I miss when I was ten years old and the world seemed so impossibly huge and full of bright eyed wonder. I miss dreaming of what I was going to be when I grew up. I miss my mom making me peanut butter sandwiches for lunch. I miss swimming in the pool for hours and hours until my fingers turned into prunes. I miss when the air was sweet and not chalky. And I miss when my head wasn't full of self doubt.

I love it when you're so absorbed in reading a book that you forget about the rest of the world. I feel like this happens a lot when you're younger, but it's so so important to experience that same feeling as an adult, too! Tag with the book that wowed and awed you as an adult 🥰

It's my job as an author to not have to hold your hand when you read my work. My writing should be able to stand on its own and the reader should be able to pick up what my text is trying to convey, without me, the author, tapping your shoulder every ten seconds.

That's my goal, anyway.

As the world goes on

and on

I find myself wondering

when I will catch up to everyone.

A fire burns around

me, but I am cold inside

unable to warm.

Outside, the world

continues as if I

were never there at all.

I hope all writers are having a good day.

Fun fact: revising your wip is just like writing fanfiction for your own stories!!

After being on my tbr for FOREVER I finally finished reading this! A super cute and cosy middle grade fantasy that I highly enjoyed 💜

fire, blazes

in the hearth. A drop of

heat ripples across the street

drowning blades of grass, flowers;

sidewalks melt.

A fire blazes; eats

the town whole.
