Getting some senior pics done a bit early while we are in paradise. Look at her!

This is the paradise I live in

My favorite part about all the Europeans in the US is now they all know why we are fat. Ranch, biscuits and gravy, diners, free refills... We earned this.

This 3rd glass of wine is helping the 3rd agent rejection of the day go down a lot easier.

I just wrote a pretty intense scene. Trying to depict a panic attack while dialogue is happening around it, pushing it further. I think I got it, but it will take fresh eyes.

Fully embracing the em dash for book 2. I will no longer be handcuffed in fear of being accused of us AI.

When your day takes a turn to the sh*t house and your husband is away on a work trip, Oreos for dinner it is.

This algorithm is so stupid! I like 1 tweet and that's all I'll see for the next 20 days. If I like it once, I don't need 50 versions of the same thing. Meanwhile, I can tweet into oblivion about anything and have only bot interaction. It's broken.

Authors, how many agents do you query? There seems to be an endless list, and while obviously not all are a fit, the number that potentially is a fit feels huge! I am sure there isn't a magic number, but interested to hear when you all feel like you have queried enough. #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity

Just wrote a line in my WIP that I really love. Hope it makes the final cut. #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity

And so it begins again... #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity

Alright peeps, which 1 sentence pitch makes you want to read this book: 1. Newly bound to the royal family, a young noble woman with forbidden magic must decipher her visions of a deadly, unknown threat to save her kingdom - risking exile or even death if caught. 2. Starting a new life as part of the royal family is hard enough, but having to hide your secret affinity for blasphemous magic makes navigating these challenges even more complicated, especially since using this magic may be the only way to save the kingdom and the family she is beginning to love. 3. Lady Emilia must hide her power in a world where magic is forbidden to women, but as the threat of her secret coming out looms over her, she must decide whether to save her kingdom or lose it all.

I mean, I should reply "yes 🙌??

Can we PLEASE get AI to actually pick plastic out of the ocean, or do all the robots have to become screenwriters?

This lady is driving down a stretch of road on St. Louis St. in Springfield, Missouri. She is driving exactly 30 Mph and as she does so the rumble strips create the melody of “America The Beautiful”. This just opened up recently. The song was chosen as a tribute to America’s open road, the spirit of Route 66 and the upcoming celebration of the country’s 250th anniversary. ❤️🇺🇸 I think that is too cool. Love when towns and cities are patriotic. 💯 Never knew this existed or was a thing. I’ve heard there are other roads in our beautiful country that have other songs as well. Did you know this existed? Have you ever driven on a road where the rumble strips play a song before? Isn’t that cool?

My GD dog snuck a freakin turtle into this house and put it in his kennel to use like a little living chew toy!!! Thankfully they come with their own Kevlar and we hope he, the turtle, will live. This dog...
