I probably should have mentioned, when I posted Christopher’s character study the other day, that it is chock-full of SPOILERS! So, you know, don’t read it if you don’t want to be spoiled for Harbinger. (But do read it if you’re the type that likes a spoiler because it makes them want to read a book!) 😉

I recently finished reading The Joy of Missing Out by @tonya.i.dalton. I raved about it in a couple of my Monday Morning Boss Babe Coffee Chat IG Lives because it made a really incredible impression on me. This quote, in particular was impactful. It made me reflect on the way I was raised to be "nice." I'm learning as I get older that being nice isn't always the same as being kind. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 'Nice' tells someone they did a great job even when there was room for improvement. 'Kind' intentionally tells that same person all the ways they were great--and constructively tells them how they can be even better next time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What do you think? Can being kind and being assertive co-exist? ─────⤜☾⤛————— #jomobook #readJOMO #selflove #mindfulness #reflection #motivation #womenwin #womenup #womenliftingwomen #getshitdone #gogetit #crushingit #startsomewhere #youcandohardthings #intentionsetting #womanboss #ladyboss #bossbabe #bossbabes #harmonyoverbalance #jomoAs strongly as I dislike walking through spiderwebs on the way out to my car in the morning (if you ever want to see me throw self-consciousness to the wind and flail like a muppet, just watch me walk through a spider web) they are really beautiful in their own way. The webs are so intricate and catching one coated in dew (or better yet, frost!) is really something to stop and admire. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This little guy (gal?) was outside my mom's house. The lighting was so cool, and the bright colors on a macabre subject made me think of my current WIP, The Cloak's Shadow. It's a little dark, and a little bright, too. ─────⤜☾⤛————— #autumn #fall #falllove #itsfall #fallfeels #fallismyfavorite #ilovefallmostofall #spiderweb #authorlife #writerlife #amwriting #amediting #authorsofig #amwritingromance #authorsofinsta #indieauthorsofinstagram #indieauthors #authorcommunityUp next on the #TBR: 𝒯𝒽𝑒 𝒟𝒶𝓇𝓀𝑒𝓈𝓉 𝒮𝓉𝒶𝓇 by @jennifer_l_armentrout ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have a goal to read 3 books in Q4 (I know, it's a small number but it's big for me these days!) I've been looking forward to this one for a while and I can't wait to start! ─────⤜☾⤛───── #romancelandia #romancereadersofinstagram #ireadromance #iwriteromance #romancereader #romancereaders #romancebook #fortheloveofbooks #booksaremagic #readingcommunity #fortheloveofbooks #booksaremagicInspired by my current WIP, 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓒𝓵𝓸𝓪𝓴'𝓼 𝓢𝓱𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔀 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you sage your home or surroundings? If so, how often? Or is there another method you use to dispell negative energy? Tell me all about it--I'm all ears! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I knew next to nothing about smudging or stones, runes or tarot when I first began research for TCS a couple of years ago. I'm still learning all the time, but the more I learn the more I want to know. ─────⤜☾⤛————— #authorlife #writerlife #amwriting #amediting #authorsofig #amwritingromance #authorsofinsta #WIP #writingresearch #indieauthorsofinstagram #indieauthors #authorcommunity #magick #trusttheuniverse #trustyourintuition #everythingisenergy #manifesting #universehasyourbackCoffee + ripped jeans is basically my aesthetic in a nutshell. ─────⤜☾⤛————— #latte #Starbucks #coffeeislife #coffee #liquidlife #pickmeup #coffeerock #rockandcoffee #cupoftheday #coffeeandseasons𝒢𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓂𝑒 𝒜𝐿𝐿 𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝐹𝒜𝐿𝐿 𝒞𝒪𝐿𝒪𝑅𝒮! Sometimes when I'm writing I like to have nature near me. It makes a good focus for staring off into space while I follow plot bunnies and build worlds in my head. Usually, I look out a window, but when the weather is especially gray, that's not very inspiring. A bright bunch of flowers always does the trick. What do you like to look at while you’re deep in thought? ─────⤜☾⤛————— #autumn #fall #falllove #itsfall #fallfeels #fallismyfavorite #ilovefallmostofall #authorlife #writerlife #amwriting #amediting #authorsofig #amwritingromance #authorsofinsta #indieauthorsofinstagram #indieauthors #authorcommunity #bookishinseattle #awriterslifeforme
