I am a writer and resident dreamer. Runs on coffee, music, and sarcasm. In short? A weird little nerdball. She/her demi/ace Repped by Jeanne De Vita at Martin Literary!

Youngest is pretty much the world’s greatest hype man, and, as such, LOVED doing cheer at summer school. We signed him up to do cheer this week and perform at the high school football game on Friday. At sign up, there was a place to list “shirt and skirt” sizes.

I can’t remember the last time I messed around with traditional art, but I had some cardstock, a pencil, and a feeling it was time to do a drawing refresher on Finn, will-o-the-whisp trickster in my horror-fantasy WIP. I might color it digitally. Let’s see where the day takes me.

Introducing Riley Sterling, protagonist in my horror-fantasy WIP: recently graduated English major, lover of classic rock, reading, and all things "weird." Stuck working hospitality at her family's orchard until something better crops up.

Something that has really struck me recently is that I think I’m finally shaking free of the deep, soul-searing burnout. I’m not just back to being myself, but becoming more of myself—the me I want to be. It’s a wild feeling when you’re beginning to be genuinely happy with the person you are.

GUYS. The art @coralkate.art (on threads and Instagram) did of my ragtag ghost hunting team. Is. AMAZING. I still lose my mind every time I look at it. IT’S MY DORKS!!! AHHHH~ I love this SO FREAKIN’ MUCH!!!
