Teacher by day, writer of romance by night. My kink is karma. Someone once told me I was acting like James Spader and that was the highest compliment I’ve ever gotten.

Does anyone else remember the show What Not To Wear? I distinctly remember how the worst thing you could possibly do is dress younger than your age and for some reason that stupid advice turned into an anxiety rule that got reinforced by toxic relationships.

Blue wants everyone to know that she is the saddest dog who has ever lived because she has an ear infection and has to have ear drops. Never mind the fact that yesterday she got puppy ice cream and today she got cheese and peanuts.

Also man am I disappointed about Neil Gaiman. I’m not surprised but I am disappointed. Things would be so much better if the people who needed intensive therapy actually got it.

I saw this thing where you post your first profile picture and your latest and honestly this is hilarious. 2007 Kristin, you were such a vibe. I would say I miss the teenage audacity but it’s not fun when you’re on the receiving end of that audacity and it’s 9:30 in the morning.

Starting to think that people who feel the need to announce themselves as champions of representation are, in fact, a walking red flag.

One is straight up fanfic but what inspired me to write it was exploring the dynamics between someone who refuses to be saved and someone whose identity is very much tied to their savior complex. For Beautiful Chaos, I was really interested in power and its manifestations.
LOVE the nuance in yesterday's discussion about writer's block. Worth reading, if that's a pet bugbear of yours.

The best way I can describe the main character dynamic in Beautiful Chaos is “فا أنت ركزي على حالك و أنا بركز عحالي بس لما بنشوف بعض بتصير مشكلة”

Oof, right in the mental health with this one #pretendpanel! Here we go, time for a story: writing was an escape for me, a way to block out the chaos of my life and find a sense of comfort and control in some world. I would have these moments where I would suddenly have an entire story in my head…
Fascinating to hear about your favourite authors and what advice you would give to new writers! I'm super grateful to all of you for taking the time to participate.

This past week has taught me how lucky I am to have community and family. It’s been hard to hear that people love me (ya girl’s got trauma) but so needed. I’m so grateful 🥰

I get this question a lot in my day job and my advice remains the same. Write. Just write. Write cringey fanfic. Write fic about your OC. Write poetry, write journal entries. Write essays about why you think Ms. Hillers is the worst, I don’t care. It’s like any art—practice is key.

As the small children say, I’m speed running another knitting project—this one is a blanket hoodie and 🤞🏻 I’ll have completed in a week. Also, Ares pleads with FCPS to issue another snow day 😂

I wish I could say that I’m a functioning adult with a routine but I would be lying. I’m an opportunistic writer—I write when I’m not teaching, when I’m waiting for laundry to finish, when I probably should be sleeping but my brain won’t shut up.
