After sending the MS through beta readers and critique groups- it's time to shut out the noise and focus on rewriting it to be the absolute best version of the story I want to tell.

Tldr: I'm going to be a writing hermit for a bit. Love to y'all!

@amberazadi I was also in Macys when it happened. I'm glad it wasn't a shooting.

My 7 yr old at the beach.
Sitting right at the edge of the water so waves splashed right in her face.
Singing "DARE TO BE STUPID!" between each wave.

In my happy place, thinking about my novel where my MC is trying to restore a wellspring of spiritual power centered on the Point.

Is it possible for a character to lie by omission for half the book and still be liked at the end?

He's lying because he's afraid of losing his best friend and ashamed of the awful thing he did.

@sarareadauthor I haven't written much since June. I'm trying to figure out how to get back into writing, teach, grad school, and mom all at the same time. Seeing a therapist is helping, but time is a valuable resource.

@sarareadauthor Re-imagining my entite series. I now have 60 pages of notes with character, setting, and plot changes and now just need to find time to start drafting.

[Melissa Rogers @Werewolf_Lit]

@sarareadauthor My favorite is connecting with people in person at workshops/conferences etc, but I'll take zoom CP meetings and DMs about each other's work.

[Melissa Rogers @Werewolf_Lit]

@sarareadauthor Hi!

Social Media has connected me to so many amazing writers/betas/critique partners and also gave me a wealth of resources to improve my craft and help me feel less alone. ♡

@julietwildeside Happy Birthday!!

[Melissa Rogers @Werewolf_Lit]

Whether the night is dark and stormy or filled with starlight, a new day comes with the rising sun.
(And a 6 year old singing Jingle Bells, but that's beside the point)

[Melissa Rogers @Werewolf_Lit]

Major breakthrough in my plotting/planning happened during a nice long shower after raking leaves all afternoon and I'm freaking GIDDY about it. Been awhile since that's happened.

@SunnySideUpMic @teachbk I came here to say something similar. Yes- teachers should be reading- but that doesn't mean that you can just teach what you read.

Mine is 100% a "We're not home right now!" But will leave a massive bucket of locally sourced sweets with a neighbor to distribute.

It's Halloween!
What kind of Candy does your MC give out?
