Professional editor www.ReadInkEdits.com, author, mama, warrior. she/her. Black Lives Matter. I love travel, snuggling, wine, and the kindness of strangers. Online friends are real friends.
Just reported an author's video on tik tok in which she threw up the yahtzee salute. My comment calling her out got VCG'd, but her video... "no violations found."
If that doesn't tell you tik tok is changing...

I love the writing community, but I will NEVER support a yahtzee.

I miss writing my own shit.

Don't get my wrong, I love working on other people's books.

But damn. It feels like the worst kind of homesickness.

All right everyone, show me your coping skills.
I just took a short break to make lunch, watched the Good Place while I cooked, and now I'm sitting back down to work like this.

If you haven't used any coping skills yet today, go do so in the next 30 minutes.

Friendly reminder: Your author colleagues are not competition. They are companions in the trenches. Maintaining strong, positive bonds with them will do far more to uplift your career than tearing them down.

I am reading a traditionally-published book from 2004, and the number of typos (mostly homonyms like 'the emergency break' 'she peaked outside' is completely ridiculous.

Good Morning 🦋 🫶🌻♥️

The Kiss 🫦

Poem by me

You know the one
It starts with the build up
The anticipation, the teasing
His subtle touches,his scent
The way he looks at me
The yearning in his eyes
The way he leans to listen to my words
His curiosity
How he wants to learn me
To know me

I just saw a post from someone doing an advent calendar of little drawings, and today's (maybe?) was a tiny mouse with an acorn, and it was so truly wonderful!! But I went to hit comment to say so, and my stupid thumb tapped the home button, and it is gone forever from me.

I chatted with the creative director of lulu.com today and was so excited to learn how much better they treat indie authors than Amazon. I hear so many people talk about Amazon taking almost all their profits, but not knowing what else to do. This gives me hope.

Hi, BlueSky! I’m a Twitter escapee on the hunt for #vss365 and #WritingCommunity friends. I’m querying my first novel & write #poetry + flash fiction.

It’s bittersweet leaving a place I once treasured, but excited to start over where the skies are much bluer. Let’s connect!
