The same actors in one show can give you completely different vibes in another. What makes them memorable is not only captivating performance, but also characterization. A great character can make a great story. So #writers, be bold and create those awesome characters! #writesky

#bookmark #booksky #reader #doodleart And here’s the final draft 😂 I hope I win, but if I don’t, I hope I at least brought someone a chuckle.

I did a quick doodle for my local library’s bookmark contest. Think I can win this one? #bookmark #booksky #reading #doodles #librariesarethebest

Holy smokes what a roller coaster ride of a book! That’s Not My Name by Megan Lally is soooooo good! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I listened to it. A YA thriller to impress, and with likable characters too! I hope they make it into a movie. #booksky #bookrec #reader #yathriller

#characterdoodle #writesky #doodle #yaromcom #writingcommunity When you’re bored with your Kindle Scribe and your character pops up in your head to say hi! 👋 It’s quite liberating knowing progress is more important than a perfect end product. Love my character, love my story!

There’s something pixie-dust like about crack open a brand new planner. Happy New Year, everyone! Here’s to another great one in happiness, health, and writing! 🥂 #writesky #writingcommunity #amdrafting

Is this the cutest thing or what? Eep! #holidaysipper #aldi #glasssipper #holidayseason #winterwonderland

You never know when you’d be inspired for a new idea, or a new character. Like today I ran across this photo, and I’d love to write a character one day with this vibe. If you know books with this kind of characters, hit me up too. I’d love to read it 😂 #writingcommunity #booksky

OMG OMG! A little fan girl moment? Ken Jaworowski liked my book review of his book! Baaaaahllistic! #books #booksky #bookreview #bookrecs #crimethriller #writingcommunity

Well, I guess there goes that dream 😂 #writingcommunity #writesky

Is this the one?

For my birthday, my daughter surprised me with her very own crocheted F bomb. It is perfect!🤩 #corchetedFbomb #crochet #birthday #momlife #family

This is my emotional support poop, 💩 and my writing partner this morning. Because in chaos, we can all use some warm and stinkin’ love. Yes, it’s made out of my kids’ air-dry clay. No, I made it myself. And no, I will not apologize for my humor. #writingcommunity #momwriter #writesky #momjokes

Never thought of myself as a coffee drinker until my Trader Joe’s finally had their cold brew concentrate back in stock again! How do you like your coffee? #coffee #writerlife #momlife

Look what I have! @katemckean.bsky.social can’t wait to dive in! #writethroughit #writingbook #writingcommunity #writesky

Four hours later, I wish I didn’t add the table and chairs…sigh…at least self care is a ✅ today… #acrylicpainting #keepitcolorful #amateurartist

Anyone else feel the same? Or is it just me? #psychologicalthriller vs. #Romcom If both genres fell into the water, I wouldn’t know which one to save…I’d just drown in the ocean of words with both. What two genres do you love that give the same vibe? #booksky #reader #books #writingcommunity

Getting inspiration for writing while on family vacation is like having the best kind of sprinkles on a delicious cake. Can’t wait to binge write when I get back. #writesky #writingcommunity #food #travel #writeronvacation

What a great time to be alive! From my garden—aka hubby’s gardens His hard work definitely paid off! #momlife #gardening #peonies #family #flowers

My ten-year-old recently picked up a new hobby. Me to her brother: your sister looks like an old granny on the couch with her crochet stuff. My daughter: (looked up from her crochet hook with an eyebrow raise) You’re the one to talk. You’re like five-thousand years old. Touché. #momlife #crochet

Cannot believe I made 10th place and got to move on to the next round by writing in one of my weakest genres! 🎉🎉🎉 cheers to the next NYC Midnight challenge! 🍾 #writingcommunity #writingchallenge #writesky

Happy Mother’s Day! My little boy sure knows his way to his mommy’s heart! (Full disclosure, I do not know how to play piano anymore. I just act like I do so when he’s practicing, I can tell him how hard I used to work on it.) #momwriter #writingcommunity #writesky

Made a moodboard for my new wip to spark some creativity as I start outlining and drafting. This was so fun. So excited to get this one started. Here we go again! #writingcommunity #writesky #YARomcom #drafting

Anyone else with me? 😂

This was an email response I got from my son’s teacher after my husband sent her a thank you email for her wonderful work. I’m not publishing anytime soon, but this little boy…I tell ya, he melts my heart. #writingcommunity #momwriter #writesky #amagented

I’d like to share a comic I found from the magazine Pittsburgh Quarterly, spring 2025 issue, fresh off the mailbox. See, Dad? I get to call myself an engineer too. 🤪 Now you can be proud of me. (JK, I love my dad) #writingcommunity #writesky

I love moodboard 😆 went crazy with mine.

#booksky What are you reading? Just got done with a series of dark romance, now diving into some serious stuff—memoir for my character research. Life On Delay by John Hendrickson. This book really opens my eyes on the introspection of someone with a speech impediment. #writingcommunity #writesky
