Discovering the world you’re writing in is so invigorating. My current WIP is a co-authoring endeavor. Creating characters. Discovering the little details in their relationships is so fun. It’s been a while since I’ve written without distraction. My inner critic has been locked away. #writingjoy

Poem 3, "Ironing," is an homage to my mom. When I began to type it, it took the shape of an iron! Not in the initial notebook draft, but ❤️ how we can be #surprisedbywriting #writingjoy #AmWriting #PoetryasPractice #WriteforYourLife #NationalPoetryMonth

Snarky dialogue can really bring characters to life! It adds wit and charm. Keep those smiles coming! 😄✨ #WritingJoy #SFF #DialogueMagic
There's a lot of snarky dialogue in my story, which makes me smile when I come across it, but I can't think of anything specific right now.

That sounds like such an exciting journey! 🌌✨ Balancing established IPs and fanwork is an art! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the book! #SFF #DoctorWho #WritingJoy 💖📚
<3 <3! I'm so fascinated as a SFF writer about the space between writing for an established IP and fanwork, and how one juggles all that, and how the Dr Who fandom reacted to EDAs... but I've got to finish reading the book before trying to pick anyone's brain!
