We Shine Together

November 5th, 2025 I don’t know if I’ve ever been this stressed out in my life. There’s a part of me that wants to be cute about this and call it my iceberg era; you can see my head treading above water but nobody knows the size and intensity of the sea monster just beneathContinue reading “We Shine Together”

Fallcon 2025

October 11th, 2025 “I love this community so much.” I lost count of how many times I heard people say this over the weekend, but what’s one more: I love this community so much. Thank you for having lunch with me, for inventing candy tea with me, for talking Alien and Dune and Tron withContinue reading “Fallcon 2025”

The Rules

September 10th, 2025 I don’t write about my dad as much as I do my mom; it’s not that he isn’t as important to me, but that he’s still here. Often, when I’m writing about her, I find it’s my attempt to lose as little of her as I can, like collecting stardust into aContinue reading “The Rules”

Book Fair For Grown-Ups 2025

July 12th, 2025 So: the Book Fair For Grown-Ups by Inbound Brewing Co. happened today at the State Fair Education Building after going viral last year at their brewery. I thought it was such a neat idea and signed up immediately. Now: I do a lot of events. My expectations are always as follows: IContinue reading “Book Fair For Grown-Ups 2025”

SpringCon 2025

June 7th, 2025 Another SpringCon is in the books and I just wanted to give my gratitude to all the organizers, volunteers, attendees, and my fellow writers, artists, and vendors. You all are the best and I’m not just saying that; you’re kind, inspiring, and annoyingly talented. I took basically no photos today and that’sContinue reading “SpringCon 2025”

This Is 40

May 1st, 2025 It’s my birthday today. I love my birthday. I’m awful like that. I also believe that you should cherish celebrating each one, because there will come a point in time when you cannot. That’s dark, but it’s my birthday. So let’s face facts: I’m supposed to be dead. I did all theContinue reading “This Is 40”

Sleeping Dogs

March 24th, 2025 It’s no surprise I’m stressed out (because I live on this planet and this planet does not have its shit together whatsoever); I’m ambitious yet anxious, careful yet crazy, busy yet broke. I was walking past the bed and saw Marvel sleeping under the sun on our sheets, and I will neverContinue reading “Sleeping Dogs”

School Update: Spring Break ’25

February 26th, 2025 It’s only a week until spring break (holy cow!), so I thought I’d write another school update for anybody who wants to read it. This is a good one. Grab a cup of coffee or hot cocoa (it’s on me) and let’s chat for a minute. So: I haven’t quit! Honest! AndContinue reading “School Update: Spring Break ’25”

School’s Out For ’24

December 26th, 2024 Grades were released today. This is probably the last time I’ll ever be able to say this, but: I’m an A student this year! It’s not that I was a bad student when I was younger (though there are probably teachers who would respectfully disagree); I was definitely on the disruptive side,Continue reading “School’s Out For ’24”
