“It’s Christmas Eve! It’s… it’s the one night of the year when we all act a little nicer, we smile a little easier, we cheer a little more. For a couple of hours out of the whole year, we are the people that we always hoped we would be!” - Frank Cross, “Scrooged”

Those school book fairs were magical! Is there one book that sticks out to you many years later?

My favorite was probably the Official #Ghostbusters Training Manual: Guide To Catching Ghosts. #BookFairMagic #Nostalgia #WritingCommunity

Am I the only one? About 1/5 of the way through writing book three in a series, and I’m at that point where I start questioning everything. Is it bad? It might be bad. But hey, that’s what editing is for! #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #EditingIsKey #AuthorLife

Does anyone still edit on paper with a red pen? Did that ever make you feel like your manuscript was bleeding? Try using green ink instead. Editing helps you grow! 🌱 #WritingTips #EditingHacks #AuthorLife #WritingCommunity

Does true crime ever creep into your stories? Has a real-life mystery ever inspired your writing? As an author, I find some cases fascinating. A few elements of my second novel were inspired by a real case. #TrueCrime #WritingCommunity #Inspiration #AuthorLife

After some great comments on #Threads, I’ve decided to add content warnings to my books. I’ve come up with possible CWs for the first two novels. I’d love additional input if indie authors have thoughts to share! Input from readers would also be helpful. #WritingCommunity #IndieAuthor #AmWriting

Indie authors, do you add content warnings to your books? I've been thinking about including them. My first book, might look like this:

Content Warning: This book contains references to alcohol, mild language, and themes of suicide. Reader discretion is advised.
