- I added a dog character to my novel-in-progress. And the dog now has the longest bio of all the characters in my separate “character notes” doc haha. 🐾 #writingcommunity #amwriting #wip
- Happiest of book launch weeks to the VERY talented author @pennyzang.bsky.social 🥳📖🙌🏼❣️ #thrillers #crimefic #darkacademia #pennyzang #writingcommunity #dollpartsthenovel

- “Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism…” —— If you’ve never read this 1946 article by George Orwell, and you get complaints you as a writer shouldn’t be “political”… #amwriting #writingcommunity
- On a solo writing retreat and this Airbnb I’m at has a ramen/Doritos/mini Takis vending machine on the back porch. #writingcommunity #amwriting #upmarket #suspense #satire #fiction #wip #write #authorcommunity #firstdraft
- Whenever a video starts with, “This is genius!”, I turn it off. I’ve reached my limit for being underwhelmed for the rest of my life.
- I’ve done nothing today except pleasure read and fry apples in butter and brown sugar. Taking a real (AKA full) day off. 🙂 CR 📖: “Bicentennial Summer” by indy author @chrispoorewrites.bsky.social #amreading #writingcommunity #booksky #historicalfiction #ya #comingofage #retrofiction #bookrec
- While doing my early morning walks the past two weeks, I listened to the tell-all audiobook of “Kitchen Confidential” by Anthony Bourdain. It was SO good narrated by him. Nvr read or heard it before. I miss his show and perspectives on people all over the 🌎. #booksky #cooking #bookrecs #restaurants
- Reading makes me braver as a writer—seeing to what extremes other writers have pushed envelopes, bucked systems, taken up space as they should have, and wrote knowing there would be consequences from so many that will always pick what is self-preserving over what’s true. #writingcommunity #amwriting
- My TBR. And I’ll listen to “Gone Girl” while walking bc I’m curious to see how thrillers hv changed. 13 yrs since it pubbed and 20 yrs(!) since “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”, which for me was the first thriller in the “girl in the title” trend. Lisbeth Salander, is a MC I’ll nvr forget. #booksky
- Never have I so extensively “told” a story to myself like I am with this current first draft. There’s going to be some serious editing needed in the “showing” department later. 🫠 🙈 #writingcommunity #amwriting #upmarket #satire #suspense #fiction #momswritersclub #5amwritersclub #wip
- Someone emailed me from an AOL account. I wondered if they were typing away from the underground bunker in “Lost.”
- My husband and I are both sitting around reading. Books. Not phones. A perfect night. Tomorrow has enough worries of its own, and we’ll face them…tomorrow. #booksky
- Took my Ukrainian Easter eggs out early. My mom got these every year she went to teach in #Ukraine. She has some at her house too. 💛💙 🇺🇦
- Goodreads Giveaway! “Told in a dual timeline, Doll Parts is an evocative and irresistible debut, at once an exploration of the dark chasms that break apart friendships, an ode to the aching beauty of girlhood, and a sharp portrayal of grief that can physically haunt you.” Oooh {{shiver}} YES. 💗📚
- May you have peace and security again as the sovereign nation you are. So much of the world stands with you. To my Seattle area Ukrainian friends especially, you aren’t alone.
- What’s your method for making a note when you want to incorporate some detail later in a story but can’t right now? Do you put a note in the actual mss in a bright color, do you keep a list in a separate doc, do you jot a physical note down? #writingcommunity #momswritersclub #5amwritersclub
