I don’t follow the advice “write every day.” Here’s why: https://wheredaisiesgrow.substack.com/p/forget-the-advice-write-every-day What’s your writing routine? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Today, I submitted a draft of my marketing/back copy blurb to my publisher! 🙌 Stay tuned as I document my journey from draft to publication. #WriteSky #HistoricalFantasy #YoungAdultLit

I’m back from vacation and ready to write!… except I have a pile of things I now need to play catch-up on. So, my #CreativeWriting goals for this week? One and only one: finish a secret project I’ve been working on. 😀 What are your goals this week? Let’s hold each other accountable! #WriteSky

Preach! Does the idea in your head ever translate the precise way you want it to on the page? I heard once to aim for 80% perfect, because otherwise we'd never stop writing/editing/tweaking! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

My first official meeting with my publisher is on my calendar… and I’m still pinching myself! I can’t wait to share more. #WriteSky #WritingJourney

When I was a young mom, I had such a hard time finding the time to write. Gone were the days I spent hours immersed in the worlds of my characters. I had to adjust and find a new way of writing… and journaling helped me a ton. 1/2

Spring break starts Friday, so I’m trying to be reasonable with my #WritingGoals this week! 1. Submit my nonfiction proposal (just need to do some final edits!) 2. Light edit on 10 chapters of my NA contemporary & send to my writing partner. What about you? Let’s cheer each other on! #WriteSky

My accountability partner @writerceci.bsky.social - we keep each other on track by sharing our goals each week! Also, my free accountability club where we co-write together. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

The journey to my book contract has been a wild ride and years in the making... and I'll be sharing more about it over on Substack. https://wheredaisiesgrow.substack.com/p/the-journey-to-a-book-contract #WriteSky #YAAuthor #WritingCommunity #AmPublishing #AmEditing

I’m working on an ‘Artist Statement,’ & this is… hard. I’d love some inspiration. Do you have an artist statement? How did you approach writing it? I’m using some writing prompts, and they’re extremely helpful, but I’d love to hear what some of you fabulous writers/artists have done. #WriteSky

Here is an oddly specific question: in a guided journal, do you prefer pages with lines or without? 🤔 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Journal

18 Mar 2026 02:44 +0000

My journal is my safe place to tinker with ideas & explore big ideas and worlds without fear of judgement. It’s not a draft of a story. Heck, sometimes it’s nothing more than an observation. But it’s a playground where I can turn off my inner editor & just… have fun. Do you journal? #WritingLife

This week’s creative writing goals: 1. Draft a new picture book 2. Get started on a proposal for a non-fiction book. What are yours? Let's keep each other accountable! #WritingCommunity #WriteSky

"I felt frozen, like a statue in my studio. But not one of those beautiful ancient masterpieces. More like something that was being chipped away slowly, and the image the sculptor had in his head was not showing up in the stone." - from my WIP New Adult contemporary Share yours! #WriteSky [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Today I turned in my YA historical fantasy to my publisher. This still feels surreal. 💖 #WriteSky

Ever feel like your writing process is taking forever? There's a reason for that... and trust me when I say you're not alone: https://wheredaisiesgrow.substack.com/p/why-progress-sometimes-feels-slow #WritingLife #WritingTips #WriteSky #KidLit

A very happy early birthday to me! I signed a book contract with Apprentice House Press for my YA historical fantasy about Charlotte Corday! 🎉🎉 #WriteSky

12 Mar 2026 19:30 +0000

Oh gosh, how do I pick?! Anything with heart -- whether its a memoir, literary fic, or coming-of-age novel. I love surprises (mysteries). And learning (history, thoughtful nonfic). And world-building and magic (fantasy, magical realism). So, yeah, I like a lot. <3 [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Sometimes I take for granted that I've been journaling for nearly 40 years. I've been tinkering with words and stories for that long too... so what do you want to know about the writing process? What questions can I answer? #AmWriting #WriteSky

Last Friday, I took the day “off” and I learned about creative cross-pollination. https://wheredaisiesgrow.substack.com/p/when-i-stepped-away-from-my-writing #AmCreating #Art #Writing

From chapter 1 : People started to leave, passing through the door, letting music out a few seconds at a time. As soon as the door closed, the sound disappeared, as if the room wasn’t packed with people dancing and drinking. Out here, I was there but I wasn’t. Kind of like the rest of my life.

I’m about to talk about alllll the different journaling methods there are over on Substack. Which one will be right for you? Come join the convo! WhereDaisiesGrow.Substack.com https://WhereDaisiesGrow.Substack.com

We are who we are... until we change. Over on Substack, I share my musings about how our identities shift over time, sometimes slowly, and sometimes it's like falling through a portal into a totally different world. I'd love to hear what you think: https://open.substack.com/pub/wheredaisiesgrow/p/when-your-identity-shifts?r=fuy9s&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true #AmThinking

Author JP Lee didn’t share her writing at first… but with her debut YA fantasy coming out this spring, she’s been sharing a peek behind the curtain: https://www.oopsanddaisies.com/interview-with-jp-lee/ #YA #WriteSky #Interview

One of my writing/critique partners just likened my New Adult contemporary to "One Day" by David Nicholls -- a book I ADORED -- which means she just made my entire week. <3 Thank you @writerceci.bsky.social!

In the winter, it’s the cozy cave of my basement. Once the weather allows for it, outside I go! I have a comfy outdoor chair with a small side table and my backyard view to keep inspiring me. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
