Hi, I’m Tiffany. 🫶🏽 I’m an indie author writing about motherhood, postpartum, becoming, and all the moments in between. My first book, Both Can Be True, offers a glimpse into my postpartum journey. If you’re new here, start with Both Can Be True. 🤍 Letters From Becoming is still in the works. ✍🏽

A question for the writers, readers, and everyone figuring life out alongside me. 🤍 What’s something that changed the way you see yourself? It doesn’t have to be a big moment. Sometimes the little things change us the most. 🫶🏽 #WritingCommunity #SelfDiscovery

Writing friends, any tips for formatting a poetry ebook? 📚 My paperback, Both Can Be True, is already published, but uploading the manuscript for Kindle keeps messing up my poetry’s line breaks and spacing. Preferably free tools, please! #WritingCommunity #WritingTips

My chunky archive girl is growing 🥹📚🧡 Letters From Becoming is still very much a work in progress, one page and one memory at a time. Hopefully, by the end of the year, this stack will be a book. #WritingCommunity

Always the protector, but never the protected. 🖤😭 Can we let him be vulnerable for once? He deserves to be held up, too.

Because emo music is simply amazing 👌🏽

The baby is THICK already. 😂📚❤️ My Letters From Becoming baby, that is. 😂 I’ve got a whole stack of writing to sort through, and somehow the more I organize, the more confusing the process gets. Send help. 😭😂✍🏽 #WritingCommunity

Took my girl to the ER tonight because she was limping and barely wanting to put weight on her right leg. Thankfully, everything checked out okay. 🥹❤️ Now I feel guilty for taking her, but I’d rather be safe than sorry. I’ll never feel bad about making sure my girl is okay. ❤️ #MomLife #Motherhood

She might not understand the words just yet, but she was SO excited to receive her very own copy. 🥹❤️ One day, she’ll understand the meaning behind the pages, and that makes this even more special. 📖🤍 #AuntieMoments

Classic toddler move: wait until the block tower is perfect, then knock it all down. 🤣😂 #MomMoments #ToddlerLife

Here I am making progress on my big book, and now I’m having fun writing fanfic. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Apparently, I’ve decided to rewrite what I wish the show’s writers had done differently for a certain character. Or, more accurately, what they shouldn’t have done to them. 😭✍🏽 #WritingCommunity #Fanfiction

LFB update: The manuscript keeps growing! 🥰 Now comes the hard part…figuring out the order of everything. 😂 Still very much a work in progress! 🤍 #WritingCommunity

A story. A book review. Pieces of my own life woven between the pages. LFB might begin with a fictional character, but the further you go, the more you’ll see how fiction, books, and real life have shaped the woman behind the words. #WritingCommunity

LFB current progress: Welp. The printer has officially entered the editing process and said, “That’s enough pages for today, Tiff.” 😂📚 What I do have printed out is a whole packet, though! 😂 #WritingCommunity

Extremely upset not having my daughter here tonight. 😭 While watching the Golden Girls is helping to take my mind off things, I still wish my baby girl was asleep right beside me while I watch GG. 🫶🏽 Missing her so much. #MomLife #CoParenting

Apparently I disappeared from Bookstagram a year and a half ago. 🤦🏽‍♀️😆 Making a comeback tomorrow!

Letters From Becoming is becoming an archive of my first year of motherhood. The grief. The joy. The heartbreak. The hawks. The hard days. The little moments. All of it became part of who I was becoming. 🤍 #WritingCommunity #Memoir

Today was handoff day, & it never gets easier. I won’t see her until 5:30 p.m. Sunday. 💔 She cried when I said goodbye & kissed her, and that broke my heart. Maybe I’ll work on my book or go for a walk. I don’t know what to do with myself. I just miss her. 🥺❤️ #CoParenting #IMissMyGirl #Motherhood

Writer problems: “I’m not working on anything right now.” Immediately gets an idea. “Okay, but I’m just going to jot it down.” Three hours later… “Oh, look, here’s another piece.” 😂✍🏽 #WritingCommunity

It’s coming. I just have to let myself take the time to tell it. ❤️ But if you want a little glimpse into my postpartum journey while you wait, read Both Can Be True first. 🤍 #WritingCommunity

I was supposed to have my bigger book out already 😂 but honestly, I’ve been going through a lot & haven’t worked on it much. Letters From Becoming is still very much in the works. There’s so much content for this book—writing, pics, the good, the bad, the ugly, & all the little moments in between.

A little glimpse into Both Can Be True: A Literary Memoir. 🥹❤️ I wrote this book about motherhood, but also about finding my way back to myself in all the tiny moments in between. The messy moments. The beautiful ones. The exhaustion. The tiny hands reaching for my straw. 😂🥹

20 days ago my baby turned one, and I’m still over here trying to wrap my head around the fact that I’m somebody’s mama. 😂🥹❤️ Like… how have I been doing this for a whole YEAR?!

And still, you chose a version of me I didn’t recognize. — Letters From Becoming #WritingCommunity

I didn’t know I’d need a healing journey. Maybe letting go isn’t forgetting or forgiving. Maybe it’s simply refusing to carry what hurt me into who I’m becoming. — Letters From Becoming #WritingCommunity

I am not lost. Only in motion. — The Watcher Above the Noise Both Can Be True #WritingCommunity

My niece has also been going around telling everyone that her aunt is an author, which makes me so happy and proud. 🥹 She wants a copy too, so I’ll be sending her one with a little note inside. ❤️ It should arrive just in time for her birthday next month, which makes it even more special.

My mother read Both Can Be True and said she loved it! 🥰 She said it’s my story and my journey, but it’s also a journey that a lot of new moms and moms in general can relate to.

Was supposed to have my second book out by now, but I haven’t really worked on it much. 😂 I guess I’m still taking in the fact that Both Can Be True is actually published. 🥰

My author copy of my book arrived today, and I’m going to try to read it as a reader. 🥰

It’s finally out in the world. That’s all I’ll say for now. 🤍

4 minutes 😁

Book launches at midnight! 🤗

✨ 2 days, 2 hours, and 16 minutes!

4 days and 12 hours away! #booklaunch

Rebranding myself feels so good. 🥰

7 days, 2 hours, and 27 minutes until my first postpartum book launches! #writingcommunity

Just a small glimpse of the journey. A proof copy. A printed manuscript. A few pens. And a dream that’s becoming a real book. Every page has brought me closer to sharing BCBT with you. 🤍

I hit publish. 😬

Well done. Have you sent your manuscript to beta readers?

The final touches are happening! 🥹 Tonight: last-minute manuscript edits. ✍🏽 Tomorrow: refining the cover image. 🦒 #writingcommunity
