Last night, I picked up my 4th book I #amwriting (my first adult book--it's a paranormal murder mystery) & the words flowed out of me. I LOVE when that happens, when writing lends itself to an easy rhythm. Excited to keep writing after a long day of work!😍

Realized today that the back of the ring has a key symbol. The emerald bits in the ring are heart-shaped, and there are mini infinity symbols as the border of the front of the ring. Love it🤩

Excited to announce that my first speculative short story about Lupus will be published in @prosetrics.bsky.social's "Mirage" issue! It comes out in May, which is especially fitting because May is Lupus Awareness Month and it'll have been 1 year since my diagnosis! ❤️‍🩹🥄 #Lupusawareness #Lupuswarrior

My boyfriend got me a promise ring for our anniversary🥰 I LOVE it! It has a heart with an infinity symbol over the top with an emerald jewel inside, infinity symbols on the side, and our names engraved on the band. This is SO cute!🥰
