For anyone feeling uncertain where to donate because of decision paralysis, you can easily Venmo @CANMN any amount to support mutual aid in Minneapolis -getting essentials like food and diapers to people who feel afraid to leave their homes right now.

Call your reps.
Be a good neighbor.

Spotted a charming mural earlier today. So cute it might just inspire a scene in my current WIP ✍️🐉🦋
A dragon mural with a whimsical vibe featuring a red and gray dragon hanging out on a rock while staying very still to watch a little yellow butterfly. The artist signed their name in the bottom left corner: San Miguel

Forgot to share this lovely coffee shop shot on BSKY from earlier this week ☕

I usually try to hit up coffee shops on Saturday mornings for focused writing/editing time, but I'm avoiding public spaces in case of post-Christmas virus surges. I hope everyone stays healthy and safe this December 💙
A coffee cup with heart-shaped latte art sits on a square table. In the background, a stained glass window has leaf-shaped artwork/vines. There is also a simple lamp sitting on the table with the coffee cup.

I just had the most fun at a creative author photo shoot this morning! The goal was to keep my identity lightly obscured, and the photographer totally nailed my vision!

I can’t wait to share photos. . . along with some exciting news 👀

I debated wether to post this one or not but, I thought it would bring someone fighting imposter syndrome a bit of comfort to know they aren't alone. We're not going to let it win people, I REFUSE ✨💕

New candle to help manifest my author dreams 🕯️🍄‍🟫🌲⛰️🕯️
A freshly lit candle with a dark green label and cream-colored text says “Wicked Woods, soy wax candle.” The back label of a candle describes the scent as mushroom, earth, moss, and cedar wood.

I’m very lucky to live in a place with so much writing inspiration!

For example, watching salmon spawn is perfect for every genre:

🐟Romance: salmon literally die for love (shortly after spawning)
🐟Horror: salmon go through a zombification phase
🐟Thriller: fish vs fisherman
