Pop the Bronze Balloon Release Day!August 4th, 2020

5 months to go.

Coffee just tastes better on Friday, don’t you think? Writers gotta write, so if you need me I’ll be in the writing cave all day, probably all weekend. This new manuscript is such a fun story to build, but like any other job, it’s hard! I’m really not complaining though, I still can’t believe this IS my job! Have a happy happy weekend! ☺️ I hope you get to do something fun, something that you love to do too! * * * * * #amwriting #writingcommunity #middlegradefiction #kidlit #books #writingbooks #writerslife #writersofig #Middlegradebooks #writingday

Hi Guys! Are you into colorful, positive messages? Well, I’ve started a new Instagram account @swirlandspark filled with exactly that and I hope you’ll take a look! Here, on this account, I’ll continue to share bits of my every day life, like book and family stuff. But there, you’ll find more motivation like writing inspiration, positivity, and chase your big dreams content. I love color & Disney and think pictures of both can inspire everyone! Besides, it makes me so happy to cheer on my friends. So I hope you’ll check it out and get your own daily pep talks. And hopefully, by following me there as well, you’ll be inspired to chase your big dreams too. See you there! 🟡 🔵 🟣 🟢 🔴 #swirlandspark #JackieYeager #Motivation #DreamBig #DailyPepTalk

Some stories come as a surprise. Bella never planned on falling in love with a vampire and I never planned on loving a whole book series about it! I always loved reading about Stephanie Meyer’s road to publication, how the story first came to her in a dream... the sparkling sunlight scene in Chapter 13. This series may not be new but it’s still one of my favorites. ❤️ Are you a Twilight fan? Which book is your favorite? • • • • • #Twilight #Bookseries #booklove #bookobsessed #bookish #booknerd #YAbooks #StuffofStorybooks #bookshelf #bookquotes #amreading #bookcommunity #booklines #booklife

Somewhere inside these castle walls today, Danielle is doing her thing, making a bit of magic. I can’t imagine a more stunning place to work! Last month I had a few hours to stroll around Magic Kingdom alone. It was honestly one of the best mornings I’ve ever had! It was relaxing but also motivating. It’s hard not to be inspired when you see evidence of so much imagination! Happy Sunday, everyone! 🌟 I hope yours includes a bit of relaxation and motivation too. * * * * * #Disneycommunity #DisneyMagic #BibbidiBobbidiBoutique #DisneyAP #DCPSpringadvantage2020 #Disneymom #Disneyinspiration #Disneyfam #Disneylife #Disneyvacation #Disneydreaming #Cinderellacastle #MagicKindom #MagicKingdomismyfavorite #Disnerd #Disneypic #Authorlife #writinginspiration #Disneyig #wdwbde #waltdisneyworldbde

Things you do not need to write a book: A beautiful office, a cute coffee shop, a fancy computer program... or permission from anyone else. I wrote my first two unpublished books with a pencil on notebooks like this, and then retyped the chapters onto a Word doc on my ancient desktop computer. I wrote all three of my published (or soon-to-be published) books in my living room (with my laptop propped on my lap) sitting in an old green recliner. I had no beautiful office or any office for that matter. But I still got my stories written. In the early years, no one knew what I was working on, except me. I liked it that way. I didn’t want anyone telling me that my dream was foolish or out of reach. If you have the notion to write a novel you don’t need much. Just an idea, a notebook & pencil or computer, and the obscene desire and determination to make your dream come true. If you have those things, the rest will follow. Just believe you can do it and you will! I elaborated on this topic today in a blog post for those of you interested. ☺️ To read the whole thing head over to www.swirlandspark.com. Happy Weekend Everyone! I hope it’s a great one! * * * * * #believeinyou #writerscommunity #thinkmoreworkharddreambig #believeyoucan #writeabooktoday #writeyourstory #writeanovel #amwriting #creativewriter #authorlife #storytelling #booklove #writerslife #bookcommunity #bookpeople #Writersupportwriters #bookish #write #justwrite #writingtips #swirlandspark #writinganovel #writinglove

Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ I’m sharing pics of my favorites because my heart is full when I think of all of them! My kids are living their best lives (are we sick of that phrase yet!) at Disney. Adam’s working at Mission Space (Hello, Mission Control to Adam!) and Danielle’s turning cuties into Princesses at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. (How sweet is that?) Jim is traveling a bit today doing the golf sales thing and I’m just so grateful every day that he’s my Valentine. My parents, my first ever Valentines, are healthy and that’s enough to make me smile today! I’m spending the day doing what I love... writing a new story. Hopefully it’ll turn into a real life book some day! I love what I do and in a weird way, today is a perfect day to celebrate that too. I hope you all have a happy day as well... I love that I get to share this space with all of you too! ❤️ * * * * * #HappyValentinesDay #Bemyvalentine2020 #Gratefulheart #Loveiseveryplace #Lovemyloves #authorlove
