The way I am kicking myself for not having a book with me.
I know better than this.
Whoa! My picture book comes out NEXT YEAR!
My book is available on Netgalley, should you fancy:

Finally got some words down after a few days of being too busy, and I hate his discouraged I feel. This story hasnβt found its stride yet, but still it just feels like Iβm writing holes, holes, holes. Looking forward to the sessions where the words just flow and feel right.
2K words today! Thatβs the most Iβve done in one sitting in awhile.
Iβm just going to keep going and hope the solution to my plot problem comes to me. Iβve gotta trust these characters to show me their story.
Just saw that my Kindle preorder is on sale on Amazon, if youβre wanting to read it that way!

So, I just realized today a major plot problem with my #WIP and now Iβm feeling discouraged.
This really hasnβt been my drafting π

Itβs #Octowrimo, and I am once again going to use #booksky for my accountability/progress thread. Itβs day 4 of the month, day 3 of revising and Iβm at 4211 words. When I did my initial re-read, I was like, βAww, this story is great!β Now Iβm like, βAhh! If donβt know about this story!β Pushing on!
THE SUMMER SCRAPBOOK comes out on May 5, 2026!

555ish words on the struggle bus today. At this rate, the whole book is just going to be talking. 45K words of dialogue, my friends. *sigh*
Back after a few days break. But the words flowed pretty easily today! Did 1K and liking how the FMC, MMC and their little brothers are fitting together.
Just under 2K today, and I am still pulling teeth for every word. Although, by the end of this session I was starting to feel a bit better about it all. Looking forward to the time when the words start to flow.
900 words today. More of the Show show. Tomorrow I'm writing a diary entry and then getting into the action. First draft edits will definitely be coming for these early chapters. Also, I need new ideas for girl names! I don't like the ones I'm using. What is a good 14 year old girl name?? I need 3.
500 words today. I wasn't in the mood to write, but I'm trying to get myself back into the habit. But were all 500 words fresh hot crap? 100%. The beginnings of my stories always change, though, so I'm not too worried.
About 1K words. Too much talking and "telling" today, but I haven't drafted in awhile, so trying to re-find my groove!
Coming back to Bluesky to start an accountability thread! I just started my new #WIP today and will post daily word counts and ramblings here!
Happy book birthday @chloeitoward.bsky.social! #MadeForMore
Yay Clare! ππΏ
Next, @gigigriffis.bsky.social latest! Coming in a few months, I believe?
First, my agent sibling @mjgwrite.bsky.social! I still need to read book one, but I was super excited to get my hands on this!
Iβm going to shout out some upcoming books while I have some free time! Letβs goooo!
Yay, vacation day! The familyβs all out of the house and I can relaxβ¦nope. Just kidding. I have to clean π #AdultingSucks
Miami! Iβm chatting with YA author #AbigailHingWen next Thursday night at @booksandbooks.bsky.social! Come hang out with us!

Had some unexpected time this morning to work on edits and Iβm feeling pretty good! Especially for a Monday!
Welcome to #TeamHeather! ππΏ
A Happy National Heather Day to you!
I mean, 1000% accurate.
Iβ¦really wish toddlers understood the concept of βmommyβs sickβ and would just, I donβt know, do what I ask today? ππ
Hoping to get the tree up!
