I just want to be clear: I’m an #editor who also writes. When my manuscript is ready, I WILL be hiring an editor. #EveryWriterNeedsAnEditor #PracticeWhatIPreach

Taking a page out of @authorMsBev’s playbook and putting myself on Deadline Island. I mean, if you’re going to learn from some, learn from the best. ❤️

Well, it’s officially warmer outside than in. Time to move everything to my outdoor office and keep banging away at this submission. #amwriting #springtimeinvermont

Me: I should be writing. Also me: Stacks a cushion on top of an exercise ball, carefully sits on it, realizes I’m not going to fall, and starts wiggling side to side and telling myself I’m doing crunches. Check back for more writing tips.

I can’t be alone in thinking I need writing snacks when I head into a marathon writing session. Right? Anyone else? #amwriting #writingcommunity

All I want to do today is make pretty drinks and talk about #romancebooks. Is that too much to ask?

There are no better unpacking companions than @FatedMates. I’ve been buried in alllll the boxes (mostly full of #romancebooks, let’s be real), so I’m bingeing the episodes I’ve missed because of packing/moving/unpacking craziness. 10 out of 10, highly recommend.

I've moved AGAIN. 6 times in under 10 years. Time to embrace an #ereader (I know, I'm wayyyy behind). Any rec's for the best ones? Ones to avoid? I LOVE my paper books, but I'm also greedy, live in the woods, and want the books NOW! #amreading #amwriting #movingsucks

I’ve been to countless conferences, but never one as organized, inclusive, and enthusiastic as #CNSF24. The love is tangible among the #romance community, and I’m honored to be even a small part of it.

OK, I just gotta ask. Any other #romance writers/readers/lovers going to #CNSF24? I'm so excited I could burst! Anyone with me?

Sheesh, sometimes when I write I just become a cliche factory! 😳 Bit who cares? Get it out, get it down, fix it later. I’m telling myself the story! #amwriting #writingcommunity
