so much happier if we just treated it the same way we treat friendship. Got loads of friends? Great, cool, awesome. One bestie? That's fine too. A few close ones? Or none at all? Okay, not my business 🤷

Life is different here in the UAE, but I’ve learned to appreciate a few things. Silence (it’s never quiet here), sleep (hardly get any), and good food (don’t get me started). T-minus 64-ish 🤷🏼‍♀️ days left until I can come home. #Deployment #MilitaryMom

So I’m doing a thing! 😱 #FirstTattoo

Finished product! Absolutely in love. 😍😍😍

Round two! So in love with this one. #SecondTattoo 😍🥰😍

Amazing food with great company. #UAE #Sushi

Camels, Hookah, amazing Arabic food, and sand... lots and lots of sand. #UAE

Quad riding in the desert and Vietnamese pho & prawn rolls. Overall great day!

Finally made it back to my beautiful home in UTAH! So glad to finally be done and home safe with my family. #DeployedMom #Homecoming #ImDone #DeploymentStrong🇺🇸 #WeMadeIt

Why is buying a house so stressful? 🤦🏼‍♀️ This market is crap.

#NSLS Nicolle Allred @ #WeberStateUniversity - I’m most excited about my career goal - I want to #write books that resonate w/others when it comes to #MentalHealth & #ChildhoodTrauma. Being traditionally published or having a screenplay made into film is the ultimate goal!
