Was sitting at my favorite coffee shop, working, chilling, having a grand old time when my head phones died.
I left them in but I was forced to listen to the same old white dude share the same story on how he watched CK’s event…. And much more…
Needless to say - I wrote a m*rder scene today.

I’m freaking dying with how Briar messes with Ollie VB. Andi Arndt and Christian Fox did a great job bringing them to life.

✨Today’s Goal✨ Write a new Substack + get a few chapters done in my manuscript + plan out the rest of the month. Also, remember to drink the water sitting next to me - it's not just a pretty container. 🤓

Honestly- surprised myself, I thought it was darker. Apparently, I’m really escaping reality.

In honor of the #superbowl, here is an unrevised #sneakpeek into the first chapter of 'Fair Catch' (coming - eventually). This is Sam's POV after his team won the Super Bowl & just before he is a free agent so the Chicago Nighthawks pick him up.

Things that I learned in a smut book this week:
During WWI, Black men fought & their paychecks let Black women care for their own kids. White families couldn't find domestic help & in Greenville, SC, furious locals pushed the city council to force all Black women into work—under penalty of jail.

posting because I #reread 'Make Me' by Summer O'Toole today. Though, this time I did the #audiobook. Definitely recommend it - Gregory Salinas & Addison Barnes are fabulous together.
