My younger sister went off to Scotland with her husband and brought us home gifts. A book of Scottish folklore and a postcard of Victoria Street! Thank you!! #gifts #folktales #newbook #penguinclassics https://www.instagram.com/p/B4sF0zZhgnO/?igshid=1g2e39wmpl1a7

Found this little guy in the porch. Not exactly a good place for him. #butterfly https://www.instagram.com/p/B30MgChhqH9/?igshid=1vtb7b6eg5sjw

To those who try and distract me from my goals: I will never apologize for keeping my eyes on the prize. #writer #writersofinstagram #workingonmygoals #futureauthor #amwritingyafantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/B3fG-QsBmFb/?igshid=16quw9cbumias

I decided to take a look around the library after writing, and I found these two beauties. I read them in high school, but didn’t appreciate them at the time. Let’s give them another go, shall we? #reading #readersofinstagram #literature #hemingway #carsonmccullers https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ajRIuBnir/?igshid=171693g5znk3s

I’ve been meaning to read It for a while now. No time like the present, I guess! #stephenkingsit #reading #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B3MsZ0mBcGj/?igshid=t7o3bwzkz512

One of my best friends from college hates Hemingway. This is how I got her to stop sending me gifs last night. What made it even better: she couldn’t get gifs to work on messenger after this 🤣🤣 #Friends #Lit #hemingway #iwin https://www.instagram.com/p/B3J_JXTh3Wp/?igshid=3yeqazr8jlcm

First two-day weekend for me in a while! Hoping to make progress on Monsters for Friends, starting tonight. Wish me luck y’all! #writersofinstagram #workingonmynovel #amwritingyafantasy #writing https://www.instagram.com/p/B2770MTh9GK/?igshid=1n12yb6v2pjbg

Had a meeting for work this morning. Brought my notebook with to write what I could before the meeting began. I intend to do the same during my lunch break. #amwriting #writersofinstagram #yafantasy https://www.instagram.com/p/B2zRgwTBgLo/?igshid=5twk7e83u4tr

Went out for some fun with my aunt. The day did not disappoint. 🤣 https://www.instagram.com/p/B2r5k14hZoc/?igshid=ayhox26baie5

Right from the start, Monsters for Friends has been a roller coaster experience. It served me well for my Masters degree, and I knew it needed more work done before I began to query. The chapter I worked on tonight hurt like hell, but it needed to be written. This still has a ways to go before it’s ready to be sent out, but I’m excited to see what happens. #amwriting #writerscommunity #writersofinsta #workingonmynovel https://www.instagram.com/p/B2lATxjBalU/?igshid=2ws1a7zrykhv

After a whirlwind of a day at my day job, and finally having a moment to breathe, I can get to work on Monsters. #wip #workingonmynovel #amwriting #writersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B2frv7QBSzM/?igshid=sxdgkn1rck47

Decided to read a couple stories before working on my novel. One reread - “Hills Like White Elephants” by Ernest Hemingway, and one I was encouraged to read - “The One Who Walk Away from Omelas” by Ursula K. Le Guin #amreading #shortstories https://www.instagram.com/p/B2aePVhB64K/?igshid=1c7jk2y19iuk1

I’m not very far into Foundation. I found myself taking notes every other page (and making me wonder if I’m back in grad school again). I will say this for sure: loving this so far. #reading #readersofinsta #scifi #isaacasimov https://www.instagram.com/p/B2VWivpBjSx/?igshid=uzsplxbfsgp9
