A human being. A writer type person.
City dweller with a hiker’s heart. Makes the absolute best eggplant lasagna. Tired but attentive. Forgetful, but will never forget you.

Will you believe I forced myself to actually write a sort of outline? Your encouragements must be working! ✨

Living in Texas has completely ruined me: by cold I mean a friendly 48 degrees. 🫠

It is my solemn duty as someone who also used to butcher that town’s name to mention that—and this makes your story even better—the place is actually called Pataskala. 🫠

I appreciate the novel support! 💕

That’s the conundrum: grad school is often making it hard to work on the novel, but without grad school I would literally not be writing this novel. 🤹🏻

Friday is for novel, and also sometimes grad school is for novel. 😄

On my way to a coffee shop to do novelly things! 🏃🏻‍♀️

All over my home, my phone, my notebooks, my brain, there’s a vast network of fragments, scenes, ideas, snippets of dialogue, character sketches, turns of phrase, obsessions.

I’m writing with full awareness that at the core, every novel I’ve tried to write this past decade has been the same novel.
