Finally took the plunge and started reading Game of Thrones. Any other GOT fans out there?

New #blog post up! 🎉 Sharing the biggest mistakes I made in my first five months of #querying. Learn from my missteps and make your #queries stronger! #Read it now on my website. 📖 #WritingCommunity #AmQuerying #AmWriting

Anybody want a #writer buddy to trade #feedback with?

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo. “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ❤️❤️❤️

What, in your opinion, is the best #fantasy #novel ever #written? Feel free to interpret ‘fantasy’ loosely.

I’ve always loved to #read, but it’s become such a form of escapism for me over the last month. What’s your favorite comfort genre? Mine is #fantasy. Also sometimes a good lighthearted #romance.

I used to be scared to talk about my #writing— not because I doubted it, but because I didn’t want to look pathetic for chasing something too big. I got past that fear and talk about it in my new blog post, “You Might Look Pathetic.” Up in my website!

I’m curious, what was everyone’s favorite #read of 2024? I’m torn between Addie La Rue and The Witch’s Heart. ❤️ #reader #writer #amwriting #favoritebook

I've been dealing with #writer's block for months now. It’s torture—like someone shut off the tap of #creativity in my mind. It feels like being locked out of my own home. But after some input from family, I’m finally starting to feel like I’m getting it back. How do you get past writer’s block?

I’ve heard the saying, ‘If it’s boring to #write, it’s boring to #read.’ I’m not sure I agree. Some chapters I’ve found boring to write have gotten the best feedback. Maybe the process isn’t always exciting, but the result still resonates. What do you think—does this saying hold true for you?

‘Make your hero do bad things!’—immortal words for any #writer, right? 😈 My new #blog post on crafting the perfect hero is now live on my website! If you’re curious about how I shape my main #characters to be truly, truly unforgettable, head on over and check it out!

Teaser for my new #blog post tomorrow! "Your #hero can grow into someone better or worse than who they were at the start of your #story. Who says that the hero’s journey must be one of improvement?"

Feeling stuck while #writing? Try these tips: 1️⃣ Skip ahead to an exciting part for now. 2️⃣ Freewrite for 10 minutes. 3️⃣ Change the POV of your scene. 4️⃣ Take a walk and let your mind wander. 5️⃣ Zoom in on a tiny detail to restart momentum How do you get unstuck?

Sneak Peek for Tomorrow’s #Blog! "Let’s be real, most people, even the worst among us, were not just born bad. The path to the dark side is often laced in #tragedy, and boy do I love to #write a good tragedy." Tomorrow, we’re diving into what makes the perfect #villain!

Just #write. Even if it’s bad, you can always fix it later. In my opinion, pushing through writer’s block works best when you let the words flow and shape them afterward.

I want to remind everyone that your local library is both physical AND digital. You hate streaming everything because the price is ridiculous? Library. You hate ads because they're every 3 mins or less? Library. You want to reduce your digital footprint? Library. You want sourced info? Library.
