by

Hello lovelies, I’ve been thinking a lot of about this and I’ve realized it’s been a while since I’ve reviewed books on this blog. With everything that’s been going on, it’s not like I really have the time. But I started 2016 off strong with reading and thought I’d share some of my favorites, with quick reviews. This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab (Verity … Read More Mini-Reviews: January 2016 Edition

#authorlifemonth Day Twenty-Two: My Publishing Team 🍃 . . Hello. It’s me. Being a total dork. But also, being my own publishing team. 🍃 . . I do have to send a big shoutout to my CPs tho, because I couldn’t do any of this without Amy and Mallory. Also, my amazing cover designers, who see my vision before I can even put it into words. And I have some amazing friends as well, who keep me encouraged not to give up. So while they might not be a conventional publishing team, they are my publishing family. 🍃 . . I’m querying to agents this year, so we shall see if my publishing family will expand in 2019. 🍃 . . Do you have a publishing team? Who are they?🍃 . . . . . . . . . . . #authorlife #amwriting #valialind #authorlifemonth2019 #photography #portrait #abmlifeisbeautiful #thehappynow #writersofig #authorsofinstagram #bookworm #booknerdigan
#authorlifemonth Day Twenty-One: Greatest Writing Strength 🍃 . . I never feel like I have any strengths, because I am my own worst critic. I am getting better at description, I think. And. I have been told that my romantic relationships are a strength. 🍃 . . The Skazka Chronicles especially received some love because readers loved Calista and Brendan. Which made my heart so happy because theirs is an impossible love. Through it all, they make each other better and I loved writing their story. With my new series, I get to explore a new relationship every book and it’s so much fun! Currently, I’m writing enemies to lovers and loving it!🍃 . . . What is your greatest writing strength? 🍃 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #amwriting #authorlife #authorlifemonth2019 #theskazkachronicles #valialind #azwriters #bookstagram #booklove #booknerdigan #writersofig #bookworm #bookishgirl
#authorlifemonth Day Twenty: Greatest Writing Weakness 🍃 . . Honestly, I have way too many to choose from. Sentence structure. Overuse of specific words. Not enough description. Too much description. Spelling. I’m a mess. I’m not sure how I get anything done. 🍃 . . Also, I never feel like anything is finished! I second guess everything I write. It’s a constant struggle. Which is why I try to read and learn as much as possible from the amazing and gracious authors who share their knowledge. On Writing is one of my favorite books. It encourages me every time I read it. I never want to become complacent and stop learning. Not when I know I can better my craft. 🍃 . . . Do you have a favorite book on your craft?🍃 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #authorlife #amwriting #bookworm #bookstagram #booknerdigan #stephenking #onwriting #authorsofinstagram #booklove #amreading #authorlifemonth2019 #writersofig
#authorlifemonth Day Nineteen: Non-Bookish Hobby 🍃 . . Does sleeping count? Wait. I don’t do that often enough for it to be a hobby. #writerslife 🍃 . . Lately, I haven’t had much time for my art, but when I do, I either paint or zentangle. One of the aspects of bullet journaling that I love is that if I wanted to take two pages for a drawing, I can. That’s where most of my art has been happening lately. With work and writing, I just haven’t been taking as much time for focus on it. 🍃 . . But I’m working on it 🍃 . . . What’s your non-bookish hobby? 🍃 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #authorsofinstagram #watercolorpainting #zentangle #art #authorlife #writersofinsta #authorlifemonth2019 #amwriting #valialind #abmlifeiscolorful #booknerdigan #bulletjournal #bujoart
#authorlifemonth Day Eighteen: Dream Author Meeting 🍃 . . This challenge has really helped me realize how blessed I’ve been! When I tried to figure out which author to mention here, I realized I have met many of my heroes. It boggles my mind! 🍃 . . One of my more recent ones was meeting Darynda Jones. I absolutely love the Charley Davidson series by her and it’s what pushed me to finally start writing PNR! I fangirled all over the place meeting Darynda and she was most gracious! 🍃 . . Who is one of your dream authors to meet?🍃 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #authorlifemonth2019 #authorsofinstagram #bookstagram #booknerdigan #bookworm #coffeeandbooks #writersofig #authorlife #abmlifeisbeautiful #booklove #igwriter
#authorlifemonth Day Seventeen: Goals Accomplished 🍃 . . I have a bunch of lists (I love making lists). This is just one of them and I love that half of it has been accomplished. I have some major ones left on the list, as you can see. But I’m making progress. Slowly but surely. 🍃 . . The big one I’ve been able to cross off lately is finishing a trilogy. And then my dad reminded me that I’ve finished two. I’m still riding that high and trying to remember to celebrate my successes. It’s so easy to focus on the failures. 🍃 . . . Do you have a goal you have reached recently? Let’s celebrate our successes! 🍃 . . . . . . . . . . . #authorlife #authorlifemonth2019 #amwriting #authorgoals #bookworm #booknerdigan #booklife #writersofig #abmhappylife #crystals
