Shelby Mahurin, via YA Books Central said in an interview: "...I often think revising is a lot like putting together a puzzle upside down." • Also props to Shelby for what magic costs in this novel. I very much like. • #amreading #yafantasy #witches #magic #amrevising #writersofig

"A witch and a witch hunter bound in holy matrimony. There was only one way such a story could end-- A stake and a match." • #buddyreads #yafantasy #blurbgoals #serpentanddove

This is what hard work looks like 😄 • But also, how do you suppose you capture the magic of the morning, still with a cup of coffee but before you get so hungry you have to get up and eat? • #amwriting #amediting #writersofig #writersofinstagram

Do you blame yourself, as the reader, when you struggle with the world-building? When things seem hazy and you can't quite make sense of it all? When the edges aren't clear? • I usually do, but then there's Laini Taylor, who does some crazy elaborate world-building, and Maggie Stiefvater, who could perhaps even be considered convoluted at times, though always clear. • #worldbuilding #craft #QOTD #amreading #amlearning #yalit

So I walked into the bookstore this weekend and purchased these based on my interest in their first pages. • Because I've been collecting books based on recommendations lately and I lose interest SO fast. It's sad. • Okay, so title and cover had to catch me first, but I was more liberal with those. • #firstlines #amreading #yalit #bookstagram

Just putting this here. Go conquer your weekend 😉 • #quotes #inspiration #amwriting #craft #practicemakesart #justdoit
