Only 6 more chapters to go, then the first draft of my second novel is officially done! Feels like the end of a marathon when you’re out of breath and every step hurts, but determination keeps you going!

*fantastic start to a sunday* husband taking baby girl out to gymnastics while I indulge in a hot bevy, and dive into my writing #frenchkiss #amwriting #momswhowrite

Well then. This is a rather unplanned for, but not exactly surprising, mom wardrobe accessory: boogers. On. Everything. Who knew my part-time job would be that of a tissue! #newmom #motherhood #workingmoms

Joys of parenting an 11 month old:
Me: don’t eat that.
Daughter (said through her mighty stare): I think I should eat that.
Me: no, I really don’t think you should eat that.
Daughter: nah, I’m gonna eat that.

And the cycle continues. And continues. And continues. And…

Ooof! Not entirely sure how I’ve gone this long without reading a @colleenhoover book, but I just DEVOURED “It Ends With Us”. Consider me sufficiently shook and a new mega fan. What book of hers should I read next!? #amreading #books #readingcommunity #Read

Had a great day learning from @JenSookfongLee today!! The Alexandra Writers’ Centre Society’s spring feature workshop: Writing, Inclusion, and Diversity in Publishing. Scribbled down heaps of notes and had some good laughs. #amwriting #WritingCommunity

@feismom My pleasure!!! You helped me gain a better understanding on how to interpret responses, so thank YOU! 😊

[Bree Carney @author_bree]

Being new to #querying , what has surprised me the most is the wide range of responses I’ve received. I discovered this article last night, by ⁦⁦@feismom⁩ , and found it so useful! How to Interpret Literary Agent Rejections #amquerying #amwriting https://t.co/13EfhcsruK

@RSticekWriter @Reveal_House Sooooo exciting!!!!!!! Best of luck to you!!!!!!

[Bree Carney @author_bree]

Holy smokes - the process of writing a debut novel, beta reads, edits, and querying is REMARKABLY humbling. Rejections sting, but there’s also the thrill of starting to put my work out there! #amquerying #AuthorsOfTwitter #amwriting #womensfiction #WritingCommunity

Not saying this is resume worthy or anything … but I DID just burn carrots so badly that the enamel on the pot chipped off during my attempt to clean up the evidence. That has to be a unique skill set, no? #thisiswhyidontcook #skillsfordays #babystillatethecarrots

Great article for anyone who wondered what “women’s fiction” actually is! #amwriting #womensfiction #amreading #WomensHistoryMonth

[paige wheeler @pwheeler_agent]

What exactly IS Women’s Fiction? Have you ever wondered how the genre came to be, or thought the classification was kind of sexist? Share your thoughts! #WomensHistoryMonth #WomensFiction

@pwheeler_agent Love this article! Thanks for sharing! I remember feeling baffled when I first heard the term “women’s fictions”, b/c isn’t ALL fiction women’s fiction? But then, I do adore how growth, discovery and imperfection are at the heart of it, and I have a ton of fun writing it!

When nana’s in town, you better believe date nights are happening. Don’t mind us as we fall asleep in our entrees, our baby girl is teething and sleep is a distant memory #newparents #teethingisnojoke #Iusedtosleep #weusedtobefun #weactuallylovethis

As far as red flags in query letters go, the biggest one I’ve noticed lately is that you haven’t sent out your query yet. Why not? You’ve worked so hard. It’s time. You can do this.

Legit dreamt about THROW PILLOWS last night, and the hunt for the “best one”. It was honestly exhilarating. If that’s not a sign of aging, I’m not sure what is
