It's here! Daughter of the Bride is now available on Amazon in ebook form. Paperback is also coming in the next few days, if you prefer a paperback experience.

Hey tumblr, I wrote a book! It's about mothers, daughters, reality television, life in the public eye, and, of course, fake dating a douchebag Instagram influencer to avoid pushing anyone into a pool on camera. Excited to share some more previews in the next few days! You can also follow me on instagram at cjhousman if you want basically the same posts, but on instagram.

[ponyregrets]

I made a tumblr for my original fiction writing! Feel free to give it a follow, or follow cjhousman on instagram if you'd rather. Or follow both! And of course follow your heart. That's the most important thing.

I’d like to live through a week that’s not a whole new verse of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”

Heated Rivalry | 1.01 ➜ 1.06

[twobabkas]

How did we let this happen? We were both very stupid and irresponsible. This is real though, right? Yeah.

[becherdireinen]

as 2025 comes to an end, and everyone is posting their achievements, or their personal news like engagements, pregnancies, first house bought. i need you to know, sometimes just surviving the year is the achievement. sometimes just pushing through the heavy dark days is enough.

The quiet negotiations. The restraint. The cost of belonging. I wrote about why that kind of recognition matters…and what it can shift in culture when stories get the interior right. Full piece is live on Substack.
