Thank you @ArmandAuthor and @cebuda for helping me organize my thoughts on this change. Today's my last day at the day job, and tomorrow I start off right at the Mando Con writer's retreat, beating everyone at word counts 😏😉. #fulltimewriter #WritingCommunity #AuthorLife

#Motivational Monday A "you are enough" quote just for winter.

My first published work, Death Daydreams, has been out for three years now. That feels like such a short time and also like forever. This is still one of my favorites. Haven't tried it? Below is a link to a free short story in the same world. dl.bookfunnel.com/k2r15gsmlh

Wishing everyone much joy today. Merry Christmas!

#LoveofStories⁠ ⁠ Here's a little secret love. Creating a fictional person that you completely fall in love with. It's not cheating at all. And believe me, the characters I love aren't perfect. They just often feel more real. Why do you love stories?

#Motivational Monday How do you talk to yourself? If it's anything like me, it's as if I'm the enemy. It's taken me a long time to realize I'm not, or I don't have to be.

Slow burn romance, a girl that saves the day more than she's saved, and snarky sidekicks of all types. You can still get book 1 for free today. #freebook #freefirstinseries And book 2 is 99c!

#LoveofStories⁠ ⁠ They say write what you know. I think stories are more exploring something you don't know and getting to dive deep into it without moving your feet. Why do you love stories?

#Motivational Monday No more self doubt allowed for this moment.

#LoveofStories⁠ ⁠ Keeping it simple. Stories are an escape, and I really love to escape the humdrum. Fantasy world inspired by Feudal Japan? Yes please, let me spend time there. Why do you love stories?

#Motivational Monday Some people tend to have winter blues, so I'm sticking to a theme I often need to hear. I hope it sparks something in you as well.

Fascinated by shinobi? Join me in celebrating International Ninja Day, which is December 5th each year. Though initiated as a form of advertisement, it's a great time to research such a fascinating history. Here's a link to get you started: worldhistory.org/Ninja/

I made a world cloud of my positive reviews. I like that my characters and story both stood out. I received the kindest compliments from a few writer friends. "Innovative in the genre" "A Twist on the Average" "Imaginative" I love being unique, but it's also marketing madness.

I got over 30k words which is my monthly sweet spot and finished my novel. I'm a bit of a nano rebel by not starting something new.

#LoveofStories Do imaginary friends talk to you? Have you dreamed up someone that felt so real? I love character driven stories. The characters are what sticks with me to the end. Why do you love stories?
