I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m sh*t when it comes to talking up my book. Only sold one today. But . . . enjoyed the conference, seeing an old writing friend, and making some new connections. (PS- I still have copies of Not Our Summer if anyone wants one!)

Well, my author reading is over. A small turnout but there were positives. A man gave me tons of compliments (I don't think he was hitting on me?). And the book store owner said my reading was great and he'd promote my novels. So...silver lining. #amwriting #WritingCommunity

One of the major causes of writer’s block is perfectionism: trying to make everything perfect in the first draft.When you try to write and edit, you’re running your creative brain and your logical brain at the same time. That can kill your productivity.Don't worry about…

There’s this MS i shelved a year ago. I knew it was something special which was why it took me so long to let go. I just couldn’t figure out why & where exactly it lost me. Y’all, I had a dream last night, and it finally hit me what I did wrong. Do I dare revive her?🥹

Lost my writing partner yesterday. I rescued him from a shelter in 2010, and he rescued me every day after. Today, I have to fend for myself. Rest in peace, sweet George. I miss you more than words can say. #5amwritersclub

@BristolVaudrin I only follow writers or publishing related accounts.But even with writers, if there are too many retweets I won't follow. I prefer to read original content & thoughts than retweets of posts that I've already likely seen since (as writers) we are likely following the same peeps
