Doing my best to float through this weekend. #rest #recover #refuel . . . #trees #pines #freshair #breathe

It's been quite a week, y'all. Can we cancel tomorrow?

Kai uses the F word a lot in Dark & Stormy, but reading it as a verb so much instead of an expletive was hard for me. That said, if you like racy, twisted thrillers, this is that. Also, explicit 😳 ~ not my jam. . . . #bookreviews #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booklife #bookcommunity #bookish #bibliophile #igreads #readersofig #readerslife

I have been many kinds of writer over the years, starting with "everything is flooding out of me while my house burns down" to "I need a quiet weekend away to be creative." . #whateverworks for the life phase you're living. . Currently I've settled into a scene a day (if my morning or afternoon allows for it). . #habithelps . That's about 5 pages and maybe I'll keep going for a second scene, but if I try to do too much my brain sort of fizzles out. (I'm all about working smarter and not harder). . #workwithyourlimits . Either way, it's not an epic feat, it's a decision. . #discipline and #commitment . #amwriting #process #craft #writersofig #justdoit #noexcuses

#weekendreads with a to-do list tucked inside as a bookmark, because then maybe I won't get too carried away? . . . Ha! . . . At least it'll be a reminder... #amreading #thriller #Verity #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #igreads #readersofig #readerslife #bookwormproblems

Definitely ignoring social media and my emails this week, as best I can, because #newbook. It's blurry being in two places at once 😉 . . . What adult topic do you like reading about the most? (Affairs, mental illness, slice-of-life, for some examples). . . . #amwriting #womensfiction #drama and #betrayal #writersofinstagram #writerslife #authorsofig #writerscommunity #writerproblems #giveaway #freebook

"An extravagant feast of a book - dizzyingly magical, and still, somehow, utterly believable." - Laini Taylor . . . In this episode of things I (re)learned : I prefer my #fantasy meaty but not convoluted. Kingdom politics always convolutes me, and it's why I tend to stay away from adult fantasy. BUT. I liked this one. Definitely worth the read if it's your type of thing, or close to your type of thing. . . . #bookreviews #bookrecommendations #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #igreads #readmorebooks #readersofig #readerslife

And just when I think the second POV is starting to get interesting, enter training scenes 🤦‍♀️ . . . I was almost committed to the sequel, but now not sure again. So frustrating when you love a book and are bored by it at the same time. . . . 🙋‍♀️ Not the target audience. . . . #amreading #adultfantasy #atleastitsnotzombies #readinglunch #bookstagram #booksofinstagram

Ok so I 💛💛💛 to write multiple POVs but am struggling with one of the 2 in this current read, probably because #kingdompolitics. I find kingdom politics/mechanics that much more boring than even real politics 😉 . . . #QOTD : What do you struggle to read about, every time? Glassy eyes, gloss over, etc. . . . #amreading #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booklife #bookcommunity #bookish #igreads #readersofig #readerslife #readerproblems
