“Be bold and live a little! Enjoy the world!” Is my favorite line in my current wip, because we can all use a little encouragement from time to time. #yaromcom #writingcommunity

Had such a good time chatting with @sonorreyes at @steamylitcon and had to check out "The Broposal!" A queer, chaotic, heart-melting romcom full of big feelings, big laughs, and the most lovable disaster energy 💖😂 #QueerBooks #Yaromcom #romancebookrecommendations

Such an endorphin hit when I write a badass character doing a kickass thing. Love my character. And love that about writing.

Never doubt your dreams just because other people call them negative adjectives. They're not too childish, too nerdy, or too unreasonable. Believe in them. And be that cheerleader for yourself. #kidlitchat #kidlit #YAromcom #YA
So many ways! Read, watch a show, stare at my laptop for three hours straight, spiral into a mental breakdown where I doubt my existence, and snuggle in bed with a cup of hot tea. Best of all? Dream outing with my characters. Only if they’d visit more often. #kidlitchat #yaromcom #writingcommunity
Love how ideas always come to me when I’m trying to sleep… #writingcommunity #writesky #kidlit #yaromcom
This book is the perfect balance of humor, drama, immaturity, and swoony romance. The ’90s romcom nostalgia might just draw a smile out of you.

Been drafting my new YA rom-coms that’s a contemporary high school role reversal of Pride and Prejudice with a dash of Asian culture. About 25k into it and feeling great! #kidlitchat #kidlit #yaromcom #yaromance #writesky #writingcommunity
Nothing Like the Movies is even better than the first one! Saluting to Lynn Painter for taking me out of my reading slump and putting a smile on my face. #yaromcom #kidlit #readsky #booksky #lynnpainter
I choose to write YA, because high school was a particularly challenging time period for me. I want my stories to be a safe and healing place for other teens or teens at heart, so that they know they weren’t alone. #kidlitchat #yaromcom #kidlit #writingcommunity #writesky
A rom-com with a fantasy style map? YES PLEASE!

Depending on how much I like them**jk! I love secondary characters! The enemy, the ally, the distraction, the bad (good?) influence. I plan them before drafting to impact the protagonist's narrative. Each of them would represent something the protagonist does or doesn't need. #kidlitchat #YAromcom
Would love to see Johanna Ho’s The Silence that Binds Us turn into a movie!
I really enjoy watching The Babysitter’s Club with my daughter.
And lastly, of course I cast my characters when I draft! If only I could cast young Henry Cavill to play my mmc 😂

Drafting and brainstorming my new wip makes me giddy, that feeling when you watch two people change for the better and fall in love all in my head. The helpless romantic in me will never get enough of this. Onto chapter four I go.
