Is anyone participating in writing 50,000 words next month? I know NaNoWriMo is over, but I love how fired up the writing community is in November.
I've been wanting to write a cozy fantasy for some time, and I think it'll be a lot of fun.

A song that fits the vibe of my YA fantasy is Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey.

Hard at work on edits today from the publisher & my agent @elisasaphier.bsky.social. I’m having a blast, but drinking way too much tea! #writingcommunity #authorcommunity #writersofbluesky #writesky #authorsofbluesky #authorsky #writingYA #kidlit #queerauthor #lgbtqauthor #queerwriter #lgbtqauthor
It’s an exciting day for me. I just received first edits from my publisher on my novel! Wish me luck! 😬 #writingcommunity #writesky #queerauthors #queerwriters #writingYA #kidlit #LGBTQWriters #LGBTQAuthors #writersofbluesky
Computer screen that says “Success! We’ve captured your response”
Just pressed Submit on my revised manuscript for the @highlightsfound.bsky.social Whole Novel Workshop in August! Can’t wait to be with the awesome writers and faculty soon. Now to eat something more than popcorn and trail mix (my writer’s snacks)

Are you a one-desk or two-desk writer? I could honestly go a third some days, if there were room in my office.
Sometimes you just need to spread, amiright?

Slowly but surely I've fallen in love with my WIP. ☺️🩷

Had my first -ever idea for a YA novel. It's a genre I never expected to write, as I never thought I'd have any good ideas for it. But now .... maybe.... 🤔🤔

After tinkering with my YA gothic fantasy, I'm feeling the love again. But now I'm working on two projects, which I've never done before. The second is a YA cozy fantasy. I know I'm going to have to choose which to focus on.

I posted this video on Instagram a week ago. It's a quote from an old WIP, plus a look at its Pinterest board.
What do you think? I still haven't cracked the code on Insta. It's a real struggle.

I've finally settled on my YA gothic as my next WIP. The other option was a cozy fantasy I spent a few minutes brainstorming, but ultimately the gothic will be a good follow up to my current YA fantasy.
Here's an aesthetic for the YA gothic.

Just wrote a “first kiss” scene over and over and over. Like reliving the most wondrous, terrible, heart wrenching feeling over and over and over #writingya
I thought I'd end up loving revising more at some point in my writing journey, but I still prefer drafting. I love that first spark of inspiration when dreaming is essential and there are endless possibilities.

An aesthetic for my YA fantasy, The Lily Maid. It's my 7th completed novel, and I hope it's the one. 🥰❤️

I started a new WIP recently, a gothic YA fantasy. I'm almost halfway through the first chapter and I am smitten.

When you want to write something new, but you're still obsessed with your last story.
I'm 500 words in but it's tough.

Writer confession: No matter how far I am into a story, having to start a new chapter always intimidates me.
Maybe it's because I'm a pantser, or perhaps im putting too much pressure on myself.
Do you struggle with this too?

Unfortunately, my laptop's touchpad stopped working, so I can't write until it's fixed. I think I'll use the time to read. Maybe I'll give writing by hand a shot. 🤷♀️

Does anyone else feel anxious when writing a major scene? I find I tend to write at a slower pace when the scene feels intimidating. ##writingcommunity #amwriting #writing #writingya

I used the word "quintessential" to describe my labradoodle yesterday. Lo and behold, I actually used the term correctly!

“If I’m barely halfway through making this book the best it can be, and have another half to go before getting to the other side, will I keep going?”
My answer: “yes.”
