#Writer question. It's 2001, you're a 13-year-old girl in a small town; bookish, quiet, innerly rebellious; your best friend is a foul-mouthed, free-spirit. What #music do you listen to? What music does your friend listen to? Suggestions welcome. #IndieAuthor #amwriting

I'm late to the game (excuse the bad pun), but with the release of Life is Strange: Arcadia Bay Collection, I finally played #LifeisStrange. Finished in 3 days. I have never been so emotionally wrecked and creatively inspired by a video game. Send help. #LiS #PriceField

Even while away @weymouthcenternc I could not be without my own shelf of travel books. You always need options. #shelfiesunday instagram.com/p/CjghdHmpRRW/…
Afternoon setup at @weymouthcenternc. Have to keep these pages coming. instagram.com/p/CjdejyGOukT/…
remember, a first draft doesn’t have to be perfect! except for mine. mine must be flawless or I might as well quit. I am the only one this applies to.

It’s so scary to write your vulnerabilities and trauma and all the bruised parts of your heart into your book and then give it away, trusting your reader to understand. Writers really are so brave.

My writing space for the morning of day 4 of my residency with @weymouthcenternc. All outlining, notes, and remapping finished yesterday, and new pages began. Now for a 3-hour morning sprint of polish and new content. instagram.com/p/CjX7XyCOKVa/…
The setting for evening #3 of my #writing residency with @WeymouthCenter: the library. Manuscript edited. Outline reworked. Character arc redesigned. Time for some creepy music and new pages. #indieauthor #amwriting #horrorauthor #writersretreat #horror
Settling in for the start of a weeklong #writing residency. Time to polish up and finish this manuscript. #writersoftwitter #amwriting #amrevising #IAN #indieauthors

A little Apartment 239 fanart from @cwhutton! This is Acid Cat, a delightful feline who has seen some shit. Don't worry, nothing bad happens to Acid Cat and everything works out for him. As for the rest of the characters... you know... suffering legendary in hell and all that...
