My 10 y/o son just announced, "I have a brilliant idea! Now, I just need a cat to volunteer."

I hope your evening is going better than our cat's. ❤️🐈

This week feels like it's lasted a year.

Mostly this is because work has been super demanding which has left me no time to write. 😭

Hi, I'm Annie writing YA in SW Missouri. I have a 9 y/o and a 13 y/o.
I have a book releasing next week and am working on book 2 in that series. I'm having so much fun with it too!

It's been a minute since I popped on here. Full-time teaching and kids' activities keep me BUSY.
But I am thrilled to share that my newest novel JUNIOR YEAR BITES releases Oct. 8. Yay! It's a YA rom-com with vampires.

I hosted a women's writer retreat for a weekend and it was the absolute best time. I'm blessed to know some really great writers. I just wish I could see them more often.

This is super hard for me right now because I'm finishing up a nonfiction project. But for my book on submission, one of the characters truly believes something bad happens every time he hears Coldplay. That's a bit of a theme.

I think I'm the opposite here. The first line of my debut was...Marriage or death weren't they the same thing? 😆

Narration! I come from the world of theatre where almost all the writing is dialogue. That's in my blood. But narration... um, I always have to add more when editing.

Good writing is attention keeping with characters I care about and a heavy dash of good world building.

Hi, I'm Annie writing YA and romance. I am listening to a lot of books on my commute now. Just finished "Atomic Habits" and am on "The Q" by Amy Tintera.

My kids don't go back to school until new Tuesday.

Also happening next Tuesday? First possible accumulating snow fall.

My kids have thoughts on this. 🥳

I have other thoughts. 😫

Happy new year , writer and reader friends. ❤️ 🥂

Today was my first time participating in graduation as a full-time faculty member. It was such fun to celebrate this day with a gym full of students and families.

I gave the last final yesterday.

Today, I start grading... so much grading.

Then, writing? Ugh.
Writing curriculum for next semester and prepping to direct two shows.

I will write again! I will!

🤔 Does one level up in teaching after hiding in their office with the lights out and the door closed as they eat multiple Little Debbie snack cakes?

If so, I just leveled up. 🍰

Anyone near Joplin, Missouri? Come see me at the Joplin Writers Faire at the Joplin Public Library!

I've been on submission since January. I'm still crossing my fingers that this YA romcom with vampires gets picked up.

This fluffy guy knows when I'm not feeling well. We had a nice nap together.
