I am so excited to share my short story, In the Ire of Shattered Lives in Horror on the High Dive Vol 2. I wrote this story during the Covid Lockdowns. I was inspired by domestic violence victims who deserved a better story. This is a story of vengeance and transformation.

I feel so unmotivated this morning. Is it too early to take a lunch break?

[Chelsy J. Maughan @ChelsyJMaughan]

The amount of late nights I spend thinking about my work in progress instead of sleeping is far to many.

Being an author with little children means tiny hands resting on your desk while editing. One day I will look back at it and miss the days when my baby sat in my lap and pressed the buttons of my keyboard. Maybe he too will become an author and think fondly of these moments.

My son started school yesterday and now I’m just walking around like this. 🥲

@AuthorJCRose Probably Planet X. It’s the trend these days

@AnthonyLaFauci Not without consent, thanks though. 😂

@thisone0verhere I’ve done the “Hey…buddy?…” more times than I’d like to admit.😅

[Jonathan Edward Durham @thisone0verhere]

THEM: wtf is wrong with you?!

ME: [deeeep breath]

[Chelsy J. Maughan @ChelsyJMaughan]

Why do I feel so targeted by this😅

[Jonathan Edward Durham @thisone0verhere]

Does everybody else also have a closet full of clothes but only one week’s worth of things they actually wear or is that just me?

[Chelsy J. Maughan @ChelsyJMaughan]

@elchandler I feel less guilty about creasing a paperback than I do a hardcover. 😅

[Chelsy J. Maughan @ChelsyJMaughan]

@NatashaCL7 I just hate that he’s probably right🙄🙄🙄

[Chelsy J. Maughan @ChelsyJMaughan]

Perpetual distractions🥲

[Chelsy J. Maughan @ChelsyJMaughan]

When you start a project, get distracted then find it months later and your writing style is totally different. Do you edit it or pretend it never existed?

Starting your day with an early morning run is a great way to make sure your day can’t get any worse than it started

@tammy_blakley The water is the air here, 91 degrees and 80% humidity 🫠
