The Husband has been out of the country for the last week and I am dying, y’all. My kids have had such a hard time, and I am not succeeding at this whole mom thing right now. 😭 Send cute pet pics and hugs!

The cedar pollen is billowing out of the trees like wildfire smoke and I am dying! Allergies are the worst.

So grateful for Pupdates from GDB that let us see what our girl would have looked like in leather! 💜 Unfortunately, after a minor surgery, Santana has had some trouble recovering and has been career-changed. She’ll be returning to us to pursue a career as a Beloved Pet. #uglydogs

Finished my developmental edits for one project, so I went right back to line edits on another. My brain is not enjoying this back and forth phase! #amwriting #writingcommunity #momswritersclub

In May, I'll be swimming one of the most beautiful Open Water courses in the world to raise funds for an amazing organization that provides Learn to Swim lessons to local children. Please support their work! #amswimming #openwaterswimming #swimming #learntoswim #swimmersofbsky #swim #usvi #stjohn

Day 24: #ValenTales #amwriting #writingcommunity

#MomsWritersClub is sitting in my car doing edits when my kid shows up because he got embarrassed and walked out of his class… 😱 So now, I’m grappling with the absolute unfairness of being on a deadline and also handling the socio-emotional development of a 7yo on the fly!

Other People: I hate when people play the follow/unfollow game. Me: Immediately gets an unsolicited DM from a new follow offering services or products I neither want nor asked for. SMASHES unfollow button. Also Me: Is it me? Am I the follow/unfollower? 😱

12 getting caught reading while I’m driving (he gets carsick): “I was not reading. I was gazing upon the words in a knowledge gathering fashion.” This kid needs a law degree. #amreading #parenting

Day 20: I’m going to switch projects because Sam/Jamie aren’t super romantic, but Abby and Scott from my fiction debut this summer definitely are! She bought tickets to surprise him at his NFC Championship game. He rebuilt his garage into a kennel for her therapy dog business. #ValenTales

Day 19: Ooh, I love this question, because attraction for me is much more mental and emotional versus physical, so I really enjoy writing characters that experience the same! (By the same token, I struggle to write realistic physical attraction.) #ValenTales #amwriting #writingcommunity

One of my favorite parts of creating new traditions around my publishing journey has been going out for celebratory drinks with my husband every time I sign a contract! Look for WICKEDNESS AND WONDER, coming this fall from @WildInkPub! #amwriting #writingcommunity

Working my way through my developmental edits and loving my editor's perspective, especially on pacing! I'm going to have to kill some darlings, but I can see why she suggested they go. Can anyone say 'Bonus material for a future newsletter?' #amwriting #amrevising #writingcommunity

#WriterHack if you don't already know: SAVE YOUR PREVIOUS VERSIONS! When doing major edits, duplicate your manuscript and save a new version EVERY TIME so you have the old ones to go back to and pull stuff from if you need it later. This is a lifesaver! #amwriting #amrevising

Y’all, I celebrate very few holidays, and almost none of them in the pop-culture way you see media portraying, so my characters don’t, either. I’ve written 2 books that go through Christmas without even acknowledging it! 😅 Do you write holidays? #amwriting #writingcommunity

Day 14: They are both far too busy to celebrate Valentine’s Day. We have robots to build, people! But Jamie definitely makes her stop just long enough to scarf down leftover pizza from the fridge. #ValenTales #amwriting #writingcommunity

Day 13: NGL, their first spicy scene is pretty much a hate-fueled banter-fest (I don’t write spicy, so this will have to do.) #Valentales #amwriting #writingcommunity

Day 12: Oh, definitely Jamie! He pretty much plans all the dates because Sam is too busy and stressed out to even take care of herself, nevermind their burgeoning relationship. Good thing he’s all in taking care of her! #ValenTales #amwriting #writingcommunity

For those following along with the Phantom of the Opera obsession, we’ve graduated to role-playing as the Phantom!
