Nikki Giovanni wrote some of my favorite poems to teach, read, and learn from. What a life she lived. What lucky readers we were to be around to witness her brilliance. ❀️

In 2023, I pre-ordered 12 sapphic books for my wife’s Xmas present, one per month. It brought her JOY…I’d love to do it again! So, help me, what sapphic books are you most excited about for 2025? Her faves include Karelia Stetz-Waters, Olivia Waite, Ashley Herring Blake, Amy Spalding… #sapphicreads

I'm at 45,222 words. I'm going to make it to 50k by Thursday. I have never had a novel pour out of me so fast, so clearly. Like my heart has a direct line to the source of this story. I am so grateful.

I don't want to jinx it, but I'm on a NaNoWriMo roll like I've never experienced before. Words pouring out of me. Close to 28,000 words already and I've written every single day this month. The key this time around? JOY. The whole book brings my heart such joy.
