Under the Texas Sun

✍Writers, how messy are your notes? This is my scratchpad for the final run-through of my WIP. It's chaotic, to say the least. Sometimes my scrawl is so terrible I don't even know what I've written lol. 🦙I'm super excited. Lots of changes are headed my way. In a fortnight, I'll be moving into my apartment in Austin. The llama trinket tray (EXACTLY my face when writing) and succulent (my mom says they are hard to kill) will be joining me. 👩‍💻On 1 July, I'm sending back my WIP to the dream agent. This is her third read. Keep your fingers crossed that she loves the changes and signs me! 🍷 How's your June going? #dowhatyoullove #dowhatyoulove #amwriting #fantasywriter #writer #writersofig #writersofinstagram #llama #thirdtimesthecharm

In most cases when someone learns I don’t want to have children, they get really upset. “But why not?” they ask. Or, “Oh, give it time. You will change your mind.” No, actually. No I won’t. Because of this, I’ve always thought something was wrong with me. I didn’t have that maternal gene, that biological need or ambition like many women to have children. But you know what I’ve always yearned for? To be an author. To inspire someone by the characters I create, the books I write. To give someone who’s lost hope, the courage to fight another day. At the end of 2017, when I first started writing ANGST-FORGED, I FINALLY found closure. Yes, I will have babies. Hopefully, dozens and dozens of babies. But my children will come from my brain, not my uterus. Now, when someone asks me why I don’t want to have children, I simply ask why they don’t want to be a writer? Their reasoning, no doubt, is usually similar to mine. I make my own fate, my friends. My path is not yours. Yours is not mine. Embrace your own life. Right now, I’m working my hardest to acquire my dream agent so y’all can finally meet the first of my children: Orban, Ezrah, Certie, and Ash. I hope you love them as much as I do. Bee, thanks for being my birthing partner, and bringing my babies to life with your amazing skills. I’m so lucky to call you my friend. #amwriting #writersofig #fantasywriter

🖌 @gabriella.bee.art pulled out all the stops for my final character! Meet Dein 'Certie' Incertus. Though he's the son of a tyrant, he boasts the most beautiful soul. His gentle heart beats loud and true with the answer he seeks. He just needs to muster the courage to follow it. 🖌 He actually started out as a minor character but after my editors, many beta readers, the talented artist who crafted him, and my dream agent all fell in love with him, he now plays a lead role, opposite my protagonist Ezrahfina. 🖌 Fun fact: His name Incertus is derived from Latin. It means uncertain. #digitalartists #digitalsculpting #fanart #fantasyartwork #fantasyart #fantasycharacter #fantasycharacters #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #art #characterartist #characterart

Suffering from a major book hangover after finishing BLOODWITCH by the brilliant @stdennard Ugh, I wish I could stay in The Witchlands forever. I need more! #susandennard #bloodwitch #thewitchlands #booksandcoffee #bookhangover #bookstagram

The ecstatic face of a writer who just completed the rough draft of her book baby, version 6! June will be devoted to polishing every single word of my 100k word adult fantasy novel ANGST-FORGED before I send it off--for the THIRD time--to my DREAM agent. 😁 #thirdtimesthecharm #amwriting #amwritingfantasy #neverevergiveup #forthehaters #writerscommunity #writersofinstagram

One of my best finds from the library sale. Bought this beauty for a whopping 25 cents! I've already read OUTLANDER, but I couldn't pass this baby up. Now, @mommafikes27 can get hooked too! If you haven't read OUTLANDER, and you love historical fiction/fantasy/romance, pick this up ASAP. It's one of my favorites. @diana_gabaldon is a brilliant author! I'd LOVE for her to teach Masterclass. P.S. 🕰The clock in the background is my Great Great Grandmother's. #outlander #dianagabaldon #masterclass #writer #amwriting #books #clocks #bookstagram #book #bookworm #booksbooksbooks #historicalfiction #adultfantasy #romance

This bookworm (still swooning) bought 31 books today for the grand total of $22!!!! The Pioneer Memorial Library has this awesome sale every year. I'll be back! *Arnold Schwarzenegger voice* #bookworm #booksofig #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks #bookaholic #youcanneverhavetoomanybooks
