It's interesting how common it is here to simply not own a dryer at all, but when you have one and it lights on fire, you're not using that to dry your clothes anymore!

It’s funny whenever I tell people I love to write, that it’s my passion and my dream, I’m met with resistance.
“There’s no money in that.”
“Not sure that genre is for you.”
And you know what?
I have faith first and always. Watch and see!!

One page is a promise. One more is a prayer.
And somewhere between the two, my coffee goes cold and my cat sits on the notebook. ☕🐈⬛
Writing isn’t about waiting for miracles — it’s about typing until one happens.

On August 5, I read the first chapter of The Forgotten Bruja aloud for the first time. Four days later, I was waiting for line edits on The Ordinary Bruja. Both moments had me holding my breath. One gave instant feedback, the other is a slow, nerve-wracking wait.

From the First Read-Aloud to the Waiting Game
On August 5, I did something that made my heart race: I read the first chapter of The Forgotten Bruja aloud in my writing group for the very first time. I’ve read my own work before, silently, to myself. But reading to a group—hearing my words fill the air, watching other people react in real time—is a completely different experience. It’s like standing on stage with no costume, no props, no music—just you and your words.

I've been taking the month of November to work on plotting out my YA/NA novel series that I want to focus on.
Calling it Plotvember and will hopefully be able to follow it up with Writecember.
I'm down to only my five online classes, my single in person class was a short one, and has ended.
