A friend gave me a bottle of Prosecco on my birthday in 2025. I held onto it, waiting for good book news.

The bottle started to remind me of what I hadn’t achieved. It weighed on me.

Last night, we opened it. No news yet, but we celebrated life. πŸ₯Ή

Per usual, life got busy this week with #kids and work. I got behind on my word count for #MarchtotheEnd. I haven't caught up fully yet, but I did break 45K!

It's amazing how a few tweaks in your opening chapters can give you confidence in your #book again.

I procrastinated starting the next chapter in my wip. There were too many ways to start. Too many feelings to explore.

Then, I started with one aspect of the setting and one sensation and one thought and one feeling. And the chapter took off!

I’m virtually attending the Novel Connect Procrastination Hacks for Writers tonight with @scbwirockymtn.bsky.social. I love bringing awareness and ownership to our #writing practice.

Plantser - not pantsing or plotting but planting seeds for your wip and seeing if they sprout as you draft the story.

Thoughts?

I hear this! I am constantly second guessing and rereading, making sure the scene is working.

I think 90% of my time as a #writer is trying to figure out how to end the chapter I felt great about 5 pages ago.

I had the best of intentions but yesterday turned into one of those days where I struggled with feelings about my pub journey. My partner reminded me of this cartoon. I’m sharing in case anyone else needs a gentle, β€œDon’t give up.”

It's nice to know there are alternatives in life that includes #cats and #books.

What would you choose?

#amreading CROSS YOUR HEART AND HOPE HE DIES, the second adult mystery rom com by Jenny Elder Moke. And yes, mystery rom com should definitely be a thing.

At a book release party last night, someone asked the author what was their motivation for writing #books.

It's something I've thought about but never put into words. HBU?

I guess I took a week-long break from SM. It wasn't intentional and then it became intentional. But I'm glad I gave myself some space from everything.

Sometimes, a little space can do us good!

Brainstorming titles and they all have words like foggy, tired, and sleepy. Maybe I just need a nap.
