Enjoy this free short romance collection on Amazon! You’ll find my story: Sparks at Midnight within. Recently single, Rachel is planning a New Year’s in—full of junk food and rom coms. Until her roommate (and brother’s best friend) uses her weaknesses against her—AKA his wavy hair and dimples, and he convinces her to go out. With him. And five of his firefighter brothers. Rachel’s kept her secret crush for Derek contained, but tonight his teasing feels more like flirtation. Maybe the last night of the year is exactly the perfect time to dispense with that ‘little sister’ image Derek’s always pegged her with. Starting with a sexy sequined dress…

Who can relate??? This is to my other fellow perfe Who can relate??? This is to my other fellow perfectionist writer friends: I am a firm believer in there being such a thing as spending TOO much time on a project and losing your zeal for it. As the saying goes you’re likely: you’re beating a dead horse. 

You’ve captured the story to the best of your ability in the snap shot of time you were in. Now, it’s time to move on to the next one. 

This goes even when you tire of working on a single scene or chapter to the point that you don’t even like it anymore—then STEP AWAY. Get some perspective. Return to it when you haven’t exhausted yourself working on it. 

Just like seasons, we can tire of one and it’s okay to be ready for the next one! We love each for what they are, but staying in one too long can kill your creativity.

Writing CAN be a solitary venture and pretty lonel Writing CAN be a solitary venture and pretty lonely at times, but that’s why having writing friends is so very important! I’ve been blessed with some incredible writing friends over the last decade. As it so happens, most of them live ALL OVER. (Thanks to writing conferences and social media for bringing us together.)

I consider these ladies my “co-workers,” because even though we rarely ever see each other in person—we frequently chat, vent, brainstorm, critique, encourage, motivate, advise, and pray for one another—not just about each other’s writing careers, but life in general. So grateful to call these talented, kind, amazing women my friends. 

If you aren’t familiar with these ladies, be sure and check out their work and give them a follow. 🫶

Disclaimer: This video will likely get flagged for AI content because I used a voice-to-text feature. I do not enjoy supporting AI, but I worked too dang long on this video to NOT post it. (I’m still learning what constitutes as AI features on apps…especially ones I rarely use like CapCut.) I just wanted you to be aware so you don’t think I’m a regular user of AI for my reels and posts content. 🫶

Hope you still enjoy the behind-the-scenes look!!
