Whitney Hemsath (aka W.O. Hemsath)

Just in time for spooky season, my dark mermaid short story is now available for your reading pleasure. Enjoy! (And please consider RTing or commenting to boost visibility.) #WritingCommunity #readingcommunity a.co/d/hqovuF3

Do other authors get a kick out of being called evil or is it just me? Haha. Gotta love a good cliffhanger. Want your kids to love and think me evil as well? Get them a subscription to Adventures of Cal Reznik: The Secret Portal! Dr. Who x Miss Frizzle x Magic Tree House vibes.

For my religious non-fiction readers, I am a new writer at LDS Living, and my second article is up now. You can find all my published articles at ldsliving.com/whitney-owens-…

Bucket list item: See a book I published on sale, in print, on the shelves of a store. Check! (If you're in UT, visit Day's Market to get your groceries and a copy of my LDS Inspirational book: "Types, Shadows, and Casseroles: Finding Christ in Your Daily Life".)

Katherine Paterson (Bridge to Terabithia) is the keynote, Jennifer Nielsen (False Prince) is a teacher, and honestly there are just so many incredible teachers and classes and workshops

Want to attend an incredible writing conference next month? Storymakers is from May 9-11 with virtual or in person tickets available. Both tickets include virtual playback for 100+ classes! Let them know I referred you! #WritingCommunity #Author storymakersguild.org/storymakers-co…

"Types, Shadows, and Casseroles: Finding Christ in Your Daily Life" has officially launched! It is a bit surreal to be at this point, but definitely awesome. Next up, edits on my middle grade historical time travel epistolary novel, cuz no one genre can contain me! #Christ #books

Greetings to all my X-friends (but never ex-friends). Long time, no tweet! Any of you come back like I did just to check if you were hacked on FB or Insta? haha. #instagramdown #facebookdown #WritingCommunity

@Avviexo Happened to hubs and I too. Nothing I do lets me log in. Hopefully all my efforts to try and log in haven't made things worse. *smh* Insta is down too, since they're related.

Anyone else's #Facebook logged out? Can't log back in, keeps saying session expired or unexpected error? #facebookdown #Kate

Do you decorate your laptop? I want to see your stickers! (Or whatever else you use)

3-The Farmer with a dog named Bingo is NOT named Old MacDonald. That's a different song; 4- Hyperbole is a form of humor. This tweet was a silly joke. So have a laugh, don't think too deeply about it, and for the love of Oxford commas, don't criticize anyone's intellect over it.

4.5 yrs later, and this tweet is still making rounds over on Facebook. Let the record show that: 1 - I have always presumed and still believe Bingo refers to the dog; 2-This is an example of an unclear antecedent, so grammatically speaking, there IS room for ambiguity;

My eight year old just asked me if Bingo is the name of the farmer or the dog and now I am questioning everything I thought I knew about life. #momlife #grammar #writers #momofboys #deepthoughts #BINGO

We were rewatching The Chosen as a family and had to pause it while someone went to go get something. Suddenly my 10yo asks, "Did I just find Cookie Monster?" @thechosentv #TheChosen #SesameStreet

I haven't been posting on here much because I'm busy trying to get my new website up and prep my reader magnets to launch with the new website. Who here does reader magnets? What do you use for yours? How often do people unsubscribe as soon as they get the freebie?

@jake_fluekiger It looks so delicious. I've never had grapefruit cake and I'm practically drooling over here.

You ever have one of those days where you go to the library to check out a potential new writing group and come home as the president of the Orem Chapter of the League of Utah writers? 😂😂😂 #PlotTwist #ExtrovertedWritersAreAMinority #WishMeLuck

@jake_fluekiger It looked gorgeous and no surprise it tasted divine as well. Yay for yumminess!

@ariannecostner @HullaballoonArt Thanks. He is a man of so many talents!

@WhitneyHemsath @HullaballoonArt That is so cool!

203 balloons and 13.5 hours later, @HullaballoonArt has amazed me again. #MerryChristmas everyone! May your lives be as full of joy and peace as my kitchen is of balloons.

@TheCleftonTwain Wait, wut? Yay for Christmas miracles!!!

WHY DID NONE OF YOU TELL ME LINDSEY STIRLING HAS A NEW CHRISTMAS ALBUM??? It's like I can't trust any of you.

@DawFfraw Thankfully, my 5yo has enough enthusiasm and joy to supply Christmas spirit for me when I am feeling overwhelmed. But I fear Christmas is going to be a lot less Christmasy once he grows up, cuz he's our last. 🥺
