This head cold is kicking my arse, that, coupled with my 0500 wake up calls for revising has thrown me into a relapse of guzzling two pots of coffee per day. It's easy to get discouraged right now. I'm a third of the way through a major revision (draft 5) on a book I thought I was ready to pitch. But what keeps me going is my love for my characters. Their stories are worthy and deserve to be told. I know I can nail this edit. And when I do, March is going to be THE month for me. Y'all just wait and see. 😘 #amwriting #amrevising #amediting #amdying #writersofinstagram #writersofig #iwillrevise #holdmybeer

One of my many goals for this year, brushing up on world history. @smithsonian went all out on this gorgeous edition! #booksbooksbooks #bookstagram #smithsonian #history #amlearning #amreading #themoreyouknow #worldhistory #historyoftheworld #booksandcoffee #readingtime📖

💻Just Write✒ A writer friend needed a little kick in the arse this morning, so if you need some motivation, keep reading.👇 Treat your writing time like work: same time, every day. Get up and just do it. Fight for it. It's sacred. Don't let anything/anyone get in your way. I see so many writers bitching and moaning on social media about the craft, not having the time to do it, no inspiration, when their time would be better served just writing. Do it every day so when you don't write it feels unnatural. Even when you're tired, don't feel inspired, (the excuses are endless), just write. If you get stuck, pick up a book, go for a walk with the pup, grab a coffee. Immerse yourself in the creative process. I'm a loner. I don't have (nor honestly need) an accountability partner. I'm doing this for me. No one else can push me to tell my story. There's nothing I'd rather be doing. Writing is my sanctuary, my release from the bullshit of this world. You and only you can determine where your fate lies. The only question is, how badly do you want it? P.S. Thanks Bud and Chelsea for this lovely print. I adore it! #justwrite #noexcuses #writerwoes #writingadvice #writer #editing #writingmotivation #amwriting #amediting #amrevising #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writers #writingquotes #typewriter #pinktypewriter #buildinganempire #makeyourownfate

Tired eyes but happy eyes. Days off work are for editing. #happywriter #amwriting #amediting #feelingprettyinpink #coffeefiend #petitedelights

Today is a day for drinking bubbly, stuffing my face with macarons, and celebrating. Why, you may ask? Because aside from some minor tweaks on my manuscript, I'll be ready to pitch to literary agents March 1st. One step closer to getting my book baby published! Huge shout-out to @crookedkitchenmacarons for not only hand delivering these beauties but throwing in an extra treat for my special day. These are the BEST macarons I've EVER had. Ladurée has nothing on these guys. Fruity Pebbles is my favorite (shocking, I know), but the birthday cake and chocolate-covered strawberry are both mouth-watering, too. Hit them up, pronto! Local or not. They ship! #fruitypebblesmacarons #fruitypebbles #macarons #birthdaycakemacarons #chocolatecoveredstrawberries #birthdaycake #frenchmacarons #publishingjourney #amwriting #amrevising #writersofinsta #bookbaby #writersofinstagram #writersofig #flyingpigs #pigscanfly #bubbly #writinginspiration #sugarcoma #foodie #foodiesofinstagram #foodcoma #supportlocalbusiness #kingstonny #writingtreats

@rl_stine1 was my favorite author growing up. I read GOOSEBUMPS and FEAR STREET religiously. Perhaps that's why taking his @masterclass was such an emotional experience for me, to finally meet the man behind the words, to see how his mind works, how he views the world of writing--why it was monumental! Not only can the man write, but he's a hoot! He talks about how he met @stephenking at a conference, and they both shared a laugh over a magazine calling R.L. Stine the "training bra" for Stephen King. Essentially, that's true. I did move onto Stephen King as I grew older, but I never forgot the path that brought me there. You, good Sir, taught me that reading could be fun, thus planting the seed of my love for writing. For that, I'm forever grateful! #masterclass #rlstine #goosebumps #fearstreet #amwriting #amreading #amreadinghorror #bookstagram #yabooks #yabookstagram #booksbooksbooks #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity #stephenking #writingadvice #writingtips #writing #writingcraft #betrayal #writersofig #writersofinsta

"Hey, once upon a younger year When all our shadows disappeared The animals inside came out to play Hey, when face to face with all our fears Learned our lessons through the tears Made memories we knew would never fade..." -Avicii #onedayyouwillleavethisworldbehind #livealifeyouwillremember #iloveny #thatfreddyfeeling #nature #sunset #waterfall #avicii #landscapes #freddystoreusa #rainbow #writinginspiration #wanderlust

When my grin touches my ears, and my eyes ensconce themselves behind my cheeks (that of a chubby cherub), that's how you know I'm genuinely happy. In this case, in particular, I was swooning over this park's gorgeous Tiffany Blue theme. Thanks for bringing me here, @wadevetiver @dominopark is as sweet as its namesake. 😉 #dominopark #dominoparkbrooklyn #brooklyn #williamsburgbridge #ilovenyc #tiffanyblue #watercolorskies #newyork #williamsburg #newyorknewyork #newyorkisalwaysagoodidea #nyc #writersofnyc #welcometonewyork
