I appreciate readers who were readers before it became a whole personality trend. Who didn't need a community or a trend to pick up a book. But because something in them was hungry for worlds beyond their own, and a book was the only thing that fed it.

Reading a book alone at night is peak.

I am absolutely ✨THRILLED✨ to reveal the cover for my ghostly debut A MOST DECADENT CURSE, now available for preorder at retailers everywhere! 🌊👻 #coverreveal #writingcommunity

I'm so tired of all the writing rules. "Don't do this", "Don't do that", blah blah blah... You know what? I'll do what I want. My book. My story. My characters. If I'm not allowed to write however I want, how am I supposed to have my own voice as an author? There IS an audience for me and my stories/poems, even if it's not a big one, and I don't mind.

With a good book, I mean just call it paradise

We neither confirm nor deny whether it's much of a debate.
