first look
I want to say that I’ve been kicking off 2023 with a brand-new writing project, but truth is that the past few weeks have been mostly catch-up and adjusting to the new year’s routines. Not to say these first days of the year have been without any creative joy! I did a beta read for…

eventful day
This past Saturday was an eventful day, and not in the ways I was expecting! I woke up to the first major snowfall of the year, curtains of snow that fell and fell and fell. I’m one of those people who absolutely love snow. But the weather did change my plans for the day. The…

2019 is happening!
It’s a new year! I mean, 2018 was pretty great. The Patch Project came out, I met a ton of cool people, and learned a whole other level of what it means to be a writer. But 2019 is happening, and I’m excited for what this year is going to bring. It’s also the first…
