Finally getting the couch for our cozy, quiet space tomorrow. My bookshelves and I are so ready.

Plans for the rest of the week: say fuck my already violently sore body and clear out our staging area of a living room so we can get a new couch and I can spend two straight weeks cocooned in the corner doing nothing but reading and writing in the comfort of my wall of books.

So excited.

Something about a fresh mani that can completely change your outlook on the day.

Also made sure to make them extra sharp bc we’re open to choosing violence.

I think my second quarter resolution will be to focus on reading smaller indies. I’m here to help pay bills in this ugly world. I know an extra reader a month makes a huge difference for me, even if mostly emotionally and caffeine supporting.

Haven’t been reading. Haven’t been writing. Have been moving. Woke up with a story idea though so I guess we’re on the road to normal now.

What fresh hell is happening today?

Everytime I get online the last week-ish, I immediately log off. The shit show is just too much.

Be back after I’ve puffed enough of my own oxygen mask.

I’ve not also run off to TikTok. I’m just so exhausted. I went to bed at 1900 last night and didn’t even read first. Just crashed. 💤

House hunting is taking up all my writing brain space and I am severely annoyed.

Hello #booktok and bye #booktok in less than 24 hours. Don’t forget to read when real life is just too much.

That last bit - yeah, that’s the difference maker

Buying a house is so fucking stressful. I’m literally this close to selling feet pics. 🫠

Carrie, Snoop, and TikTok. I’m sorry, I don’t mean to yuck anyone’s yum, but I will not be reading that spicy novella. 🚫📚💙🌶️

I think people like to SAY they don’t enjoy this, but the success and mass market appeal of things like Hallmark movies, crime/mystery tv shows and books, horror tropes etc prove that isn’t true.

Personally, I find comfort in a little predictability in our insane world.
i've happily consumed the same idea executed by several different artists, authors, musicians, many times. if you think you have an idea, or there's a story you love and want to make you're own take on it-- do it! someone who also enojyed the same things will be glad you did

Enjoying the spicy novella nights very much but not getting as much sleep as nonfiction nights. 😭🤣

That’s a relief, as I’m someone who writes the same concept over and over just slightly differently executed…

I could not have foreseen that having an embarrassing single point of kink obsession would one day translate into a commercial / branding advantage 🤷🏻‍♀️

A quote from the first novel in my romantic suspense series:

“One night, and he’d already figured out exactly how to make me melt.”

Quite enjoyed this spicy little novella collection! Perfect if you’re looking for a mafia romance.

Looking at houses yesterday and my husband very happily pointed out several spaces he felt would make good libraries or offices for me. So pleased I married my book boyfriend. 🥹

Author friends:

What would you do if you woke up and found out your books had gone viral enough to equal one month’s pay at your day job?

Two more spicy novellas ✔️ off last night. I swear there’s nothing better to break a reading slump than a good novella.

This take makes me lol. It’s a great point. 😭
The same dudes who fetishize the supposed lost strength and competence of their forefathers want computers to write their emails for them.

My husband asked me yesterday what I would do if I had one (1) billion dollars. The answer was I could pay off/get/do all the things I wanted and still have plenty of cash to 1) set myself up for life, 2) write instead of needing a consistent job, 3) donate time and money to helping others.

Skipped nonfiction in favor of a spicy novella last night. Good news: finished the book. Bad news: finished the book instead of going to sleep.
