Why Can’t This Be My Job?
When I was a little girl, I used to write stories. I’d staple pieces of notebook paper together and go to town. The first story I ever wrote that I can remember was about a lonely girl who made a friend and they walked to Wendy’s together. I guess even back then I wrote what I knew. I’ve spoken before of losing my writing. I’d tried in the past, but I hadn’t written a full story since high school. I remember the last short story I wrote during that time. It was for an lit assignment, and I had so many people’s hands in the editing that it completely changed…

Going Through It
I’ve come back from my first convention as a writer. I will write about it a little later, as I have to get my thoughts in order. Since I’ve been back, I’ve been working on the e-commerce side of my website. It has been an absolute PAIN! I haven’t even input all the products yet. I’ve just been working on the shipping aspect. It’s taken me roughly a week to adjust everything to the way I want it. Please keep in mind that this is after I’ve dropped cash to actually get the shipping set up. Part of it is my fault, as I didn’t have all the information I…

It feels as if it has been one hundred years
I haven’t been around on this platform, and I apolgize. Life gets in the way. I post a ton on other social media, while somehow neglecting this. However, I am here, let’s chat. July 7th is Femme Audio takeover. What is this? Well, my friend Ruthie is both an author and audiobook narrator. Last year she came together with a bunch of other femme audiobook narrators and Authors. Together, the narrators recorded pieces of author’s books. Not full audiobooks mind you, but just snippets of books. The voices they were reading were femme presenting characters who were standing in their own power. They are doing the same thing this year!…

There is a Whole Lot More to Being an Author
They didn’t tell you everything mamas. As I sit here on my blessed quiet Sunday, I am thinking of all the things that have past and that are coming. My first book was released one month an eleven days ago. There was no stopping from there, I have to keep going. You see, by the end of 2023, I will have a total of four books out. Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer. As of right now, I am speaking with my publisher on where we’re supposed to go from here. I have quite a few stories, both in this world and out of it written. It is just a matter…

My Lord, I’ve Hit a Wall
A Tale as Old as Time. I’ve been plugging along faithfully this whole time for the past two years. I’ve had no lack of ideas, or drive to write. It’s the only thing I’ve wanted to do most times. Even editing was coming along. The more I learned, the more I grew. I’ve gone back time and time again from beginning to end of the book, cleaning and tidying my words. Until yesterday. For those of you that don’t know (How you don’t know is beyond me), My debut novel, Fall: A Year of Change: A Silver Leaf novel, is slated for release February 1st. The story is written; it’s…

You Are Formally Invited to Shut Up and Write!
Each week in the Discord group, we try to run a writers sprint. A sprint is basically a timed writing exercise. You are brainstorming, writing what you can in a short amount of time. You can see how you stack up against other writers. We have a vocal chat open so you can laugh and giggle with everyone. So I would like to invite you to Shut Up and Write! Today’s Shut Up and Write included me and fellow writer Shai August. The next one I hope to drag fellow label mate Alexis Craig along. Also feel free to just pop in and look around the Discord. There is always…
