I had a very exciting moment as a writer today…. I got my first query rejection! You can't get rejected if you never try so that email is a big deal. I channeled ADHD, I beat up imposter syndrome, I finished a novel and I SENT it. Lets do this. #querying #writer #progress

Fallstaff was too big a man to be scared of a woman wearing pink fuzzy socks, he told himself. Nevertheless his burly legs, thick with ropes of muscle and covered in coarse black hair did not seem to want to inch closer to her hammock as it swayed in the ocean breeze.“ #amwriting

He fell just shy of the #copse of trees near the well, the rattle of death filling his heaving chest. The birds fell silent. In one last painful gasp the light faded. When it returned she was there, as whole and beautiful as she’d been in life, holding out her hand. #vss365

He sent his email with all the ferocity Of a puffed up Pomeranian He’d put her in her place! She laughed and flagged it all as spam And went about her day #vss365 #pomeranian #WomensDay

A tidal pool that grips the soul An ebb and flow pulls near Sometimes a just a ripple But then a wave that breaks the weir Rarely it’s the big things, it’s more One cup where once were two It’s keeping up just breathing When all my air was you #vss365 #weir

There was time change and Monday And school and ballet There was the #rigmarole of work, A calendar to slay She could face it all, Be all she could be Once she found her whole self After all the coffee #vss365 #amquerying

Moms are in the business of Of bringing magic to the day Sometimes it’s a big surprise And sometimes it’s just play Today it’s five more minutes For a wake up that they love For sparkle toast and wind chimes At the Fairy Garden Breakfast Club #vss365

The silence seemed to stretch to infinity, aching to be broken, waiting for the first move. The static scratched for a split second before his voice flooded the deck. “Hello, Red, are you ready to surrender?” She drew the first blade. Not today. Not to him. #vss365

He’d never seen the Captain look so ladylike. A soft wind caught her gossamer gown and seemed to float with her down the stairs. It was cinched at her ample hips by the baldric that supported her weapons. Lethal and devastating— a perfect poison flower. She had to die. #vss365
