I've reclaimed my balcony now that the 2nd set of fledgling birds have departed. I spent a good part of the morning yesterday cleaning and reorganizing. I've been away quite a bit this summer and have more travel coming up, but for now, I'll sit out here, sip my coffee, do my work, and enjoy the fresh air. 📚 Happy Monday everyone! 📚

It's about the journey. 📚 As I've been working through my storyboarding, I've been tempted to skip some steps and just get back to writing. So glad I didn't because last night I came up with 8 new scenes that will really add layering to the main plot. It also got me out of the thinking that something was missing. 📚

I finally broke down and bought a lamp for my nightstand (thanks a lot @schwarzbianca1 ugh lol). I didn't want it because I'm such a minimalist but last week I was complaining about having nothing to read even though I have a stack of unread physical books. I started Crawdad a month ago but hadn't gotten very far because I mostly read before bed and don't want to get up to turn off the light. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Silly I know. Since I had to buy the lamp, I got one with a USB for more utility. 😁 📚 Do you have any quirks where other people look at you and go hmmm? 📚

I had sorority meeting this morning. My toes went perfectly with my pink blouse (our colors are pink and green😁), then errands and back home for more plotting. I'm enjoying this storyboarding so much. 🤗 📚 Happy Saturday! I hope it's a relaxing and/or productive day for you. 📚

As I'm storyboarding the remainder of my #wip, Thinner Than Water, I've been immersed in the story and doing some more research. For instance, I found out that my grandfather's great- grandmother was born in 1800 in Maine. What's so interesting is that both my grandfather's parents and all his grandparents were born in The Netherlands. So how (and why) did she go from Maine to The Netherlands? 🤷🏽‍♀️ 📚 Are you at all interested in genealogy? Have you researched your family or have you heard any interesting family stories? 📚

I attended a fantastic workshop last night given by @farrahrochon. It was on storyboarding and how she uses poster boards and sticky notes to plot her stories. I've toyed with this in the past but she takes it to a whole other level. I can't wait to try it out. 📚 Writers, are you a plotter or pantser? Or somewhere in between? What methods do you use? 📚

I wrote about 300 words yesterday. That may not seem like much but considering I hadn't written in weeks plus needed to reread my story to remind myself where I am, I'm feeling good about it. Thanks @amandalinsmeier or I'd still be overthinking my next move. 📚 I've also been struggling in the reading department. I'm looking for my next great read. I'd like romance (any subgenre) or fantasy with a strong romantic subplot. Give me your recs! 🤗 📚

I've been struggling to write my synopsis for the past two or three weeks. Partly because I really hate them but also because I haven't had a ton of time. My day job has been folding into my writing time and I've been getting lots more active in writing groups and my sorority. Today I drove over to Houston for a huge event to support my line sister. 📚 No writing this weekend but lots of fun and friends. What are your extracurricular activities you enjoy? 📚 . . . . . . . . . #writerscommunity #authorselfie #authorslife #writerslife #writersofinstagram

I got my first gift from baby Yuiza, now I just need her to get here to fill it with a picture. She's due 3 weeks from today. 🤱🏽🤗 . 📚 I picked up the signed copy of Crawdads when I visited a new local bookstore a couple weeks ago. I'm excited to read it because everyone's saying you don't see the twist coming at all. I _think_ it's next on my ever-growing #TBR. 📚 Yesterday I asked what you're currently reading. Today I'm wondering what's on your TBR for the next couple books? 📚 . . . . . . . . #readingcommunity #readerly #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #booknerdigan

Happy Monday! I'm currently reading Finale. I found out the author and I are from the same medium-ish town and was so surprised and excited. My friends weren't impressed lol. 📚 I finished The Bride Test last week and absolutely loved it. 5 stars. 📚 What are you reading? 📚 . . . . . . . . . . . . #mondaymotivation #mondaymusings #readersofinsta #readerslife #readersgonnaread

So this is how I spent part of my Mother's Day. It's a family tattoo - both daughters, their dad, and my son-in-law have them so it was time for mine. We also had a tremendous brunch (check out my stories) and now I'm going to get back to some writerly tasks. I still have a synopsis to finish for The Opposite of Us so I can send off to 3 agents who asked for it during DVpit and then I've decided to do an intense revision on Disparate Soul before my next round of queries. 📚 Did you do anything special today? 📚 . . . . . . . . . #newink💉 #amrevising #yafantasy #writerslife #authorselfie

Happy Monday morning! I love this quote but I think we have multiple gifts and our work is to do what makes us happy. 📚 Have you discovered your gifts? Please share. 📚 . . . . . . . . . #mondaymotivation #mondaymusings #writersquotes #writingmood #writersofinsta
