Mom of 2 grownups and a clever German Shepherd dog. When not working on my debut novel, I love reading, cooking, gardening, traveling, and life in Montana. I'm a member of WFWA, hoping to connect here with other writers/agents/editors and publishers.
I'm entering this contest with the first page of my Women's Fiction novel-in-progress. Thanks for this opportunity, @writingdaywksp.bsky.social and Christine Goss.

I searched for photos of my sisters and me taken on a childhood road trip, feeling grateful there is no rift between the four of us.

Congrats Lisa! I’m excited to read it.
Are you aware of “sequential narration” in your storytelling? Or are you merely conveying a visual of your characters’ progress? Agent and teacher Don Maass recommends using “human moments” to convey progress, today at WU.

Releasing the Reins: Horses, a strong female protagonist, a ranch in Alaska, and an ominous secret are woven into this well-written hard-to-put-down novel by @catherinematthews.bsky.social . I can't wait for the next book in the "Tundra Secrets" series. #Women'sfiction #fiction #Horses #Alaska
Thoroughly enjoyed Intuitive Editing
This touching novel by Stephanie Claypool offers small-town warmth and the power of love, with a quilt shop at the center of the plot and setting. Looking forward to her next book! #read #quilters #womensfiction
Editing tip: Eliminate “talking heads” in your scenes! 🌟 Anchor dialogue with actions, expressions, or setting details to keep the scene dynamic and immersive. It’s all about balancing words with movement. ✍️#editingtip #Revising #writingtips
