First draft of my WIP done tonight! I’ve been writing since I was eight and this is by far the fastest I’ve ever completed a first draft…and I had so much fun with it! Revisions and word cuts start soon, but tonight, we celebrate! #WIP #WritingCommunity #writerslife

Just ran across a note in my phone from a year ago about two characters in my WIP and possible plot for them…and it’s NOTHING like what ended up in the book 😂 #WIP #revising #WritingCommunity #writerslife

Working on revisions and I just verbally started explaining why I did something in the manuscript…not sure who I’m explaining it to…I’m the only one here and I already know why I did it…🤔 #WIP #revision #WritingCommmunity #writerslife

When you have to get your word count down and you end up hacking an entire scene… #WIP #writerscommunity #writerlife

Thought I hated revising, but I’m actually having fun with it. Know what I wasn’t wrong about hating? Writing query letters😵‍💫 #WIP #Revising #writerscommunity #writerslife

“You’re my soda pop. My little soda pop.” #IYKYK

Spend a year writing a book, thinking the whole time it’s pretty good…start revising…after reading it like eight times it starts sounding like this…

Magic is illegal. Dealing is a lucrative black market trade, & street kids make livings Running for dealers. When Pim is caught & goes undercover in a Magic Lord’s house to work off his crimes, he’ll learn there are more dangerous facets to Magic than he ever knew. #questpit #Q

Me, singing…“Ew, no. Not that song. That’s from the bad episode of Supernatural.” Wait. THE bad episode? As if there’s only one? 🤔 😂 Still, if you’re a fan, you might know which one I mean… #Supernatural #Winchesters #iykny

Not me pulling up to my kids’ daycare and having to take a minute to compose myself in the car because Suzanne Collins just broke my heart for the ???th time 😢 #sunriseonthereaping #readingcommunity

The two biggest ambitions (aka “lies) in my life: my TBR list and my TBC (To Be Cleaned) list. #readingcommunity #WritingCommunity #writerslife

So many people out there grieving “It’s been my honor,” meanwhile I’m over here sobbing in the corner, gutted and destroyed by “Sure. I’ll be your sister.”… #readingcommunity #sunriseonthereaping

When the word processor tries to correct your grammar…but it’s wrong… #WritingCommunity #writinglife #Revising

Apparently there are people who don’t always have at least a dozen thoughts going through their mind simultaneously…my coworker confirmed this because, apparently, she’s one of them… Me - What’s that like? Her - It’s f-ing awesome!

Me, a discovery writer by nature, getting excited about my new book idea…wanting to try at least a skeleton outline before diving in, but not great at it…just has a bunch of bullet points labeled “feral thoughts” and it’s the most accurate description ever 😂 #WritingCommunity

When you think, is it in your voice? Is it in ANY voice? #WritingCommunity #writerslife

Me - sits down at work and turns computer on. Computer, immediately - “File not found.” M - “I didn’t even ask you for a file. Stop being so negative.” #Fridays

Santa and Christmas are not things that exist in Azavyir…BUT, if they did, this is how my four favorite characters would react to the idea of St. Nick…Merry Christmas from The Boy with Magic in His Bones crew! #writerslife #amquerying

When it’s day 3 of being iced in, and you’re trying to figure out: is this today’s coffee…or yesterday’s…or…? #CoffeeTime
