Yeah, so, remember when I said it was originally supposed to be a short story? 😅😅😅
Well, now I have to make the decision on whether to condense things and make it shorter or expand and make it a full book.

Well, I feel like a Disney princess now, lol
A bird got stuck inside & struck a window. As I approached, it flew back toward the window, flapping wildly. I asked it to calm down so I could show it how to get out, & it did. I took it outside & put it on a tree. After a few minutes, it flew away 💕

How it feels to FINALLY get Deathbringer's ending *just* right after the fourth rewrite of the month 😬
So happy and relieved that it's finally finished 😭🥰

Had a beautiful time at the yoga retreat. 🧡
But if there's one thing I could have done differently, it would have been to wear more sunscreen 😅

I'm going on a yoga retreat soon and I think it's finally dawning on Mia that I'm not going to be here for a bit. This is her face while watching me pack

Saw this scrolling and, well 😳 I feel called out 😬
If you also needed a reminder that writing books takes time, this is for you: don't worry about feeling like you're not writing fast enough or making enough progress. The simple fact that you're writing AT ALL is enough. You will get there.

One screen for writing, one screen for bird videos 😂 I'm glad she's so entertained, but I do wish she'd learn to keep her paws off the screen.

Trying to decide whether to go home to see Mia over lunch or stay at the office and write... She was so sad when I left this morning. How could I say no to that face?

I fell off the wagon with the craziness last week, but I'm back! I just started reading this one yesterday but it's adorable so far, and I loved Dustin Thao's other work, so I have high hopes for this to become a new fave 💕
