I know my novel is strong. My writing is strong. My story is strong. The right agent will love her as much as I do.

A pivotal moment in my life. If you’ve experienced this, I’m sorry. I hope you know you deserve love. Love should never feel this way.

Just received my copy of “I’m still Healing” after winning a giveaway hosted by @ferniescoto.bsky.social over on Substack!

This book is absolutely amazing! Deeply moving poems and beautiful full color art.

If you love poetry, you need to get yourself a copy!

It just takes one YES in a pile of NO’s to make your dreams come true.

Keep going.

#wipsnips synonym: Replace
Nora walks into the bathroom and points at the full trash bin. "You forgot to take out the trash last night." "Yeah, sorry, I really did," I say, looking up at her. "I had so much on my mind, but I'll be sure to change it once I finish on the toilet." Nora crosses her arms and scoffs, "Why can't you just hold yourself accountable?" I tilt my head and squint my eyes. "I am." "If you were, you'd say sorry." "What? I did," I say. "Also, me admitting to fault is holding myself accountable." Nora's glares at me, she looks infuriated. "The problem has a solution Nora, there is no need to get upset. I'll replace it when I'm done." Nora's body stiffens and she slams her hand on the sink, causing me to flinch away from her. "'m sick and fucking tired of having to constantly remind you to do the simplest shit." "I forgot-" Nora screams not even two inches from my face, "You are such a piece of shit, always shitting on me!" I jerk away from her terrifying tone. "God, I want to slap the shit out of you."

#wipsnips “inside” as synonym. Enjoy!
Over the last few days, I have come to the realization that this house was never a home. With every turn I take, into every crevice of these four walls that hold us in, I am reminded that I am a ghost living inside of it. My body is hollow and I am not who I was before. Everything we have been through, all the hopes I had carried from Minnesota to Texas never came to life. There is nothing left for me to say to Nora. I feel her nose nuzzle up against my neck and I want to crawl out of my skin. I don't belong here anymore.

#wipsnips enjoy!
I take a break from studying and look for Nora. I go into the living room but the TV is off and she isn't there like she usually is. It's just Mateo and Pepito sleeping, snuggled up with each other. That's odd. The house is quieter than usual as I walk through it and head upstairs to the bedroom. Nora is on her phone, lying on the bed. "Hey.." I say quietly sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at her. "Is everything okay? you've been super distant lately." Nora places her phone on the nightstand and glances at me before she looks away. "It feels like we're not connecting," she mumbles. "We haven't had sex in two months." Oh...

Here is my #wipsnips for today 💓
Mami and Papá are talking about the chisme. Papá vents to Mami how he doesn't like Karla's boyfriend because he's lazy, but then is concerned because that same boyfriend hasn't proposed to Karla yet. Make it make sense. He goes on a rant about how his children, including me, need to start taking life seriously. Mami agrees with him, expressing her innate desire to be a grandmother. I personally think they just want to be grandparents because they wish they were more present in our childhood. Café Conchita really robbed us of that. I dissociate from the conversation to keep my sanity.
