Hi friends! My short story “It’s Okay” is out and it would mean so much if you read it. It is all about the ambiguity of death and what that means to each of us.

I’ve been in such a writing funk with how busy I’ve been, but I’m pulling myself out of it
I decided that I will spend time searching for inspiring photos and movie scores each day, put them in a randomizer, and write 500 words for whatever I get! It’s been going so well, woohoo!

Hello lovely people! If you don’t read my story Two Sizes Too Small, you will make this orangutan (🦧) very sad
I woke up to see that my story “Two Sizes Too Small” is up on @gavagai.com !! I loved writing this one, as it’s inspired by my day to day experience with OCD. I really hope you’ll give it a read, and let me know what you think!

It amazes me that 15 year old me found one of those ear piecing guns and then thought it would be a great idea to give myself a cartilage piercing, simple because I felt like it. I’m so lucky it healed right 😭😭

Got the email today!!!! I need to receive a document to sign and have them process it before someone nabs the spot. My HEART
I’m running on 2 hours of sleep after traveling back home, but today I find out if I can officially attend a 20 week workshop I received a partial scholarship for, and I’m so tired but so eager for that email. Fingers crossed!!

My biggest dream before I die is to have one of my pieces adapted into a short film. I never really considered it a possibility until recently, and damnit I’m gonna make it happen

For the first time in YEARS my hometown is having a white Christmas! It was so nice to wake up and see snow instead of rain and mud 😅

Missing Coco very much today. I miss how she would meet me at the bus stop when I was little. I miss how she’d scratch her back on the rocks in the driveway. I miss how she would stick out her tongue if you gave her a good pet. I hope she can feel me sending her the biggest hug.
