It’s Monday morning and somehow we kick things off with makeup, short sassy hair, and a Selena Gomez bag before we even mention writing. Miss Tia, Sienna's daughter, pops into the comments, Sienna shares how much she loved her surprise gift, and we spiral into a nostalgic beauty debate—Bobbi Brown, Mary Kay, Avon, and the eternal Sephora vs. Mecca brand wars.Eventually we get back to writing. Sienna is deep in Queen of Smoke, drafting extra chapters to stay ahead of editor notes, while GiGi is wrestling with the chaos that is Facebook Ads Manager and trying to figure out Meta ads through a maze of profiles, pages, and tutorials. Between two writing sprints we talk about forgetting our own characters, rebellious plotting habits, and the ongoing battle to keep a story straight while writing the next chapter.Timestamps for March 9:00:00 Intro00:26 Hair chat, makeup leftovers, and the short sassy cut update02:12 Miss Tia jumps in + thank-you chat about her gift08:34 Sienna’s working on Queen of Smoke + drafting ahead for Jess09:39 GiGi’s Meta ads spiral begins + Facebook profile/page/group confusion17:05 Writing Sprint #137:40 Trying to remember where we left off in our writing and spicy knife play41:46 Writing Sprint #21:05:23 Closing thoughtsCome join us and make your writing goals happen too:📅 Monday – Instagram📅 Wednesday – Substack📅 Friday – TikTok⏰ 7AM CST (USA) 🇺🇸 / 8PM AWST (Australia) 🇦🇺
