Okay, so it’s been a minute since my last post. And by “a minute”, I mean like nine months.
My bad.
Life has been life-ing. And technically, I wasn’t planning to use my website like an actual blog, so journal-y entries like this weren’t really part of the plan. Except all of my creative energy is going into my WIP because I ENTERED A WRITING CONTEST.
Entries close 03/31/2026. Like a completely reasonable person, I submitted on 03/02/2026 only so I could stop OBESSING over hitting submit.
Now I can obsess about how many mistakes I probably left in it. Including, apparently, submitting it twenty-nine days early.
To refocus that energy, I’m continuing the contest piece. I’m on chapter eighteen now 🎉.
I’m hoping to have the first draft done and dusted by the end of April, just in time for the winners to be announced.
That way, win or lose, I have something to show for the time passing. (Which is just me trying to be ✨optimistic✨, my mental WIP, if you will.)
But like my sister told me: “MANIFEST THAT SHIT”
So here’s me manifesting that good things will happen.
It is inevitable.
