I’m so excited for the #scbwiNY25 winter conference! This is my first time attending an in-person conference, and I’m looking forward to connecting with everyone.

Who else will be there?

I’m thrilled to participate in the #12x12PB challenge for the second time! Last year, I made some really supportive writing friends, formed an amazing critique group, learned so much about writing craft, and wrote 15 new PB drafts!

I can’t wait to keep growing with such an awesome community! 🙌

This year is all about GROWTH for me, so it seems fitting that I participate in the #GrowYourWriting Challenge! I’m excited to learn and grow with you all! ✨🌱

Thank you @christinealemshah.bsky.social for hosting such an awesome challenge! 🙌

Happy New Year! 🎊

One of my intentions for 2025 is to move forward with self-compassion, knowing that if I continually show up to learn and grow, I will get to where I’m going. Timelines are irrelevant because things will work out when they are meant to. 🫶
