I started editing the WIP that I finished drafting 2 years ago. I have a ways to go, but I'm excited about this one! (Yes, it's my creepy forest, Rapunzel inspired, botanical magic fantasy novel 👌🏻) #writingcommunity
This week, I emphasized self-care. I had a great workout, got a relaxing massage, and had salmon for dinner. So, of course, I had to round it up with mini homemade chocolate chip cookies, because balance!
I made a London Fog this morning and added my homemade vanilla syrup 🤍 #tealover
I'm in the mood for strawberries but still afraid to eat berries, so I'm having strawberry fig jam on toast and white chocolate strawberry tea, instead.
I think this batch of matcha isn't as good as the previous one. I'm looking to upgrade just a little if anyone has any matcha powder recommendations, preferably around or under $30! #matcha
So I'm currently reading Immortal Game as an ARC and I just found it at my local Barnes & Noble. It doesn't come out 'til August 4th 😅 #booksky
Doing hot girl shit (protesting the 11 proposed data centers in my county)
I watched the new ATLA movie last night and it was so much fun to watch! #avatarthelastairbender
I'm back after visiting my fiance in Texas, where apparently BlueSky makes you verify your age by either your social or driver's license...which was a hell naw from me!
Fall stuff is already coming out, so you know what that means! *Adds everything pumpkin related to my wedding registry* #autumnvibes
How I feel drinking English breakfast on July 4th. Happy July 4th in a I'm glad we have AC, we're a melting pot, justice and liberty for all, freedom of speech and no more book banning kinda way! #independenceday
It may feel like 118°F outside (it's like walking into an actual oven) but I sat in the AC at a coffee shop, got a coconut iced matcha, and edited a chapter today! #writingcommunity
I think going whale watching and then maybe spending 2+ weeks reading on a beach would fix a lot of my problems. #thursdaythoughts
Apparently the Waterloo Root Beer Float sparkling water is limited edition, so if anyone can still find it in stock online, please let me know 😭 #waterloo #sparklingwater
I got my stitches out from my gum graft today and was able to eat pastistio, spanakopita, and I'm about to eat some peach cobbler, so I'm counting this as a win 🙌🏼 #thursdaythoughts
I'm at the point where getting a warm Costco chocolate chip cookie for $2 is the the highlight of my day 😂
It took 3 years, but I finished the first draft of my fantasy novel today! Now it's time to edit my previous one. #writingcommunity
Sometimes self-care is reading in silence for hours with a cat by your side. #booksky
Oral surgery won't prevent me from making my weekend matcha (yes, I'm allowed to have caffeine now)! #matcha
Turns out the last 2 episodes of The Other Bennet Sister haven't been released in the US yet, so now I'm like, do I try to pick up a book or watch a movie? 😭
I'm almost out of my matcha, and my new one arrived as I was making my morning matcha (say that 5 times fast!) #matcha
I sent 3 more queries today for my YA fantasy. I'm almost done sending them for this one, (getting closer to 100 queries sent) and then I can focus on editing my next WIP and whipping it into shape! #amquerying
