I am back to writing and querying. Life has been busy and chaotic for a bit, but I'm really enjoying this whole thing again. And with 25k words cut, Princess of a Fading Star is the best its ever been. =)

@yuchiverse @writementor @dcdador ♥️

@JeffHdeLeon @writementor @dcdador We're missing a third amazing person in this photo 😌

I got to meet one of my @writementor mentors @dcdador!! Hope you can join us next time @JeffHdeLeon! Thank you both SO much for believing in my MS and for all the love, support, and brilliant ideas & feedback this summer. It's been amazing working with you 💖

I'd promised a blog post on insights from my #writementor subs, and Part 1 of "How to Critique" is finally up. I firmly believe that learning how to give critiques is one of the best ways to level up as a writer. fourgreensquares.wordpress.com/2022/08/04/cri… #amwriting #amediting #WritingCommunity

Minor temporary profile changes to avoid having to go private. All good 🤣

@J_H_Birch @writementor I have no words. The loss of a child is unfathomable. I am so sorry.

I JUST FINISHED WRITING THE CHAPTER IVE BEEN STUCK ON SINCE JANUARY!!! ITS CELEBRATION TIME!!!

@yuchiverse 🥰

@JeffHdeLeon AHHH these words mean the world to me. Thank you so so much for seeing potential in my MS. 🥲 I absolutely cannot wait to learn from you both this summer!!! ✨

I’m still in awe of the quality of our subs. Wish I felt up to taking on more than one. 😭 😭 My anxiety is through the roof. But as a person and an educator, the potential impact of @yuchiverse’s YA MS compels me to lend any help I can to this already mind-blowing piece. ❤️

@jenna_yun @daphnedador @yuchiverse Oh my goodness!! Thank you. It made perfect sense the other way too :)

@daphnedador @JeffHdeLeon @yuchiverse why do I keep typing "mentor" when I mean "mentee"?!?! anyway, your MENTEE is the luckiest because YOU are truly the best! I've heard only fantastic things about @JeffHdeLeon as well, so they are doubly lucky!!!💙

I am humbled by this experience and reminded that everything is more challenging than other people make it look.

@NicoleCLindsay Oh no, cynical 😡 people are trying to ruin other people’s efforts to be disarming. What ever will we do? 😂

I keep seeing that 😂 is cringe?? Like how cringe are we talking? minion memes cringe? wearing crocs unironically? How???

@alexottowrites I'll regret it the next time I have a depressive episode LOL ♥️ Thank you. I appreciate you.

@JeffHdeLeon Thank you for being open about this and normalizing talking about it! Hugs!

@colelaynewrites I live my life five minutes at a time. =) Works for me.

@JeffHdeLeon Omg that’s perfect!!! I’ll definitely give that a try, thank you so much 😩

Okay does anyone have tips on making yourself start a task? I get so excited to sit down and write and then I get there and just? Get paralyzed and don’t? It’s the same with other stuff too like reading and eating I feel like a fainting goat!

@ohdeeandy @TaylorLGrothe I laughed out loud for real.

@JeffHdeLeon @TaylorLGrothe

In a career where news trickles in slower than molasses in winter, let's normalize little successes. I want to hear about your little wins! I'll start: I took some time to sit outside in the sun today, and it felt so nice to step away from my work ☀️

@viswolfs @PaigeEwing The good kind of love triangle is amazing every time. =)

@blondewithab00k The mods for Elden Ring on PC are amazing. =) nexusmods.com/eldenring/mods…
