Every Author Event is a Lesson Learned
This past weekend I was super excited to be part of the Monroe County Public Library Author Event! I got to meet different people, as well as talk about my book. I also met someone as much into K-dramas and K-pop as I am (hi Joanna!). I’ve only been to two events thus far, but I’ve learned something from both of them. At my first one, I learned that while it is nice for my husband to attend to be my helper, it’s also difficult because he doesn’t really talk to people. He’s just there to to keep an eye on stuff.

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…
