Just finished a productive session with Just Write Milwaukee. I wrote almost 3000 words and sealed them with "the end." #WriterLife

Love this! Welcome to Bluesky!

This was a great workshop! Insightful and filled with great conversation. Thank you!

If you see this, post a book you’ve read more than once 📖 📚

I rarely read a book more than once, but Tolkien holds a special place in my heart that demands I read his works again and again. Someday, I hope to read it to my kids as well.

Congrats on making the goal!

Okay, okay, I started the third book and this one feels like it has potential. It features a male protagonist who seems like more than a necessary love interest. And the characters’ lineage to the gods is another parallel that could make for a stronger comp. Gotta keep reading!

How many books is too many to read at one time? I grabbed five possible comparable titles from the bookstore, and so far the first two don’t seem close at all. Do I finish them first or just start the next one?

DreamCasters is a wonderful group and totally worth joining!

Oh my goodness! I had an AlphaSmart that I wrote on for most of my teenage years!

Today has been an amazing day—I’ve learned so much and met so many amazing people at Superstars! It’s overwhelming but in the best possible way :)

I am learning so much at Superstars. So grateful to be here and meeting so many wonderful people!

An adventure begins with a single step. Or months of planning and anticipation, lots of anxiety (did I remember to pack everything?), and hours of waiting at the airport.

“Legacy of the Lost Voters” is a satirical story about the dangers of AI and the moral obligation of allowing the deceased to have their say in modern politics. But in a shocking twist, AI is unable to harm humanity, forcing the program to short circuit. Will morals prevail—wait, whose morals?

Oh no! That’s so upsetting

One week until Superstars Writing Seminar! So excited! I can’t wait

Autocorrect changed “tea cup” into “tea cult” and now I think I have a new story idea.

Dentist update: only one cavity and I was able to get it filled today, plus they fixed the broken filling. Best part? It was small enough they didn’t need to numb me, so no puffy mouth feeling afterward.

Guess who’s at the dentist with a broken filling? That’s right, me! But that’s ok. It’s not like I got scarred by Final Destination as a kid or anything. This’ll be fine.

I don’t post enough, so I figured I’d post something.

There. I posted something. 😭

It’s so cold school got cancelled today. Right before finals. Goodness.

Consistency in Review At the start of this year, 2023, I took a look at my life and decided the theme for the year should be consistency. In 2022, I focused on rebuilding myself--pulling together the pieces of a world turn...

It's time for my annual look back upon the year. Did I meet my 2023 goals? Let's find out together!

I enjoyed this issue :)

Gray weather and early sunsets are an awful combination. There’s not enough coffee or tea to get me going anymore TT_TT

Shiny hunting in Pokémon Scarlet. Hatched almost a thousand eggs and still no shiny pink Pawmi. TT_TT

I love it! That’s a great shirt
