Our elected politicians in the US government didn’t just ban TikTok—they banned BookTok, too! Maybe #booksky will prove to be a better alternative.

Do poets still breathe
the breath and breadth
of their poems?

Or—
do they lie down
and just die?

Today was a good day. Wrote 6,000+ words in my WIP novel.

Kudos to the creators of NovelCrafter—an incredible tool for drafting a novel.

The app's codex feature is such a game-changer. It’s like having a bird’s-eye view of your entire story, all at once. A godsend for novelists and authors, really.

My entire life I’ve loved to learn. Here’s to another year of learning and growing as a human.

In 2025, my answer is: "No, I can't. I have a novel to finish."

Writing a novel is like assembling IKEA furniture without the instructions—just pure hope, stubbornness, and the growing suspicion you’ve built an existential crisis instead of a bookshelf.

Some of us are born of destiny,
and some of us are born of love.

But the lucky few—
those rarest of souls—
they are born of dreams
