we're all mad here
At the end of my last two weeks, there was a wedding. The first one, I knew it was going to end in a wedding. There was no other way that I could close out the trilogy than to finally show off the absolutely badass love my main couple had than with a Goth wedding.…

I am not excited about this check-in. It’s been a rough year so far. Between a lot of travel, an insane uptick in business at work, and just a whole slew of little things, I have gotten very little done. Although maybe I’ll surprise myself? I don’t honestly remember what about half of my goals…

I am a very predictable person. This has been well-documented, and it is absolutely not at all shocking when I start writing a new book, and my friends always ask, “So who’s the baker?” There are just always going to be some staples that thread themselves throughout all of my books.

Although, if we’re being honest, I am so hyped for 2022 that I’m actually pretty excited to have typed that. ICYMI, here is my initial goal setting post in January, as well as my quarterly check-in in April…

Let it be known, right from the very beginning of this post, that my future published books will always have a cliffhanger. If they’re a standalone, obviously they won’t, but if it’s a duology, the cliffhanger is coming in the first book, and if it’s a trilogy, the cliffhanger is coming in the second book.…

Originally, I was just going to do an overall check-in with my writing and see how it’s changed, but then I got to thinking. I track my writing every month, and there have been a lot of changes this year that stick out very specifically in each month, so I think it might be more…

The sheer amount of times that a) someone has said this to me and b) I’ve put this post back in my drafts because it fills me with rage is somehow equal, and I hate it. I was about to say that I feel like a lot of my posts have been ranty lately, but…
