My WIP is up to 8.2K words. One super spicy chapter left!

Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable, but VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable.

My child called me to ask if they could spend their pocket money on a book 😍 Specifically a (YA) book about murder. Then they requested a book shelf. I felt my heart grow right outta my chest

A few of my favorite reads from last year:

Three comments on a story I wrote: Anonymous user: I am not okay. I may never be okay. what a story! Rather: Wicked Twist. Good character development. Nice flow. Sometimes when the events move quickly, it could be a bit more helpful to the reader, if that matters. Nicely written tale. HannahBaird: A Masterful Work of Duality, Desire, and Denial Tainted Love is elevated erotica. It's a character study as much as it is a dark romance. Kaylen, the protagonist has not only a storied past, but a tragic history that is developed organically, and has helped shape her worldview and form her life. Which is based around the duality of pain and pleasure, denial and acceptance. This work's themes are integrated effortlessly into the characters themselves and their trajectories. While not a long work, every arc is captivating, and Wes himself may be the most compelling character in the story. Wes himself, possess duality, opposing feelings for Kaylen that are dominant, yes, but runs so much deeper. As all relationships truly do, as well as the themes of this work. Gorgeous prose with tonally appropriate word choice, and a carefully considered aesthetic tone elevates this work even further. 5/5.

Holiday call with family across the world is basically passing the phone around in a loud room between relatives.

Cousin: have you met her? We just got engaged
Me: awesome! Congrats
Finance: you’re invited, of course. If you can’t make it, we’ll set up a zoom

😍 I love her already. Great vibe

You have a plot in mind.
You have characters.
But where exactly should you BEGIN your story?

I was not expecting so much attention from this post 😆 I have lots of books. I write books. I have hobbies. I do stuff. I’m not bored. I’m complaining that the book ended. On a cliffhanger. Books 2 has been ordered. Imma go eat some gingerbread until I feel better

My kid found my copy of Fourth Wing. They’ve heard of it. (What?!) Do they want to read it? Maybe. I said I had to read it first. Why? Because it’s not a picture book 😅
