That one time by best friend got married . . .

 

 

 

Last weekend, my best friend got married (to Andy’s best friend—great how that works out). It was a crazy, whirlwind weekend (Andy, Me, and both E and D were attendants) but lots of fun. Seriously one of the top gorgeous weddings I’ve seen (funnily enough the other top goes to Andy’s other best friend). Highlights of the weekend:

(1) Hanging with Anna all day on Saturday while everyone got ready
(2) Knowing that after 4 years, I can still wear ridiculously high heels and come away with just two massive blisters (aka I didn’t fall and break an ankle)
(3) After finding out Saturday morning that Drew’s tux was to short, Andy being the awesome guy he is, shopping all over Tulsa for something for the kid to wear in the wedding and finding it 1 hour before the wedding (we cut it close)
(4) The tossing of “gold coins” Sense and Sensibility style
(5) Tossing paper hearts cut from Anna’s favorite books as the couple left — awesome awesome idea . . . so wish I would have thought of it
(6) The discovery of the Southwest Ranch salad kit
(7) Anna’s dress, her shoes, her necklace — she was radiant

In our latest episode, we dive into the real struggles of transitioning from part-time to full-time writing. It’s not just about the words on the page; it’s about the daily habits and mindset shifts that lead to success.

We discuss the importance of keeping a writer’s log to track progress and hold ourselves accountable. It’s a game-changer! 

Writing is more than just a passion; it’s a commitment to our goals. And sometimes, that means adjusting expectations and embracing the unique path we’re on.

Do you really want to know which genre I write (the answer is, yes…) or what the book is about (it’s about people doing things and there’s probably kissing at some point) Also, it should be a crime to run out of coffee, and remind me again why we have to be on social media?

Is it just about getting published or making money? Or is there a deeper reason fueling your fire?

Drop a 🔥 if you’re still working on clarifying your why—trust us, it makes all the difference in staying motivated.

We’ve spent years chasing publication, but it wasn’t until we remembered our true purpose—creating stories that inspire and uplift—that our passions reignited. Knowing why we write helps us push through the frustrations and keep going, even when it’s hard (because, y’all—writing is hard).

Your why isn’t just a line in your bio; it’s the fire that keeps you writing through the setbacks and self-doubt. So, what’s yours? Share below, we want to hear it!
