Why I think House of Earth and Blood,by Sarah J. Maas, should have been two books
I finally read “House of Blood and Earth,” by Sarah J. Maas. For those of you who don’t know, HOEAB is the first of Maas’ Crescent City Series, interspersed in the cultural phenomenon that is the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. (At least, it feels like a phenomenon. The thing about the TikTok… Continue reading

Book Diaries: HYSTERIA, by Jessica Gross (2020)
This is a book I would call “not for everyone.” It’s not a fun, satisfying plot. It’s not sexy as in, hot. It’s more like, do you ever feel so much shame about sleeping with your dad’s colleague at their psychiatrist dinner party and consequently self-sabotage so hard that you give a blowjob to a… Continue reading

Spring, showers, joy, grief
Earlier this year, I complained lightheartedly to my dad about how my entire year was planned around celebrating other people’s life events. Baby showers and bachelorette parties and children’s birthdays. Most of my people are together in the same place and I’m elsewhere, bumbling through the start of a new career, booking flights and making… Continue reading

I’m doing good, I’m on some new shit.
(If you remember back before I started half caring about SEO when all my post titles were T Swift or FOB lyrics, you a real one.)

What i learned from failing nanowrimo (again)
Well, it’s finally December, which means I can stop pretending I’m going to finish this novel! My fifth and most recent attempt to participate in National Novel Writing Month was much more fruitful than any of my past attempts. I clocked in with 32,412 words. About 17K short of the 50K goal. The “novel” itself… Continue reading

100 Words about driving alone.
Is it wrong to say? I love driving long distances by myself. I am exquisite company, and I have a system. It begins with iced coffee and a showtunes playlist and I belt, sometimes all the way through Phoenix before I switch to an audiobook. I don’t have to listen long before I realize another… Continue reading

About the author (lol) on her 27th birthday
Here’s how it works: I write a few blog posts. I change my whole website’s branding. I update my out-of-date bio. I don’t post again for a whole year. Repeat. The cycle continues. Five years pass. And now I’m 27 and done with my MFA and actively working toward finishing my first book and trying… Continue reading
