✨I HAVE AN AGENT!✨
So excited to announce that I’m now rep’d by Bethany Weaver
@weaverliterary
Claudia and Tobias’ story is about learning to live and love in the face of chronic illness, and Bethany’s passion for telling it is so so special. I can’t wait for you to read it.

Devastated to report that actually sitting down and outlining what you want to write before you try to write it actually helps.

25+ is not “too old,” no matter what audience you’re writing for. If you’re 30+ and a writer, please be my friend so we can talk about our books and complain about things like exciting new joint pain and acid reflux 🙏🏻

Shoutout to my fellow slow writers 🙌🏻
Whether you have a chronic illness, a stressful job, a house full of kids, whatever. Even if you’re not grinding out thousands of words every day, you are STILL a writer and you’re doing great. You WILL finish that book!

Having super encouraging non-writer friends is funny bc they’re like, “HELL YEAH you finished your first draft when will it be published?!” and you just have to smile through the pain.

I started reading a romcom that claimed to “tackle infertility” which tbh is something I’m in desperate need of.
I thought I’d get a happily ever after with a LI that loved the mc even though she can’t have a baby, but what I got was a magical miracle pregnancy.

My husband sent me a cryptic text this morning saying he feels like he’s “at a crossroads” and “doesn’t know who he wants to be anymore.” Then he sends me this picture 🤦🏻♀️

The replies I get on Twitter sometimes just make me laugh. You can tweet “wow I love broccoli!” and you’ll get comments like “too much broccoli will literally KILL YOU” and full essays about why cauliflower is better.

I’ve been receiving a lot of likes/comments/DMs from MAGA accounts lately. Just so you’re aware, I write about bisexual cowboys. I think you might be lost.

Also, this is a reminder that your book doesn’t need ANY spicy scenes or romance to be “good” or marketable or wonderful in every way 💕

ATTN FELLOW WRITERS Spotify is letting you exclude specific playlists from your taste profile so your wrapped and release radar aren’t lofi beats, white noise, or weird country bc you’re writing a weird western

The biggest struggle of writing a slow burn romance is WANTING to write a spicy scene but knowing it won’t logically happen until at least book 2.

So envious of writers that can come up with a plot at the drop of a hat. I swear characters and worlds pop out of my brain fully fleshed out. Layers of depth. But what are they doing??? I have no idea
