Day 11 of the #augustwriterswipchallenge with @authortemperancedawn and @reina.nyx •Where/Who do you turn to when you need ideas? For my current WIP #SavingGrace (working title) I usually turn to some good old country music and binge read/listen romantic suspense novels if I'm really stuck or blocked. • #SavingGrace is set in the country on a sprawling ranxh and there is just something about the storytelling of country music that just makes me feel like I'm right out there on the ranch, swinging om the porch step and watching the sunset. Its sets the mood lol. . . . . . . . . #wip #authorschallenge #authorsofig #writingcommunity #augustauthorwipchallenge #wipchallenge #bookinspiration #countrymusic #ranchlife #writethatbook #writingabook #authorhabits #bingereading #writersofinstagram #writingprompt #writersblock #shareyourcraft #writersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CDxK8DSghW9/?igshid=144lgujb8c853

Kim Smith is the author of short romances, YA fantasy, and caper mysteries. She is a devout coffee addict and a recent, sick fan of Dr. Who, especially the Tenth incarnation, David Tennant. At the age of ten, she released her first book. A retelling of the pilgrim's plight in America on a half dozen pages, self-illustrated, on stiff first grader type paper. ​Decades later, she still writes. Her artistic endeavors have improved (somewhat), and her books have made Amazon Top 100 lists, climbing as high as #1. She lives in the Mid South region of the US with her husband, and their charming Chihuahua dog, Lady Darby. #authorschallenge2020 #authorschallenge #authors #writer #writersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #myauthorbio https://www.instagram.com/p/B8BkwCUgxbw/?igshid=1brhtmefj3xbn

Today’s author challenge is “my book buddy” and in all things my dog is that. She snuggles up with me to read and write. #authorschallenge2019plus #authorschallenge2019 #authorschallenge #authors https://www.instagram.com/p/B6JJXk5APtu/?igshid=tyzslk0cnrz8

Today’s challenge is all about writing book must reads. Well. I think I have everyone ever written. The thing about learning craft is this: you can’t really learn it in a book. Oh, you can take direction for sure- but you have to get into the trenches to learn what works and what doesn’t. IMHO it isn’t always knowing the rules. It’s knowing them and how and when to break them for your story. #authorschallenge2019plus #authorschallenge2019 #authorschallenge #authors https://www.instagram.com/p/B5-j2REgu2m/?igshid=8kctskpoxp4t

Today’s #authorschallenge2019plus entry is all about my favorite mug. As you can see, this one sort of says it all and well, is a part of the season as well. I have been very bad with decorating this year. I hope Santa understands. It’s a new place. A new state. A new “where am I going to put this” situation. #authors #authorschallenge #authorschallenge2019 #authorsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B55AHCegGPV/?igshid=c0nfgwdzqa8n

My writing routine the last week or so has been non-existent. I used up all my writing chops for Nano. But I will come back soon with the dreaded revisions and edits. #authorschallenge2019plus #authorschallenge2019 #authorschallenge https://www.instagram.com/p/B5xkutZAtbn/?igshid=1kie4rdrdd1wa
