Saw this at a yard sale over the weekend and couldn’t help but snap a pick thinking this would be helpful one day in writing a story on nostalgic games. What was your favorite board game when you were a kid? #boardgames #retro #writingresearch

My writing prompt book is on sale for 15% off but only through Friday May 9th, my launch day! Use code 15OFF at the time if checkout to get the discount! It is available at all major bookstores too but at reg price. #writingprompt #writerssky #authorssky #writers store.bookbaby.com/Book?bookurl...

Staring at a blank page, unable to come up with new ideas for a story? Has writers block stalled your progress? Struggle transitioning between different genres Ex: non-fiction/memoir to fiction? Frustrated your writing routine feels stale or unproductive? You may want new book! #writerssky #prompts

My release date for my #creativewriring #prompt book 150+ Prompt is happening in a few days! Hoping 25 friends and fellow authors friends from my writing groups will celebrate with me at my launch party in Maryland. If your around you’re invited! May 9th. #writingcommunity #authorssky #writerssky

Don’t mean to be silent, April has just been a busy month. Ever since I got back from the Las Vegas Conference I’ve been promoting the release of my 150+ Prompts book, doing writers meeting, planning a book launch party on May 9th, doing a flash writing contest and now it’s Easter weekend.

Excited to announce that my book launch party will be Friday May 9 at 6:30 at the Fellowship Hall at Emory UMC in Upperco, MD! There’ll be refreshments, a short talk, raffle for 3 prizes, and a Write In using prompts from my Book! #booklaunch #maryland #writingcommunity #authorssky #booksigning

At the #lasvegaswritersconference learning about key info on making your writing noticed and stories that are unputdowable. Really enjoying it!

Ugh! I’ve been revising my book blurb for a conference this week. I think I’ve officially revised it 150 times now, and yes with each revision I’m like, this is it! Then after reading it aloud I find something else doesn’t read smoothly. Can anyone else relate? #writerscommunity #authorssky

Had to share! #stevenkinglovers #horror #horrormovies

Had a great time connecting and reconnecting with my writer friends at the Cult Writer’s circle at Cult Classic Brewery in Stevensville, MD. Having a community like this is key to building confidence among writers in #writingcommunity so much so I sold two of my books.

Writer’s and author friends, here’s some info about my new book available for preorder now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble and a few other places. If you like writing using writing prompts, this book is for you! #writers #authorsky #writerssky #writingcommunity

So there’s going to be a new Frankenstein movie come November 2025. While I was thinking, really? Another? But then saw that Guillermo del Toro is directing - I’m on board now. What are your thoughts about another Frankenstein movie? #horror #horrormovie youtu.be/7o6p7OlXziY?...

I’m on cloud 9! My new book came and decided to do an #unboxingvideo to share with folks like you. #writerssky #writingcommunity #fictionwriters #authors youtu.be/rNfcUm5_2po?...
