Good morning, #5amwritersclub! The coffee is hot, the words are flowing...and there's a random mosquito in my office. This is war. #5amwritersclub #amwriting #writers #writinglife
Books and words link us together. - Wrtr ~ Background photo shows a TBR pile of books, with 2 or 3 books open together to be read on a table.
As a writer, there is no author-shaped container you need to fill to be an author. Instead, stay true to your writing voice, stay true to your story, and stay true to yourself. #amwriting - Wrtr ... Keep #Writing ~Enjoy and be the author that you are. #author #writer #authorsky
It's like sipping from a fire hose. I can't even.
👏 👏 👏 Way to stand your ground! Very proud. 📚 ♥️

Books. That is all.
Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.

It hit me recently that p0litics has overtaken my social media. To balance, I'm sharing passages from fellow authors that caused me to stop and reread the beauty in their words. Am I still angry? Yep. But we need art and beauty and joy. Besides, books apparently piss them off. 😆 📚 ♥️ #booksky
I called it. Our National Forests. Just when you think they can't get more assholian. I feel gutted yet again.

Can't wait to hear what's next! Enjoy the downtime as you shift gears!
She was certainly an icon in the industry.📚 ♥️ I'm sorry for all of you feeling this loss on a personal and professional level.
🤣 especially this week.

Let’s get to work, y’all. #5amwritersclub #writingcommunity #writerslife
That ridiculous stunt was as transparent as "New Coke." Oh, wait, that's right...
Love this!
Put a roast on overnight in case we lost power. (The Southeast US doesn't do ice and snow well.) Woke to a blanket of snow and the smell of black pepper, roast beef and coffee. Where am I? What time is it? My brain is confused but what a fun #5amwritersclub.
How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.
High protein, then. 😂
Oh, Lord. They're probably from my state. 🤦🏻♀️ And I'm very concerned about the snake green ones behind these. 👀
I’m a gun owner, and I respect the rights of responsible gun owners. That said, the second amendment will continue to be watered with the blood of children until the laws change.
I mean, I shouldn't be surprised at this point but--PBS? 🤦🏻♀️

I think a certain tweety bird has forgotten that Big Bird is from the streets.
Yes!

A really great read!

I have to get in on this post. ♥️ My all-time favorite movie and my all-time favorite soundtrack! Probably not my best parenting moment, but my (now grown) kids can quote it. 😏
Congrats to Thank You Books for being recognized for their care and support of authors and readers!! ♥️
My elf-loving kids are officially adults now. We broke out the box of letters last year, read them and laughed until we cried. But I'm perfectly content with their retirement. 🤣 The little monsters are exhausting.
