I have big news! Somehow, a year and a half has flown by since I launched a) this website, b) my book series, c) the nerve to actually post photos of myself on social media. I’ve so enjoyed connecting with all of you, whether you’ve been here since the old teal website days (#neverforget) or …
Stray Thoughts: How I beat writer’s block
I cringe a little when people ask how many books I’ve written. Why? I feel like the number is awkwardly large, and I’m not someone who wants to make a big deal of anything. Of course, I appreciate people’s kind words. Writing 1.9 million words is an accomplishment. (Wow, it was hard to type that …
New Year’s Makeover
The makeover is not for me. If anything, I’m trying to become lower maintenance this year. The lucky recipient of the ‘New Year, New You’ makeover here on TTTW is…my book series! Remember my book series? No, why would you? I last spoke of it in August. One of my big goals for 2023 is …

Writing Inspiration: The Wrong Reasons

The double-edged sword of social media
If you’re reading this, chances are high you’ve clicked over from Instagram. I use that social platform all the time. I’m also a social media manager in my day job. Despite – or maybe because of – the fact that I do these things, I no longer have any personal social accounts. I very rarely …
