As Anaïs Nin said, “We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect.” I’m usually one to press forward and embrace the future, so writing definitely helps me slow down and appreciate the small things. God, how beautiful the sunset looks, how wonderful a perfect cup of coffee.

We watched A House Made of Dynamite last night and yes… it’s a horror movie. 🫠

As I’m writing, I’m editing to make my story better, and as I’m living, I’m also trying to adopt the same philosophy to revise and clear the clutter, so that every cut I make clears space for what truly matters.

I maybe wanted more nerd talk/ day to day NASA tasks, but maybe that’s too boring??? Any recommendations for these kind of books? What can it say! I love the space program. 🙃

I loved the collision of dreams vs. reality. We can’t pick our family, so I loved how that often was at odds with her goals.

Second, a sapphic space drama??? Count me in.

First, as a NASA nerd, I was in heaven with all the space shuttle jargon. Shoutout to Sally Ride.

Just finished Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Atmosphere and I have some thoughts ☺️

I’m so happy to announce that Pocket Full of Teeth has been named a 2025 Silver Falchion Finalist! This award honors the best in published literature for 2024. Words can’t express the gratitude I feel!

Thank you to @killernashville for the honor and @runningwildpressllc for taking a chance on me!
