@stephenking.bsky.social was right about this one.

I read it in four days flat!

Still trying to understand why I can read horror novels but can't watch horror movies...😱

You ever finish reading a book, and feel like your life has been permanently changed from having read said book?

Yeah.

Reeling from it. 🌀

double standard 🤨

This is why style sheets supercede spell checker.

Hah! And "supercede" is also underlined in an angry red squiggly line, yet...(from M-W online).

I was looking for a #writingcommunity, and I found #communitywriting.

Join my friends and I in September at the #MississaugaLibrary for our Writer's Collective of Canada Workshops. ✍️

This #regencyromance, written originally in Portuguese by Brazilian author A.C. Meyer (www.acmeyer.com.br) was a delight to read. 📚

On #manifestationmonday, I am setting realistic goals and dreams.

Give me creative and financial freedom over a Bentley, any day.

Anyone else? 🧐

How do you know what type of editing is best for your manuscript?

The needs of each manuscript and each author vary. I provide two services that make the decision easier.

Found this in my son's backpack 🤔. Hoping this one is NOT a secret message from the universe...🙃

I love working with writers and authors.
My empathetic nature and heart-centered approach makes my editorial guidance supportive and encouraging, not critical. 🫶
