Okay. Here’s my serious take. Hi #WritingCommunity ! I have been writing for over a decade. I have a handful of self-pubs and two trad-pubbed mysteries. #amquerying a romcom/mystery rn. Happy to chat about writing/publishing anytime 😃

When my child was 15 she was really into miniatures, so she made this abandoned bathroom out of polymer clay and other random things we had lying around the house...just for fun. The fixtures are mostly beads, etc. For scale, this is about 4 inches wide by 12" deep.

Years ago, I asked a neighbor if she cared to beta read for me as we talked books often. When she finished, for some reason, I felt like I owed her something, so I gifted her a handmade quilt. Her reply? “Thank you. I’ll keep it in my car.” I think about that a lot.

I was minding my business, sanding this chair, when my neighbor came over and talked my ear off; said she was bored and had read several books recently. So, naturally, I said if she wanted to read one of mine, I had a few inside. Dear reader, she said no. The struggle is real 😭

Apologies for over-marketing, but as an indie author, usually hustling leads to a lack of self confidence. That's been true for me, but recently 3 strangers have told me my book is good (!) and that's given me a boost. Now, how do I get anybody besides those 3 people to read it??

My cousin recently wrote a book and my aunt was asking me questions about the process. I assumed that meant he was planning to self-pub, but then she said, "Why don't you just get a publisher? That's what we're planning to do." Of course! Why didn't I think of that? My bad. 🤔😆

The story: my mom loved to refinish chairs. She taught me. She passed from breast cancer six years ago. My daughter rescued this pair of chairs. I taught her how to fix them. Very healing. I wrote a book of fiction based on this called Chair Repair and Other Ways to Die. ❤️
