My daughter (4) randomly tells people we meet that I’m a writer and smiles at me after doing so, as if she’s so proud.
This is something I don’t have the confidence to do myself.
The purity of this chokes me up.

Are you ever afraid that the MAJOR rewriting you’re doing, is making your manuscript worse?
That’s not legal, right?

I just got the release date for my debut novel (working title) “The Boy Who Survived The Night.”
The book that has taken nearly a decade of my life.
The book that I could not give up on.
The book about surviving the unimaginable.
September of 2023.

I can finally say my debut novel comes out THIS YEAR!
It has taken a decade.
It has changed me.
The story is not my own.
Biographical historical fiction
“An untold true story of a survivor of the Cambodian Genocide who finds redemption.”

Me: “Sure do.”
Her: “Could you write me one with pictures for me?”

The book signing was a success! So thankful for all those who came. Still overwhelmed this morning that I sold 14 books 😅.
I’m pretty sure it was 100% because of my baby though ❤️.

Hi!
I’m Olivia! I write Biographical Historical Fiction. I’m a mom of three. I’m from Montana (but now live in KY). I’ve eaten crickets in Cambodia, but couldn’t do the tarantulas 🙅🏼♀️
Tell me about yourself! What’s the strangest thing you’ve eaten?

Confession:
I am not a fast writer. It takes me at least a half hour to “get into” the story once I start and sometimes two hours to get down a single paragraph.
The story that is in me takes a lot of digging to find.

Went on my own writers retreat.
Having two kids (ages 4 & 2) while being a SAHM affords little time for writing. I don’t know why this has taken me so long to do. I’ve never felt qualified.
It’s freeing
It’s affirming
Do it!

I’m closing the door on a small business I helped start, to be more present for my family and pursue writing more fully.
It’s scary, it’s sad, but it also feels

I’ve come to the conclusion that it is ok if I only ever write a few books in my lifetime.
Maybe even just one.
It has taken nearly 10 years to write.
If I’m never like other “best selling authors” that’s ok.

What do you do when an agent at a pitch appointment says your novel might be “literary,” but literary is a “hard sell.”
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Guess we’ll see how it pans out in the wash.

Are you a Hemingway fan? I’ve found people either adore him or are vehemently opposed to his style.
His simplicity in executing deep meanings through the written word always leaves me in awe though.

Are you honest in your novel reviews (knowing how DIFFICULT and VULNERABLE writing is)?
Or do you just not review what you do not love?

Today my five-year-old (who is beginning to read), read my name on a book cover.
“That’s my mommy,” she said.
Then looked at me like she never doubted me for a minute.

I don’t write to merely entertain, I loath the idea actually. I write because sometimes words are the only adequate vehicle to crash through the barrier of our pent up souls.

I’m waiting to get my edits back for my novel, but it’s such a strange tension to be in.
I’m excited, but I’m also terrified.
So much of life is lived in this tension.

After an unexpected shift in plans, I’m now self publishing.
In 1 week I:
⭐️ Booked a fantastic cover artist
⭐️Found an editor who is tailor made for my story
⭐️ picked two Publishing platforms
Is this why people do this thing from the start? 🤯

Me: “what do you hear?”
4: “the wind is whispering through the tree branches. Isn’t it a beautiful sound?”
She’s moved on from rhyming to personification and metaphors. I think she may be a writer one day.

Just finished reading my story to the one it was dedicated to. The hero, the heart and the one whose given me a real, breathing love story.
Although it’s a small thing, words are the best gift I know how to give someone.
They’re the expression of my soul.

Finishing the first draft of a WIP is like…
Seeing your creation take its first breath. You know much still needs to be done, but for the moment, you are in awe of what you created.
This is why we do what we do. To see the invisible become visible.
