I had the pleasure to hear Sandra Cisneros speak at Desert Nights, Rising Star conference for #writers at ASU
Heard this gem:
“Dreams are poems that our bodies write”
“ A story is a little grain of sand that enters your ❤️ & if you don’t tell that story it’ll irritate your heart.”

“A raven flies past Emilio’s windshield, its black wings slicing the night. In the backseat, a girl with purple hair sits, her face hidden.”
“I blink and I’m back under the bright glow of the Hyatts ballroom lights, my body wrapped in satin and nerves.”

💔🌙 A broken heart chasing magic.
✨🔮 A love spell gone wrong.
🌿🕯 Curanderas for antidote
🔥✨ Power she never knew she had.

For #HispanicHeritageMonth, I’m honoring culture, history, and tradition through #books that keep our roots vibrant.
📚 Veneration Rites of Curanderismo by Erika Buenaflor, M.A., J.D. is a powerful guide to ancestral healing & the sacred practices of curanderismo, which I find fascinating.

I’m trying my hardest to increase the word count of a new ya novel. I think I need a B subplot. Or banish my cat until I’m done for the day.
