      Feels like a weird time to be launching a book, bu Feels like a weird time to be launching a book, but I dunno, maybe someone would like to set aside their crippling anxiety over the fate of the world for an hour or two and read a Valentine's day love story featuring a stoic heart surgeon, a quixotic florist, and their feuding dog and cat? ⠀ ⠀ If so, click the link in my bio to download my latest book Heartbeats & Roses (co-written with Jesikah Sundin under our pen name Jae Dawson), out today!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #hartwoodholidays #valentinesday #newbook #booklaunch #contemporaryromance #romancebook
      In the Hero’s Journey (the fundamental story str In the Hero’s Journey (the fundamental story structure almost all our fave books and movies are based on), the hero has to go into the underworld and face tests, trials, tribulations, and enemies. But when he returns, he brings with him an elixir: something of value earned through his battles, something to share with his community. I think 2020 was an underworld journey for a lot of us, but for me, the elixir I came back with was surrender. In a year where everything was out of control, I finally stopped trying to control everything. I stopped trying to swim upstream, force things that weren’t working for me, do things I hated because I “should”, and insist on being unhappy until I reached some arbitrary achievement I set for myself. I let go. And seriously guys, looking back at last year, despite the external crappiness, the shift has been astounding. I worked less (a lot less) than ever before yet had my best year as an author (mentally and financially). The coolest opportunities showed up like magic. And internally, despite everything, I finally feel content, blessed, grateful. It’s been a lot of internal work to get to this place but damn, it’s worth it. I just wanted to share that elixir with you all because it holds such unexpected sweetness. ❤️
      I started tracking my word count last year, and co I started tracking my word count last year, and continued throughout this dumpster fire of a year. My goal has always been to write one chapter ever morning (Monday through Friday). That's it. I'm not a writer who burns the midnight oil (I can't work after about 5 pm, my muse is clearly enjoying happy hour past that point), and I've never had a crazy day where I'm so captured by my work that I write 10,000 words. I just show up ever day. Most days I don't really feel like writing when I start, but most days it feels like magic by the end, and I'm surprised and pleased at how the day's work has unfolded. ⠀ ⠀ This year I vowed to work smarter, not harder. I took most of August and December off (and those breaks were so instrumental to reinvigorating my craft). When I REALLY didn't feel like writing, I would go for a walk and dictate my chapter. But despite all that, I blew last year's word count out of the water! I wrote 336,072 words of new fiction this year. Six novellas, three and a half novels, and two short stories. I'm proud of myself, and excited for the year to come. I'm hoping for 450k next year, but we shall see. The end result isn't as important to me as just showing up. ⠀ ⠀ #amwriting #authorsofinstagram #writersofinstagram #5amwritersclub #dailyhabits
      10 years ago today I went on a first date with a f 10 years ago today I went on a first date with a friend of a friend... little did I know it would be the most important decision of my life! It’s hard to explain how good it’s been for this overachieving work-a-holic to marry someone whose life purpose is to have fun, experience epic adventures, love on his friends and family, and make his wife laugh. His optimism and playfulness astounds (and annoys 😅) me on a daily basis. We’ve explored five continents, summited mountains, run marathons, and more together, and we’re just getting started. There’s no one else I’d rather walk through life’s highs and lows with, and roll my eyes at his inability to take a serious picture. Love this guy ❤️
      My latest series is complete, and all six books ar My latest series is complete, and all six books are now out in the world in a lovely ebook box set, paperback, and hardcover format! Audio soon to follow 🙂 ⠀ ⠀ Writing this series was a bright spot of 2020 for me! Some books are hard and feel like pulling teeth, but these ones were fun and quick. I guess not having to create an entire new world really streamlines the process, haha. Fantasy writer problems!⠀ ⠀ https://claireluana.com/books/mythical-alliance-phoenix-team-the-complete-season/⠀ #mythicalalliance #urbanfantasy #ebook #kindle #nook #applebooks #kobo #googleplay

Editing by hand is about 1000% times more effective for me and I finally can do that without having to print out 250 pages. I have no affiliation with this thingy I’m just really excited about it! #amediting #authorsofinstagram
