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. 💛🩷💛🩷💛🩷 #momswritersclub
Very long day- thank you, Mélanie, for all your help. Looking forward to some time to recharge. #momswritersclub
Writers are often portrayed as being isolated and antisocial. But my writing friends (esp moms, both irl and online) are the ones who show up, follow through, and follow up the best 😊 #momswritersclub
Anyone else find it gets harder and harder to compile and format in Scrivener instead of easier? I love Scrivener - until I have to format... #momswritersclub
#MomsWritersClub A6 I know I’ll close out this app and think of others but the only one coming to mind right now is just sit in the chair and write. As if I could make my ADHD focus on something it doesn’t want to do 🙄
#MomsWritersClub A5 Hmmmmmm maybe. I think we’re writers because we are always thinking about stories. So it’s not that they come easily it’s just how we walk through the world.
#MomsWritersClub A4 I think it’s like any other creative skill in that there are people who have a natural ability and people who learn it and have to work harder to master it. I think it can be taught but not everyone who is taught will be good. Like learning how to paint.
#MomsWritersClub A3 I think write what you know is an incomplete piece of advice. It should be something like write what you know and write well what you don’t. If you’re going to write from an unfamiliar place do lots of research and enlist help from those more knowledgeable.
