I first realized what today was about a week ago. I, an instructional assistant, walked into the copy room to pick up some papers my lead teacher printed. I scrounged around for said papers as a lot of people were printing things that day (today, for the record, hardly anyone printed anything). In the papers … Continue reading It’s TwosDay! (so let me shove book recs at you)

I’m (a ghost) Back (to haunt you)!
Luckily for us the scariest things about me are my fascination with angler fish and corvids, my oddball humor, and inability to sleep (thanks insomnia). But I do get some of my best writing done when I'm sleep deprived, so it's not a total loss. But you aren't here for my insomnia or bird or … Continue reading I’m (a ghost) Back (to haunt you)!
Books to Read: Stories by Black Authors
Within the past few days I've come to realize how much privilege I have as a white author. I've also realized that I need to do (a lot) more in supporting Black authors. Their stories are some of the most overlooked. Today I want to spotlight Black authors and the stories they tell. Buying their … Continue reading Books to Read: Stories by Black Authors
7 Books to Read (to help keep your spirits up)
Let me be clear, I'm a hardcore introvert. But these days I'm madly in love with people. I'm in awe at the good that so many are showing right now, in the big and small ways.

New Year, New Projects
I've never been a fan of the "new year, new start" mindset. It's a holdover from when I was a child. Back then I believed that if you wanted to change something you should just do it. I still feel that way, although I've become a fair bit more lenient in this mindset. Sometimes, you … Continue reading New Year, New Projects
A Letter to the Readers About NaNoWriMo and Works in Progress
The first time I won NaNoWriMo I learned that I could finish something. The second time I won, I learned that writing is not something one can do in isolation, not successfully at least. The third time, this time, I learned that I don't have to give up on myself. It used to be a … Continue reading A Letter to the Readers About NaNoWriMo and Works in Progress
Updates
Hello again dear reader, it's been quite a while and I owe you some updates. First things first, the absence: I have a wonderful job that inspires my writing. But due to the work load and yearly adjustment period, I had to drop most things to focus on work and readjusting to it. I also … Continue reading Updates
Short Hiatus
I know things get spooky when it gets quiet (you never know when the monsters are going to pounce), but I swear I'm quite alive and not a ghost or some sort of monstrous beast. I won't get terribly detailed, but in short transferring to my dream job (one that allows me plenty of time … Continue reading Short Hiatus
A Quiet Start
If Scrooge and the Grinch are icons of Christmas displeasure then I would be an icon of New Years Eve displeasure. Then again, this year, health issues might have something to do with that. Obviously, I have to do things a little differently. The upcoming year will be a quiet one for me. I swore … Continue reading A Quiet Start
