- Blank page syndrome is real, but keep in mind the best novels come from first drafts! Allow yourself the permission to write badly first! #writesky #writingcommunity
- #sparksandscribbles I drafted a lot and thought about my new idea, plus reading into the new genre I want to dip into. It was a very fulfilling month and I can’t wait to continue working on the same projects this month! Hopefully finishing some drafting soon. #writesky
- Nothing more heartwarming than your sprint group telling you to take a personal self care evening to read a zombie apocalypse book instead of feeling guilty about not writing. #writingcommunity matters! Connect with other #writers! Because together we make it so much more fun! #writesky

- Two more chapters until Heated Rivalry!!! My mind is no longer sane. I’m writing HEA while shouting at my kids to do their remote learning 😂 gotta love being a mom writer after a snowstorm! #momwriter #amdrafting
- #sparksandscribbles This week, I decided to dnf a book I wasn’t enjoying, started reading a new book that I liked so far, and listened to music when I’m not drafting to hone my creativity. Songs with amazing lyrics really cultivated my imagination. #booksky #writesky

- Pain of being a plantser…when your outline is wayyyyy to simple and the actual drafting takes up way more words than anticipated…one chapter completed…then one more chapter added…sigh… four more chapters to go from here on out, hopefully… #amdrafting
- My son found an old photo album of mine when I was 19, dressed in a traditional Chinese gown with a fancy hairdo. He was like, "Oh, Mom, I didn't know you were a goddess." And I was like...
- #kidlitchat I’d say emotions is a big one, and the repeated theme of a mother-daughter relationship. And lastly, how fascinated I am with death (I seem to kill a parent off in every one of my stories…I should go work for Disney…) #writesky
- TOPIC: What's the most "YOU" aspect of your work? A character, a situation from your own life, a recurring theme, or the way conflict is resolved? What's uniquely you? #kidlitchat
- #sparksandscribbles I just finished reading an ARC of Emiko Jean’s newest YA romance, and I was so swooned! Loved the tension, the banter, the suspense of not knowing who the protagonist was going to end up with, and the raw vulnerability on the page. It was a great 5-star read. #writesky #booksky
- I’ve been doing this “write like no one is watching” thing and it’s been so great. Now I’m wondering if I should attempt “read like no one is watching”, because I always feel guilty for dnf a book but man…there’s just so many books out there I want to read and simply not enough time! #books

- If you enjoy psychological thrillers like roller coasters, this is the book for you. Your hair might get frizzy from being thrusted around by the plot twists, but it was all worth the wild ride. #AliceFeeney #booksky #bookreview #readers #books #writesky #writingcommunity medium.com/hooked-on-bo...
- Six more chapters to draft until I can watch Heated Rivalry and His & Hers!!!!!! Last two weeks of stretch? Really hoping to crank out those words! Wish me luck! May the big magic be with me (and you)!
- #sparksandscribbles The setting of my story is a small mom-n-pops restaurant in my hometown Pittsburgh. It’s set in the summer time because I want the hot and humid climate to contrast the cold and lonely interiority of my characters. #writingcommunity #amdrafting

- Marking down the record, over 3k today! I haven’t written this much in a day since my high school fanfic days 😂 Big Magic is truly magical. Anyone who hasn’t read it should give it a go! #amdrafting
- #sparksandscribbles My goal is to complete book 2 and possibly starting book 3! Loads of writing planned for spring 2026! #writingcommunity #amdrafting
- There’s simply not enough time in a day to do everything I want—read, write, doom scroll, be a god mother, be a good wife, cook, eat, sleep, exercise, clean, play, and procrastinate.
- It's the first weekend of the new year. I've written my one-sentence journal in my planner every night, drafted 700 words while recovering from a bad cold, and brainstormed a brand-new book idea. I'd say this is a pretty decent start. Excited for more big magic! #bigmagic #creativelife #writesky

- I don't know about you...but I definitely do...constantly... #sparksandscribbles #writingcommunity
- Man…I’m ten chapters away from finishing my draft and rewarding myself a whole season of Heated Rivalry but now one of my discord groups is talking about it and of course I can’t be tempted to not click on the spoilers. Stop tempting me! #amdrafting, I’m not watching it until I’m done!!!!!
- #sparksandscribbles Not much of a ritual, but I love writing with my door closed so I can write like no one is watching. And being a part of a writing community is a big help to help me stay on track. Having accountability partners who celebrate small wins with you is everything! #writingcommunity

- The best new concept I learned is vulnerability = courage. Whenever I have doubts about writing, I tell myself I am daring greatly and trying my best (thanks to Brené Brown and her amazing book Daring Greatly). #kidlitchat #writingcommunity
- #sparksabdscribbles Hi! My name is Ceci, and I write YA #kidlit novels and blog about books and writing on my blog. So excited for the upcoming new year #writingprompt challenge! Hope to see you there on @sparksandscribbles.bsky.social! #amdrafting

- What do you do when you have the worst nightmare of your life? You write it down on your new ideas doc for future reference... #writerlife #writingcommunity #writesky
- If you enjoy a down-to-earth story about a kid who loved his family, wanted to be loved, and was afraid to show it, you should give this book a try. #booksky #celebritymemoir #reader #books #bookreview #bookrecs #writingcommunity #SimuLiu medium.com/story-lamp-r...
