At 58, I'm about to accomplish something that once existed only in my imagination.
And the most beautiful part?

Let's talk about fictional men for a moment. 😂
What makes a male character unforgettable?
His confidence?
His sense of humor?
His loyalty?
His vulnerability?
Or the way he treats someone when nobody else is watching?
I have my own answer, but I'm curious about yours.
Readers, tell me! ❤️📚
A little Friday humor...
I have approximately 37 tabs open on my computer, three unfinished cups of coffee, a notebook full of reminders, and a to-do list that appears to be reproducing overnight.
Apparently, this is what the final days before publishing a novel look like. 😂
11 days to go!

Good evening, X!
Have had sketchy service up here in the North Georgia Mountains, but it sure is beautiful to watch the leaves change!
🍂🍁
Hope you have had a wonderful day!
12 DAYS. 🌊❤️
There's something surreal about knowing that in less than two weeks, characters who have lived in my imagination for so long will become part of someone else's world.
Readers will form their own opinions, discover their own connections, and perhaps see pieces of themselves in the story.
That's both exciting and a little terrifying.
But isn't that the beauty of storytelling?
Once you release a story into the world, it no longer belongs only to you.
October 27. *Where the Tide Turns.*

Question for my fellow book lovers:
Have you ever finished a novel and found yourself genuinely missing the characters?
Not just the story.
The PEOPLE.
As though you'd spent weeks getting to know someone, and suddenly they were gone.
That's the kind of connection I hope to create with my own writing. 📚❤️
#BookLovers #ReadersOfX
One thing writing fiction has taught me is that people are rarely as simple as they appear.
Everyone carries a story we haven't heard.
A fear they don't discuss.
A memory they haven't shared.
A reason they react differently than we might expect.
Maybe that's why I love developing characters so much.
It reminds me to look beyond the surface in real life, too. ❤️

Monday confession:
I used to think finishing a novel would be the hardest part of becoming an author.
Then I discovered ISBNs, trim sizes, distribution platforms, cover specifications, metadata, and something called a bleed margin. 😂
I'm convinced publishing a book should come with an honorary degree.
15 days until release! ❤️🌊

Something to think about this Sunday.
We spend so much of our lives believing there's a timeline we're supposed to follow.
By this age, we should have accomplished this. By that age, we should have figured out that.
But who decided that?
Some of the most beautiful chapters of our lives begin when we stop watching the clock.
Happy Sunday. ❤️
I've decided writing a novel is a little like raising children.
You create these characters, give them personalities, try to guide them in the right direction...
And then they completely ignore you and do whatever they want. 😂
Any other writers have characters who refuse to cooperate?

Good morning! ☕️
Nothing tests your confidence quite like sending a text, rereading it immediately, and discovering a typo you absolutely swear was not there when you hit send. 😂
Happy Friday, friends. ❤️
