Ah, July. Goodness, what happened in July? I know this update is fearfully late, but hey, at least it’s being written! || Highlights & Lowlights // I’m gonna put this at the top so everyone can see it even if they don’t scroll: That’s right!! The...

Although I made it a hard rule only to buy books that I’ve already read, that doesn’t mean I stick to that rule. If a book is free, all rules are off. And if a book is super old, or is by an author I really love, or if it’s a book I want toContinue r...

This paper is the one I wrote for my English exam this March, and I decided to share it here. Hope you enjoy! Let me know your thoughts 🙂 Introduction Libraries have been around for thousands of years. But there are those who believe that libraries...

Greetings, Bookworm Readers! As the author of semi-biographical fiction, I often find discrepancies between real life and what constitutes “good storytelling” in writing. Since I keep to the truth of the history as faithfully as I can, my books fail...

It’s 10:54 a.m. as I write this (what time will it be when I actually send it??), and I’d like to state I’ve been very productive. ✅ I updated, signed, and sent an editing contract (after realizing I signed an unfinished copy where I forgot to fill...

Welp, June feels like it was a long, long time ago… and yet I don’t seem to have much to share… *shrugs* || Highlights & Lowlights // The Once Upon a Pen awards are open! I’m really hoping to get my book nominated. I need 5 nominations to get my...

I wanted Goodreads for so long and I was thrilled when I was finally allowed to get it in 2020. I spent almost all summer copy and pasting my thousands of reviews into the system and tagging it meticulously. For a time, I kept my shelves scrupulously...

As I write this, it’s a balmy July evening, and we are rejoicing in the coolness. I don’t know about you, but we’ve been having real scorchers here, and I am so grateful for the break, if only for one day! Unfortunately, I haven’t been outside yet (t...

I know, I just wrote y'all a newsletter, but this one is worth you checking out, for 2 reasons. 1. My book is participating in the Summer Multi-Author Giveaway hosted by Kylie @ The Film Director's Wife! There's 2 huge bundles with over 30 parti...

Good afternoon, lovelies! I've neglected this newsletter shamefully but my blog hasn't fared much better (we're existing solely on tags at the moment) so just count your blessing that I remembered you. ;P And yes, this is a short newsletter because I...

Today is a very, very short newsletter. It’s been a long time and I’ve missed you all so much. I don’t have the time for updates today, but briefly, my computer broke twice, my iPhone broke and I’m still waiting for a new one, lots of other problems,...
