Seeing my debut featured on a BookBub deal this morning is… possibly one of the greatest Wins I have ever had in my life 🙌🏼

It's already time for our next StoryClub author Q&A! Join us Thursday, June 18, at 7 p.m. MDT for a Q&A session with Jolie Taylor, author of THE TOTALLY NOT BORING BOOK OF FEELINGS. Tune in to learn about Jolie's work as an author of children's books. You can learn more about her and her books on her website here: https://www.endlessfairytales.com/ Also, all past author Q&A sessions are recorded under the classroom tab here on StoryClub. If you missed Aaron H. Hall's or Allison Anderson's, be sure to check them out!

“Preparing to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Making a to-do list for the thing isn't doing the thing. Telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Writing a banger tweet about how you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on yourself for not doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on other people who have done the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on the obstacles in the way of doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Fantasizing about all of the adoration you'll receive once you do the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about how to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about how other people did the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading this essay isn't doing the thing. The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.” — Strangest Loop I don't know about you guys, but when I feel like I'm "failing," I often find through self-reflection that I am doing something on this list other than doing the thing. Anyone else?

More than twenty years to finally finish my first book. Aiming for 18 months for number two!

Super excited and full of imposter syndrome, but happy to be here! Also, I spent an hour last night ironing out this freaking black table cloth, and this picture highlights every single horrible wrinkle! What a waste of time 😂😂
