Love that! 🍷

That hollow, pathetic feeling when someone achieves what you couldn’t, like writing a book, showcasing their art, starting a business, and all you can do is mock it. The insult is a cheap balm to soothe the sting of your own inadequacy. A fleeting comfort for the ache of feeling like a failure.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s Nobody’s Girl is a hauntingly powerful memoir that reads like a gripping novel. Co-written with journalist Amy Wallace, it delves into her harrowing journey as a survivor of abuse and her relentless fight for justice.

Body, forgive me—the temptation was just too great. 😭

Oh, Series 1 is better. I like the dialogue, though I'm not sure Brody fan

I’m on Chapter 5 of Virginia Giuffre #NobodysGirl, her story completely grips me. It’s meant to be a memoir, but it reads like a novel, or an entire season of Law & Order.

I can’t imagine how she survived it all and still built a family so different from her childhood.

The grocery store is basically Halloween HQ right now—pumpkins staring at me, candy whispering, “Take me home.” 🎃🍬

Didn’t get much work done today. Spent my day watching #nobodywantsthis S2 on my iPad while sending query emails to agents for my new novel. That’s the Friday vibe. ☕✍️

My OOTD perfectly matches the color palette of the branding system I’m working on. 🎨🖤🤎🤍

A client asked me why I still make time to write novels despite my demanding job (branding | advertising)

My answer? I need to feed my dog and cat.

So, please buy my books and help me keep these two gorgeous freeloaders happy! 🐾📚

It’s been a while since I worked on a #branding system and guidelines. It’s like crafting a technical book—documenting the birth of a brand and how to breathe life into it.

Some call it the brand bible; others, the brand police guidebook. Whatever the name, this is the essence of a brand’s life.

#WritingTips

Bring your main characters to life. Create their pegs, study their mannerisms, the way they speak, their appearance. Talk to them, pick their anecdotes, and let them help you guide the story.

Make them real.

#BrandingTips

1. Be consistent: logos, colors, tone, everything.

2. Simplicity wins: don’t overcomplicate your message.

3. Know your audience: speak their language, not yours.

A great brand isn’t what you say, it’s what they feel. 💡

The world has lost 3 extraordinary icons: Robert Redford, Jane Goodall, and Diane Keaton, all in just one month. 💔😭

#VirginiaWoolf’ s story inspired self-publishing authors. Her journey reminds us that creativity knows no bounds.

What’s stopping you from sharing your story?

The writer in me is screaming—why didn’t I think of that and write it first?!
