What inspires you? Is it totally weird that organizing and decluttering inspire me? I saw this at the library and had to have it. Full review on the way. My personality type is scattered but organized. Everything has a place, yet sometimes we gotta let go and understand that perfection is impossible.
Someone checked out my book from the library. I may obsessively wonder if they'll like it. Like me. Choose me. I'm funny and smart. Complete package. 😂☠️
I hate my open line, and this book is going nowhere. Part of me wants to scrap it all and restart, but the more experienced side of me says to keep pushing through. Rough drafts are supposed to suck. So just be sucky and keep going! I probably won't even start the book here.
This weekend, I was able to see all of my favorite local writing buddies in two different locations. Apparently, it can be a buzz kill to ask how everyone's projects are going 😂 We didn't pick the easiest path, but it is the path we chose. It takes a village sometimes. Even within the solitudeness of writing. I'm so thankful for these amazing humans that make me laugh, offer advice, and share their stories ❤️
I ❤️ weaving a touch of horror into my science fiction 👀 And while I'm only three chapters into my newest manuscript, I think it's going to have some good creepy components.
My favorite bookstore is my free library 😉 Not only are two of my books there, but I find tons of fiction and nonfiction. Cookbooks are my addiction!
