Today’s line that made me laugh:

β€œIt had been her life or Uncle Horace, and she hadn’t thought twice about it. But killing a second man within a month went beyond the level of what was acceptable in polite society.”
- To Love A Dark Lord by Anne Stuart

Now that my manuscript is complete I’m starting the process of pursuing traditional publishing. I’d love any resources the community is willing to share to help navigate this process for the first time.

Thanks!

Same! I couldn’t function! Or outside the fantasy, a stuffed bear constantly covered in sticky honey that my kids carrying around? I’d die.

I just told my husband the band Men at Work is severely underrated and he told me to name three songs… like excuse me sir, I was in middle school in the early 2000s… Would you like them from Business as Usual or Cargo?

But Mia - where did you go?

Well, I got knocked up, had a boat load of health issues, ended up in the hospital, life got hard, pregnancy is hard, and now here I am: Baby Muffin due next month!

On the bright side, I FINISHED MY BOOK!

Therapy is too expensive. Hit me with your favorite Dark Romance books. I need some effed up energy to balance out my real life right now. πŸ˜‚

My favorite part of living in the UK is that every time a British person makes me a cup of tea they’re a tiny bit disgusted.

Do recruiters and HR departments genuinely not realize we’re all holding our breaths as we wait to hear back from them? I’ve felt on the verge of passing out for over a week now. Just email me already!! 🫠

When you can’t concentrate on anything and have zero motivation: shove a chihuahua in your hoodie.

Film school did not properly prepare me for the psychological nightmare that is working in the #VFX industry.
