Lighting a candle for these chapter edits.

I’m working through an R&R request from an agent and I’m feeling pretty good about how this story is growing.

It’s a privilege to have someone express interest and ask for a revision. And while there are no guarantees, I could put in the work and this book might not be the right fit when I’m done, I’m enjoying the opportunity.

Happy Saturday, writers!

Learning doesn’t have to be expensive. Did you know that UCLA offers some amazing and free learning experiences through UCLAxOpen? Today’s class on writing trauma was full of great examples and engaging exercises. I’m such a fan of continuing education, I want to learn forever. I’m grateful there are opportunities like this. #uclaxopen #uclaextension #creativewriting #writingthroughtrauma #writersofinstagram

I made him a little fort out of a sheet and he’s curled up on top instead. It looks like we’re styling a JC Penney photo shoot. These will pair well with the family newsletter we don’t have. #catsofinstagram #jcpenneyphotostudio

I almost didn’t do a 2025 recap, but I’m so glad I did!

So much happened this year and I’m so grateful to all the people who were a part of my writing world this year!

I’m taking a sick day today. 😔

Nothing major, just some sniffles, but I’ve got just enough brain fog that I need a lot of naps.

In between naps I’m collecting my favorite passages from Sarah Pinborough’s “We Live Here Now.”

Happy Solar Return to me! Today’s my birthday and I’m so happy to be here. In the part 365 days I’ve had some writing published, I’ve joined a lit magazine as a submission reviewer, I’ve been querying a novel, and beta reading for friends! None of these things would have happened without support, community, and friendship. So thanks, ya’ll! You’re pretty terrific! It’s been a great year and I’m excited to start another one. #birthday #scorpios #horrorwriter #horrorwritersofinstagram #horrorwritersassociation #writingcommunity

Doctor Sleep by Stephen King

I loved the movie, and the book was even richer. I love the dynamics within the True Knot, I love the relationships between an all-grown-up Dan Torrance and his found family, and I love how I got to experience the Shining as a reader.

Some parts are pretty dark, but there’s a lot of hope and love and triumph.

Such a long day. My sweet girl kitty is 15 years old and needed some dental work done. There were some complications while she was under, but she’s doing better now. I know she’s not getting younger, but I’m not ready. For now, there’s purring at my feet while I write. #writing #writingcommunity #cats_of_instagram
