Hello! I’m Jamie. I live in Florida & wish I didn’t. I hate hot weather & LOOOVE cold weather. (You see my dilemma.)
I work as an admin assistant & in the margins of life I write. Hoping to self publish my 1st novel this year.
I also sing & dabble in songwriting.
Looking forward to connecting!

I refuse to believe
That my soft heart is a liability
That tenderness
Is naïveté
As if brusqueness
Is a solid armor
To protect one’s self
From the horrors of this world
I will clothe myself in empathy
To face this world
Because my humanity
And your humanity
Are worth too much
That my soft heart is a liability
That tenderness
Is naïveté
As if brusqueness
Is a solid armor
To protect one’s self
From the horrors of this world
I will clothe myself in empathy
To face this world
Because my humanity
And your humanity
Are worth too much

Heading home from a writers retreat, & if you have the chance to hang out with a bunch of other writers that believe in you more than you believe in yourself, DO IT. The way these ladies cheer me on & lift me up is amazing.
Pictured was their way of showing off my current book. 😂

I almost don’t even know what to call my reps about anymore.
“Hi, I’m calling to express my concern over… all of it. Literally everything. Like, what the actual F. Thank you for your time.”

It’s so weird making professional phone calls & doing the obligatory “how are you” niceties & both responding with the obligatory “fine” & wondering if they too are spiraling over the fall of democracy

I discovered today that my dog greatly enjoys destroying the tiny snowmen I built. 😂

Not quite snowman making material but we’re getting there. I’m gonna be the weirdo outside at midnight making snow angels in the sleet and ice in my yard

I am about two hours away from actual snowfall & when I tell you this Floridian is absolutely giddy about it…
I keep checking the radar as if that’s going to make it come faster. 😂

Just a reminder that when many post an MLK quote on SM, it’s often a feel-good quote taken out of context that ignores all of the surrounding text that would leave the quoter feeling uncomfortable if they took the time to read it in full.

If you’re looking for an exceptionally good movie to escape into this weekend, let me recommend Thelma. A 93 year old grandma gets scammed & takes matters into her own hands to get the money back. It is equal amounts hilarious & heartwarming.

To the one feeling
Overwhelmed
Helpless
Hopeless
To those experiencing
Exhaustion
That sinks down
To your bones
Take one deep breath
Then another
It doesn’t fix the problem
But breath by breath
You will get through
And remember
That I
Am breathing
With you
Overwhelmed
Helpless
Hopeless
To those experiencing
Exhaustion
That sinks down
To your bones
Take one deep breath
Then another
It doesn’t fix the problem
But breath by breath
You will get through
And remember
That I
Am breathing
With you

I have an idea for a haunted house story where the house is so huge that the ghost & human inhabitant never actually encounter each other. They roam from room to room but are never in the same room at the same time.
Wouldn’t be very suspenseful but might be kinda funny.

My husband & I were talking about how we need to do laundry. I mentioned I was running out of clothes & underwear & he got excited cause that often means I pull out the sexy underwear. Instead I put on my footed PJs. I told him, “sorry that instead of sexy wife you got 5 foot toddler.”

Eating some olives & the line “I took her to the garden where I guess they grow the olives” popped in my head & now I have She’s That Kind of Girl by dcTalk in my head 😑
