Constantly Changing Book 2 | Writing Journal
So, you know how I was working on a novel as my second book? Well, that is no longer the case [shrugs shoulders]. I decided that I don’t care about Kanoa’s story anymore (harsh, I know). Quite honestly, his story is the one that was tripping me up the most. I was working with two…

What’s New?
Has my YouTube journey come to an end so quickly? I don’t want it to end yet, but the free video editor I liked stopped working and I’ve since downloaded, tested, and uninstalled five others (one of them froze my laptop). I don’t have a Mac, so iMovie isn’t an option, and the default Windows…

May Writing Goals
I’ve come to two conclusions since last week: Fridays should be my writing days. I’m going to finish my novel before continuing my next collection of essays. I’ve recently started working with my cousin and (separately) her web designer. I’m working part time for both of them (9a-1p and 1p-5p, respectively), but I don’t work…

Home Office Inspo
We’re supposed to be moving in two weeks. Went to the house Sunday and the island is TWENTY INCHES closer to the door than in the model. Somebody screwed up and they have to fix it (probably means removing tile, tearing the island down, then rebuilding it, but I’m no contractor so I don’t really…

Book Two Doubts
I did not have high expectations for my first book. I wrote it because I had to; it was the only way to move forward. I received a lot of support from family and my mom’s work friends that I did not expect, but it was very much welcomed. Even before I published Discovering My…

Sourcing Black-Owned Teas (Intro)
If you’ve been here for a period of time, you know I love a good cup of tea. The last time I wanted to order tea from the shop in Georgia where I used to get tea, I wasn’t able to. I don’t know if they shut down temporarily or permanently, but I had to…

Michael Zapata: The Lost Book of Adana Moreau
So, I have no idea what synopsis I was looking at, but The Lost Book of Adana Moreau had nothing to do with Adana Moreau living in a parallel universe and having to decide to come back to her own Earth [insert nervous laugh]. She did write a book about parallel universes, though. And, unlike…

Does Anyone Else Get Triggered by Notifications?
So, I’m currently on this social media break, right? Well, I’ve been trying out some of the fancy new features on the S21+, including Bixby Routines and Focus Mode, so I set a focus mode to specifically keep IG and Snapchat locked and had it running for the first few days of this month. All…

New Desk, a Social Media Break, and a Month of Loving on Myself
Hello February and Happy Black History Month! I posted on Instagram a few days ago, reminding myself that painted desks aren’t paint-proof. You see, I recently upgraded from a small glass desk (it was an office entryway table in a former life, and by “former life” I mean “at my old property management job”) to…
