I’m a day late for intros… I’m Sharon, I started writing Winnie the Pooh fanfic when I was 5. Nowadays I write middle grade contemporary. I’m querying my novel SPILL and revising my other novel, POISON PEN. Spill started as a prequel, but I’m trying to make PP a stand alone novel. #BluePitHype

Planned to spend today wrapping gifts. Instead, I had an insatiable thirst to work on my book for just a little bit (I’ve been blocked for a long time) and have written more than I’ve written in months. #writing

I’m considering writing one for a prompt-based local writer’s group. It’s daunting because I haven’t tried to write a short story in ages.

Very proud of this mood board for my novel Spill that my daughter Hannah helped me make (my graphic design skills are rudimentary.)

But now I see your name and handle (as well as my handle, which I created like 2 days ago) as invalid handles. I guess they’re twitterpated from the Xodus.

I did it… pulled the plug on my twitter account. I’d love to connect with other writers, particularly middle grade writers. I have one novel that I’ve queried on and off for years, but am revamping the query letter. I’m revising a 2nd novel. At the same time, I’m also renovating an old house.
