When life hits the fan, go back to the basics. Who am I? But fo real tho? All the answers just fall into place after that.

If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been… I’ve been writing 😎

This novel is a #cozyfallromance set in a nowhere pumpkin town that my fellow #hallmarkies are gonna fall in love with! A free-spirited barista unsure of what she wants in life, a grumpy pumpkin farmer set in his routine, and a pumpkin festival on the verge of disaster. Can all their wishes come true?

And that’s all I’m gonna say! 🙃
 Next Step: polish up my query letter, and start sending it out to literary agents who work with #hallmarkpublishing ! 🤞🏻

🎃☕️🌾🍁🍂🧡

Literally nothing is more true. 😭😭 This sum

Literally nothing is more true. 😭😭

This summer has been so busy with my day job in HR and balancing writing my novel, I just keep putting off chores like laundry. 😂 Idk how people do it, but me, I haven’t figured it out. 🙃 #idkwhoneedstohearthis

I’m never sure what to say anymore. So much has

I’m never sure what to say anymore. So much has changed inside me since I started writing with the purpose to BE an author. I guess it’s the little moments that make you forget how old you are, how much pain and frustration and feeling stuck you’ve been through, how far you have left to go.

I love this pic because this is my family. The hubs looking hot-without-trying as always. The pup showing off his tiny butt. And me wanting to catch it all in a photo to remember it forever.

{Evening paddle with the hubs and pup, then we walked over the dam and watched the sun begin to set.}

I don’t just write about moments like these. I live them, too. 💕

I’mma just say it. We really take our freedoms f

I’mma just say it. We really take our freedoms for granted. But more and more I realize how important they are. When I was in high school, my English teacher told us that simply by being in America, we are in the top 5% in the entire world. And being alive in the 20th century? Top 3%. And the fact we were blessed to have a great education? Top 1%.

How truly lucky we are.

In America, it isn’t about where you are now. It’s about the POTENTIAL inside of you, and having the OPPORTUNITY to do something amazing with it. American Freedom, while legally protected, it’s a MINDSET that is unique to our country.

Babe, we are FREE!

I’ve been thinking about deleting my IG feed and

I’ve been thinking about deleting my IG feed and starting over. Going through my followers and cleaning house. Deleting bots. As a writer, I have this *neeeed* to edit the f out of my life. Delete what doesn’t fit anymore. It’s like a legitimate craving that won’t go away.🤤 In a story, it’s easy to delete. You just highlight the sentence and press the button. Rewrite the transition. Hold onto the tried and true fact that the reader doesn’t need to know the entire backstory. But in life, social media, it feels scary to do that. “What will they think?” “What if I ruin my chances of going viral?” (😂😂um I’ve been viral. It’s fleeting) But for real — I feel like deleting posts is like, super frowned upon, and you aren’t allowed to do it. But I’m tired of holding onto my backstory. I’m ready for my hero’s journey to begin. Idk. What would you do?

P.S. I’m past the half way mark in my #wip novel! 5 full chapters re-written and fully edited and ready to be sent out. 5 more to go!! #writerslife #creativeheart #authorsofig #amwriting #creativejourney #renocreatives #tahoecreatives

This is the hardest part. It’s past believing in

This is the hardest part. It’s past believing in yourself. It’s knowing you can.

Belief — is found in faith. Proof isn’t necessary for belief. In a way, it’s a thought that you believe is true. A thought — is inside your mind. Sometimes you speak it out loud, but mostly it’s not even tangible. It’s a thought.

Knowing — is found in proof. You know you can because you can see your talent and feel your drive to succeed. You’ve witnessed yourself reach a finish line before (even if it’s just in your #peloforwine class). In a way, knowing is a belief that is SO STRONG and based in proof and action, it becomes external.

Do you get the difference?

It’s easy. “I believe I can.” Vs “I know I can.”

That is all! Off to work in the office today. It rained yesterday and I finished editing through chapter 4 yesterday, which means I can rewrite chapter 5!

Super excited about this, because my free spirited barista just had an extremely embarrassing “almost kiss” with... #spoilers! 😉
