I constructed myself a built-in writing desk. I’m super proud of this DIY project and the finished project. I can’t wait to see all the words I write at this new writing space. • Desktop: plywood stained and coated with polyurethane. Filing Cabinet: thrifted and painted. Rug: Amazon. #writingstudio #amwriting #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #writing #writer #author #writingspace #writingdesk #diy #diyhomedecor

The sweetest floof that ever lived. Don’t mind me, I’ll just be over here snuggling with this floof monster all weekend.

Latergram highlights from my work trip to Washington, D.C. I think my favorite part of the trip was the private reception we had at the Library of Congress where we got to hear the Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, address a roomful of law librarians. #aall #lawlibrarian #lawlibrary #lawlibraries #lawlibrary @librarycongress

Camp NaNoWriMo week 1 roundup is up on the blog today! Link in bio. • I wrote more than 10,000 words in week 1! I am so proud of that work but I’m also nervous about being able to carry that through to week 2. I went back to work this week and am traveling for a work conference at the end of the week - that leaves me small chunks of time to schedule in and fit writing into each day. It’s time to get creative about when and where I write. • @nanowrimo #amwriting #nanowrimo #nanowrimo2019 #campnanowrimo #campnanowrimo2019 #writersofinstagram #writing #authorsofinstagram #author

My favorite sight to wake up to ❤️

Pro tip: keep a pitcher of iced coffee in the fridge and at the ready so that when the writing inspiration hits you first thing in the morning you won’t have to wake up your husband with the coffee bean grinder. • So far, I’m doing really well this round of Camp NaNoWriMo. I’ve written more than 4,000 words in three days. This is due in large part to the fact that when I do sit down to write, I’m focusing on my time, rather than my word count. Every day, the goal is for 100 minutes of uninterrupted solid writing time. Thats just over 1.5 hours. That’s it. And I break those 100 minutes into 25 minute chunks with breaks built in. Thank goodness for the Rombauer method and the @thetideful for helping me stay mindful and present during my writing sessions. • If you’re thinking about doing Camp NaNoWriMo but haven’t started yet, what are you waiting for? Remember, It doesn’t have to be perfect Just get it down Write ten words You can’t revise a blank page Doubt is normal You can do this! • #campnanowrimo #campnanowrimo2019 #nanowrimo #amwriting #writersofinstagram #writing #writingtips #writingcommunity #authorsofinstagram #author @nanowrimo

Happy first day of camp NaNoWriMo! I haven’t given very many writing updates lately, and that’s because life has been crazy as of late. But I’m back to it and I’ve got big goals! • Not too long ago, I completely rearranged my book. I had close to 100,000 words written, but the plot wasn’t clicking. And then I realized, the bulk of what I had written actually belonged in book 2, rather than book 1. So, thanks to the ease of Scrivener, I completely rearranged the books. Now, the bulk of what I wrote is in book 2 and I’m starting over on book 1. • I’ve got about 30,000 words written in book 1. My goal for NaNoWriMo is to finish draft zero of book 1 so that I can spend August revising it and having beta readers read the draft and give me feedback. Then, I want to try to submit the book on Pitch Wars in September. • These are big and scary dreams, but I still believe in this story and in these characters, more than ever now that I’ve spent so much time writing them and building out their world. • So, this is my accountability post. If you see me on social media this July, call me out and kick me off. If you see me in person, offer me some words of encouragement. I want this, but nothing in life comes easy, especially writing a book. So, cheers to a month of camp and a month of hard work! • #campnanowrimo #campnanowrimo2019 #nanowrimo #amwriting #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #write #writing @campnanowrimo @nanowrimo

It’s time to do work.. time for apples and fish oil, time for coffee with foam, time for writing novels and losing all sense of time. I’m going on airplane mode today - do not disturb in full effect. Happy Saturday! #amwriting #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #writing #writer #author #authorlife #writerlife
