Sometimes I just don’t feel like typing my messages. Thanks to those of you for asking when LITTLE MILESTONES will be available. Here’s the update. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! . . . #writer #writing #authors #authorsofinstagram #writinglife #writingcommunity #updates #novels #books #bookstagram #publishing #stephsscribe #writerssupportingwriters #stories #storytelling

Ok...so here’s where I come clean, you guys. It hasn’t been a good year for me so far. A nagging back issue and a herniated disc have forced me to re-evaluate what’s important, along with “a really bad mole” that was pre-cancer (on my stomach, which hasn’t seen the light of the sun in more than 10 years). Nevertheless, it darkened and needed to go. I’ll spare you the graphic details and just say I have a 5-inch scar on my tummy. All of this points to two things: 1-take good care of yourselves, and 2-take good care of yourselves. (AND WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN). I pledged to lose 30 pounds and so far 12 are gone. I have a way to go. I also realized I needed time for myself to be mindful to manage my stress & anxiety and exercise more. As for the back, we’re still trying to figure it out. The moral of the #Friday story is to make time for yourselves both mentally and physically. As more than five people have said to me, stress can cause back pain (and other types of issues). It’s important that we learn to manage it. Be good to yourselves, friends. . . . #fashion #style #personalstyle #ootdstyle #ootd #personalcare #professorstyle #professor #writing #writers #fictionandfashion #books #summerstyle #writingcommunity #mindfulness #exercise #authors #authorloop #writerloop #readers #booklover #followloop #amediting #blogging #blogger #weightloss #stephsscribe #whatiwore #weightwatchers

Hi Friends! I figured I haven't done a quick introduction for some new connections on here, so here it goes! Feel free to do the same so we can get to know one another better! 1—Why am I holding The Postcard in the first photo? This week marks the one-year anniversary of publishing my collection of short stories that has gotten some buzz lately: a 5-star review from Readers' Favorite and a finalist award in National Indie Excellence. So thrilled for both! 2—When did I start blogging? I began in 2011 with the support of some of my students, namely @billritson, who helped me name it Steph's Scribe and set it up on Wordpress. 3—Why do I post so many fashion photos? I don't know, you guys! I just love fashion, dresses, and am in the process of overhauling my wardrobe to be a little more sophisticated. Think Audrey Hepburn. 4—What's the method to my madness of publishing 4 books and a textbook in seven years? Time management and devotion. There really isn't much more to it than that, except for a belief in myself as a storyteller. 5—What's on my playlist? Honestly, you'll find me listening to a bunch of stuff, from Kanye to Michael Buble to the Rolling Stones to Eminem. Currently, I play the soundtrack to Game of Thrones while I write. 6—How long have I been a professor? I started teaching my first class—public speaking—in the early 90s. I was working for the Baltimore Orioles at the time and fell in love with teaching. By 2000, I was an adjunct raising kids, and by 2008 I was a full-time professor. 7—When did I get my MFA in creative writing? I earned my MFA in 2011. I don't regret a single second of it. It taught me to be a better writer, evaluate writing with more vigor, and be a better teacher. I don't think you NEED an MFA to be a writer, but for me, it pushed me and gave me more confidence. 8–What are the biggest lessons I've learned in life? Mind your own business. Be happy. Don't compare yourself to others. Be kind to yourselves, and I look forward to learning more about you!

Got to take this dress out for a spin tonight as I caught up with a dear friend for dinner in #Annapolis. There’s nothing better than sitting down for dinner and chatting as if not a day has gone by—that’s what good friends do when their lives are busy and nuts and crazy. Do you have a friend who you may not see for months but when you’re together, it’s as if you saw each other yesterday? . . . #fashion #style #personalstyle #ootdstyle #professorstyle #professor #writing #writers #ootd#fictionandfashion #books #summerstyle #writingcommunity #amwriting #amreading #authors #authorloop #writerloop #readers #booklover #amediting #creativity #innovation #blogging #blogger #2019booklovers #stephsscribe #whatiwore

A little fiction & fashion today: Lunch date #ootd — and I even curled my hair! I let it air dry last night, then took a curling iron to it this morning. Finished it off with a little anti-humidity spray! Heading to @aacpl to drop off books for upcoming book talks at the library, then meeting with one of my trusty pre-readers to go over Little Milestones to review edits of that book. Getting some stuff done this Tuesday! Hope you are productive today as well! . . . . #fashion #style #personalstyle #ootdstyle #fashionchallenge #professorstyle #professor #writing #writers #fictionandfashion #books #summerstyle #writingcommunity #amwriting #amreading #authors #authorloop #writerloop #readers #booklover #followloop #amediting #creativity #innovation #blogging #blogger #2019booklovers #stephsscribe #whatiwore
