Someone needs to plow all the ICE off the streets.

This is a lot, friends. It’s okay to step away and take a breath. Every damn day is so much.

There are more of us than them. Don’t forget that.

As I set up a new edit project, happy reminder that I am also a freelance #editor offering #copyediting and #proofreading services directly or through Reedsy!

20ish years experience editing; 12ish years directly in fiction editing

It's okay to take news breaks. It's bizarre to think that you being furious over the news is somehow going to save anyone. Take some actions, take a break, self-care, love to fight another day.

The Keepers book cover features two women facing away from each other

Sanverra lies at the heart of the Cardinal Lands, dynamic realms ruled by lines of great queens. While magic is very real, witchery is challenged, for witches bow to no queen, they hold loyalty to no crown. The queens may accept advice or healing from their local Covens of the Grounded, but they and their subjects are well aware witches do not offer their services without a price. Aleris, adopted into the ambitious Orcharder family as a second daughter, is raised to hide the magic she was born with—until she no longer can. When she finally embraces her own witchery, she changes more fates than her own. Queen Daphne of Sanverra’s word on any matter is final—until she is nearly silenced forever. When she lives through her own death, she begins to understand how much she doesn’t know about the witches of her world. Greater than any Coven of the Grounded, though, is the otherworldly Coven of the Keepers, whose magic turns the very Wheel of the Year. These witches take sacrificed moments from the world to do so, adhering to only one truth: The Wheel must turn.

Aleris, adopted into the ambitious Orcharder family as a second daughter, is raised to hide the magic she was born with—until she no longer can. When she finally embraces her own witchery, she changes more fates than her own.

Why am I writing songs, poems, and riddles in my new book when I can do none of those things??

Up early because I couldn't sleep, so it's the perfect time to journal and read The Two Towers

📖: A War Amongst The Stars ✨🪐💫
A Star-Crossed Lovers Series: Book One
Genre: Adult Sci-fi Fantasy Dark Romance

Omg, seriously. There is NO engagement here, I swear

So we're bombing people and capturing country leaders without any congressional authority?

Lovely. :(

Six chapters and 7,469 words done for Project Drinking Horn, my fantasy D&D romcom. It's a blast writing so far!

I'm gonna write a cozy fantasy, I said. I want it to be upbeat and happy, I said.

🙃🤣

Apparently, I can't do that

Any other writers have no issues writing the narration of a character but cannot articulate your own real thoughts? 😆

If this doesn't motivate you to vote in the Midterms, nothing will.

Last day of work before a mini vacation. I am so excited. Usually whenever I take off work it's to work for an author thing. I can actually do nothing this time!

Thanks GlobalTV Canada! 🇨🇦

Apparently my MO as a writer is going through 5-10 different plot lines before finally finding the right one. #author #writer

NY Times: “This a presidency that celebrates nastiness and spite, not empathy or grace, a reflection, perhaps, of a coarser era in American life.”

Just a small reminder that books 1 and 2 in my Camelot series are out now! Anywhere books are sold. #booksky #books #fantasybooks

I was talking to @sarahgoehrkewrites.bsky.social

The tl;dr is go go go go go go go writing retreat!
