Why busyness is overrated

Have you ever been in a conversation and had someone say to you, “I’m just so busy this week,” but instead of it sounding like a bad thing, it comes across more like a brag?

For most (sane) people, this Friday simply means the start of November. For a large number of writers (with questionable sanity), this Friday is the start of National Novel Writing Month!

Why it’s a good thing you’re scared to share your writing

I’ve never had a kid, but I imagine sending out a piece of my writing into the world is a lot like dropping your child off for their first day of school.

I'm gonna start demanding a reason why someone wrote a straight romance novel 😤 ❤️🧡💛 COVER REVEAL! 💚💙💜 Books are basically the only thing that can get me to talk to strangers in the wild 😅 and if I don't actually talk to them, I will be trying to read over their shoulder!! It's been a busy month! After months of publishing work and then taking a little break in April, it felt good to actually write something new! I'm so excited for y'all to read my story in Echoes of Us. And I'm excited for my first in-person event in June! 🙌🏻 ✨ shout out to Mrs. Ray and all the teachers who inspire us!! ✨ ❤️🧡💛 TITLE REVEAL 💚💙💜 Do we share any favorites?? I was in a little bit of a reading slump the first quarter of the year, but I'm glad to say April snapped me out of it! I read a wide range of books but I loved most of them, and I was 95% done with several others at the end of the month, so May is going to have a high number of books 😂 🌷 some highlights from April! 🪻
