I’ve been down with bronchitis for 10 days, but this weekend I managed 2k words on my novelette for the next Once Upon anthology. Look for The Witch Collector in Once Upon an Enchanted Forest in September 😍 https://www.instagram.com/charissaweaksauthor/p/BxGptx1At8j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=h3a733avtcbg

Love this! Saw it on @jillshalvis FB. Sometimes it’s okay to chill. Which I shall do today. Beside the ocean. 🌊🍍🌴🌺 🌞🌊 ......................................... #rest #relaxation #chill #beach #amwriting #writing #writersofinstagram #quoteoftheday #tired #rejuvenate (at Miramar Beach, Florida)

This song is making my brain work. Also makes me think of Shape of Water by #GuillermoDelToro, which I’m dying to see.

Coffee spoons with word stamps. The stamp is so crooked, but I couldn't walk away! I'm embracing imperfection, lol. #coffee #powersheetsprepweek #wordporn

Hubs brought home some local #wine. Wine, cupcakes...he's buttering me up for something. 😉 @gswinery @mmusicworks

I haven't drawn in YEARS. Deciding to pick doodling back up along with idea journaling. I made a faux pas with the watch hands 😂 but playing around with this today was actually cathartic! #journaling

Writer Anne Sexton. If I had to use a typewriter, you wouldn't be able to walk in my office. #amwriting #writing #authors #authorsofinstagram #writerlife

Not sure if this is going to help revisions, but... #amrevising #amwriting

[charissaweaksauthor]

How I feel today :) I'm in final revisions before this book is off to the powers that be. It's kicking my ass every day, (time travel across centuries is no joke, y'all), but you have to kick back. If you want something, no matter how tough the road to get there, be tenacious. Fight like hell for it. #amwriting #amrevising #writing #motivation

So excited to read this!! #darkmatter #books @blakecrouch1

Started this yesterday, wasn't too sure if I liked the 3rd person omniscient, but the voice was so strong and the language so fun, I had to keep going. By midnight, I had to make myself put the book away so I could work today. I read all over the spectrum, and for para rom, this is a fresh delight. #amreading #reading #books #booklover #parasolprotectorate @gailcarriger

Hahaha. Isn't that the truth?!!! Most days my brain is fried. So thankful for @melindascollins and @drunkenspacecaptain for helping me keep this book on point. #amwriting #timetravel #writing
