Wordy Wednesday: It's possible I've said this before, but this might be one of my favorite words. I've never used it, but you bet your bottom dollar I'm going to start!⁠ Have you ever heard of it? Have you used it in your writing or speech?⁠ ⁠ #wordywednesday #words #englishvocab #vocabulary #learning #wordstouse #wordstoknow #writing #amwriting #writersofinstagram

Do you read on KOBO? Stepping Across the Desert is free for the next week there. Go check it out! ⁠ ⁠ All Rowena wants to is go home, to see her father again, to become herself again. One day, when a stranger appears her dreams have the ability to come true. ⁠ What she never realized that going home would disrupt the lives of those she loves, almost ruining them. When she finds herself in front of the stranger again in England, Rowena has to ask herself: Does she have the right to marry the man she's fallen in love with? ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #writers #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #fiction #historicalfiction #fromancefiction #shortstory #authorsofinstagram #writerslife #writersofinstagram #memoir #essay #creativewriting #flashfiction #authorlife #alwayswriting #wip

Only partly true... ? I spend my day writing, thinking of stories, reading (if I can) and telling my kids to get off their phones... Photo taken by @peggycormaryphotography #writinglife #writingcommunity #writer #authorsofinstagram #timetowrite #author #authorlife #books #book

Though I’m in another country now, I can’t help but remember from where I came. Though my country isn’t perfect, it’s mine. And I love it. And all who call it home. #happyfourth #fourthofjuly #happyfourth?? #celebrate #freedom #usa??

In the Creative Writing Community we write together three days a week. We write for 20 minutes, rest for 5 and then do the same circuit again three, sometimes FOUR times through. It helps to know you aren't alone and it's amazingly productive. ⁠ Are you looking for a place like that? Come join us!⁠ ⁠ Link for more info in my bio or hit me with a DM!⁠ ⁠ #creativewriting #Community #writinggroups #digitalwritinggroups #writingcommunity #writerslife #writingtogether #timetowrite #write #books #authorlife #writingcommunity

Five years have passed since Rowena was kidnapped and sold as a slave, but still she dreams of reaching home. When a stranger shows up deserving of a prize for saving the son of Rowena's owner, she becomes the gift. Though the circumstances are less than ideal, they may just be perfect for getting her back home. But once back, will her past ruin everything, not only for her but also for her family?

Wordy Wednesday:Valorous. ⁠ I like this word. Time to use more synonyms. ⁠ ⁠ What do you think?⁠ ⁠ For my mom, a sentence:⁠ The history of the valorous and witty-knight-errant, Don-Quixote, of the Mancha. (since I'm in Spain, I figured this was appropriate ?)⁠ ⁠ #wordywednesday #words #englishvocab #vocabulary #learning #wordstouse #wordstoknow #writing #amwriting #writersofinstagram #history #wordhistory #literature #wordsinliterature #donquixote
