Jena Dawn

I write YA Fantasy novels. WIP's are Draugmas & Vailea (NaNoWriMo). Both are part of my Praedori Series. I also crochet as a side hustle. :)

I was asked to share 7 lines from the 7th page of my manuscript as part of a game on Twitter. I may have cheated and gone over 7 lines buuuut you can see why I couldn't cut it. This is one of my favorite scenes where my MC Sage meets the antagonist Armus. #writing #writerslife #amwriting #amediting #tweetshare #twittergames #ya #yafantasy #yafantasybooks #yawriter #ilovetowrite #draugmas

Latest book on my #TBR pile! I was hooked from the first page. This book is so brilliantly written! You'd think Biden wrote this himself. The bromance is strong. I love it! #writerslife #amwriting #amediting #booklover #bibliophile #ilovebooks📚 #ilovereading #obama #biden #bromance #mystery

Mellie is a character in #Mammoth and she's a completely crafty and artsy soul after my own heart. If you haven't heard, or seen on my feed, it's a fantastically amazing book by @jillwritesbooks that won't be out for a couple months BUT PUT IT ON YOUR WISHLIST! Seriously. Go to Amazon, Goodreads etc. and wishlist that bad boy. Anyway. Mellie decides the girls room needs a little flair so what's a nerdy crafty paleontologist want but Mammoth string art?! Here's my attempt that I hope makes Mellie proud. Now to figure out if I want it to say "Mammoth" at the bottom or "Be Awesome". #craftyasfuck #stringart #tinynails #hammeringisfun #untilyousmashyourthumb #craftylady #Mammoth #artsy #crafter #craftsarefun

Got my #Mammoth ARC I TODAY AND I'M SO EXCITED! I was sad I forgot to buy a new bookmark for this book but then BAM. I opened the book and there's a nifty little card in here. This is perfect! Also, @jillwritesbooks sent me an awesome Mammoth bag which totally came in handy at @barnesandnoble for my latest book haul :)

This is not a drill!!!! 🚨🚨🚨🚨 #Keeper is in the wild at @barnesandnoble! @kimwritesbooks your book always stuns me! I had to cheat and put this beauty up closer so people can see Lainey in all her glory! 😁😁😁😁

Crochet book covers are now my favorite thing. I can wait to get started in this project for @catherinekopfauthor. Her book Breaking Order is available on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1981781323/ref=cm_cr_othr_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8 #writerslife #amwriting #amediting #booklover #crochetlife #bookcover #bibliophile #indieauthor #arts #yarnlover #yarnlife

I've been meaning to do this forever but here are my updated aesthetics with the amazing artwork done by @pocketsizesupervillain. I cannot express enough how much I'm in love with my characters & the amazing work she did to make them come to life. Meet my MC Sage Aldridge, her fiery BFF Scarlett Creed, her mentor Master Guardian Thoreau and the bane of her existence Tristan Blackthrone. #amwriting #writerslife #amediting #ya #amwritingfantasy #aesthetics #drawings #artist #commission

I don't think I have many signed copies of books so you better believe I snagged this off the shelf when I saw it! I loved Stalking Jack The Ripper and cannot wait to read the next book. :) #writerslife #bookstagram #booklover #bibliophile #kerrimaniscalco #stalkingjacktheripper #huntingprincedracula #thomascresswell

I've had this happen a few times. They have a mind of their own! #writerslife #amediting #amwriting #ya #writerinspiration #writersofinstagram #writermotivation

We're always going to hit that moment of self-doubt but the main thing is not to quit! Your words come from your soul so they obviously mean something to you. #amwriting #amediting #writerslife #writingmuse #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writingtips #writersblock #selfdoubt #motivation

[jenadawnwrites]

I've ctrl+f my whole MS for this specifically to change this. It makes a world of a difference! Also the Emotion Thesaurus is my best friend. #amwriting #amediting #writerslife #writingmuse #writersofig #writersofinstagram #writingtips #shownottell

#sundaywipaesthetic Meet the Lycans

Today I'd like to introduce my two Lycan babies.

Aiden is a nerdy bookworm who loves to write. He's shy and super polite. The quote in his aesthetic is one from book Two but it fits the first time he met Scarlett and she's a huge part of his life so it seem appropriate.

Tristan is the hothead of the two. He's always angry and loves picking fights. The only thing that gives him a sense of calm is tinkering with mechanical items. He likes to take things apart and putting them back together even better than before.
