Hi! I'm a nostalgia enthusiast, librarian, dog lover, and writer living vicariously through fictional characters. I’ve been engaging with books professionally for over a decade and now i'm writing my own. Follow along on this wild publishing ride!
Spent yesterday rereading book one in order to start book two for national novel writing month! It’s day two and I’m already behind 🙃.

Someone’s squeaky octopus symphony during my writing session was very distracting. Good thing she’s adorable.

Ah yes the stage of the writing process where after three years of drafting, I’m wondering if this book is terrible. 👍🏽

It took me ✨8✨months over what I expected to be query ready but I’m finally in the trenches after a massive rewrite and wow does it feel good to be taking the next step!

Ever just sit in a patch of sun and suddenly remember life is worth living? Like yeah, I get it now.

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that having fun isn't hard when you've got a library card".

As a librarian I can attest to this fact.

That dopamine hit when plans get cancelled and I can stay cozy at home 👌.

She’s just a girl, with crippling self doubt, trying to write her second novel.

It’s me, I’m the girl. You’ll have to excuse me, I’m mentally disintegrating over here🫠.

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

I’m jussayin: tonight is perfect for eating junk food and watching “Pride and Prejudice” (2005).

The Sunday Scaries: Writer Edition.
Tomorrow I start working toward a new writing goal. To get a first draft done for the 2nd book in my Shakespearean Sports Romance series ✨. Not daunting at all.

Audiobooks 🤝 lunch breaks in my car.

A tradition to keep going into 2025.

Got my 2025 planner all ready! Not that I ever end up using a planner, it’s just nice to have in case I ever transition to a “type A”personality 😂.

Accidentally outlined a whole new book while trying to distract myself from online boxing day shopping 🙃.

I’m supposed to be revising. Whoops.

Gave myself permission to take a break from revising my book this week. Now all I want to do is revise my book 🙃.

Any #MTG players out there?

I made this for my husband this year as a joke gift and he actually loved it (I couldn’t wait for Christmas Day to give it to him 🙃.)

Current argument with the husband: Is the movie 10 Things I Hate About You on a late 90s/early 2000s must watch list?

Me: YES.
Husband: probably not.

He’s wrong.

What’s your holiday comfort read?

I love a cozy reread, welcoming me home over and over again.

I don’t have a specific one for this holiday season. So this year I’ve decided on The Invisible Life Addie LaRue.
