Just turned in my new book, y'all! 🧡 It's set on a Texas cattle ranch. And to celebrate: Here's a pic of me as a kid . . . on our Texas cattle ranch! 🧡 It was such a delight to set a book out there. Why didn't it ever occur to me to do that before? 🧡 More details to come—but I just want to celebrate and say: IT'S IN! And it's a barn-burner of a read! 🧡 #katherinecenter #katherinecenterbooks #newnovel #gotitdone #finished #hooray 
You don't *have to* scratch off your to-do lists with colorful markers when finishing up your novel. But why the heck not? 🧡 This is my new 2021 thing. 🧡 Part of my whole theory of writing for joy. 🧡 PS! Turning my new book in TOMORROW! 🧡 #amwriting #almostdone #newnovel #katherinecenterbooks #katherinecenter #writersofinstagram #todolists #markers #colorful 
Breaking! My mom just read my almost-done book—and she gives it ALL THE STARS!! ⭐️ I know, I know—she's my *mom*! But this lady doesn't give out stars for free, yall! I mean, she loves me a lot. But not enough to fake it. ⭐️ She once worked as a copy editor, and so she always very kindly checks my books over for me before I turn them in. ⭐️ Dropped this beauty off with her yesterday and have been resisting the urge to pester her like WHADDYA THINK???? ever since. ⭐️ Just got the report: She stayed up 'til 1:30 a.m. reading because she "absolutely could not stop"! ⭐️ I'll take it. ⭐️ Finishing up the epilogue to bring her today. Then one last polish over the weekend. Then sending to my editor on Monday! ⭐️ #almostdone #amwriting #newnovel #thanksmom #katherinecenter 
I just got myself some retro sneakers and suddenly it's 1985 and my mom just made me a PB&J. ❤️ #saucony #sauconyoriginals #sneakerlove
