Book Rainbow love from my bookstagram Hi everyone! Summer is almost upon us. Every June for the past five or so years, I’ve spent a week in Los Angeles for the world’s biggest video games convention and to visit my family (and sometimes, to visit Disneyland). Unfortunately, that won’t be happening this year, but I’ve… Continue reading Dreams and Goals

For the Love of Writing
Hi everyone! I've been working through this latest round of revisions of my WIP, and it is INCREDIBLE watching it turn into the book I want it to become, piece by piece. I'm both beyond excited and straight up terrified about the prospect of querying this spring. I'm far less scared of rejection than I… Continue reading For the Love of Writing
Your Race at Your Pace: A Tale of a 29-Year-Old
Hi everyone! Today happens to be my 29th birthday, and it's made me even more reflective than usual. Thirty is coming! The last year of my twenties! And 30 has always always felt like A Big Milestone -- maybe it means magically becoming more mature overnight, or more self-assured, or putting away the youth of… Continue reading Your Race at Your Pace: A Tale of a 29-Year-Old
2020 Goals
From my wedding day! Still dreaming of this. Hi everyone!

WEDDING WEEK
Coffee time! Holy crap, it's wedding week!!! I got engaged in Ireland last April, so it's been a decently long engagement of 1.5 years. Still, I can't believe the big day is here. Planning a wedding has been a lot of work, not gonna lie. I've enjoyed so much of it, especially since I started… Continue reading WEDDING WEEK
The Final Dive to Pitch Wars
My writing nook! It's August 27, which immediately brings to mind two things. One, it's exactly two months until my wedding! And two, it's exactly one month until Pitch Wars submissions are due. Which is....exciting! And nerve-wracking. When I first decided I'd apply to Pitch Wars, I figured the due date would be the end… Continue reading The Final Dive to Pitch Wars
What a Difference a Year Makes
Appa and my Cawfee mug keeping me company through revisions planning Hi everyone! I've been heads-down this month revising my YA desert adventure novel, FLARE, but I wanted to take a minute to reflect on the last 12 months. Last August, I wrote the full first draft of this novel. It is by far the… Continue reading What a Difference a Year Makes
The Journey to Pitch Wars
Hello hello! If you're also applying to Pitch Wars (a writer mentoring program) this September, you probably know it's about 60 days away. I'm not obsessing over this at all; nope, not me! (Yes me, absolutely me, HOW ARE THERE ONLY 60 DAYS LEFT?!?) I'll be honest; it's hard not to get overwhelmed by that… Continue reading The Journey to Pitch Wars
