TW - Baby Loss

On Thursday, at 18 weeks, my water broke and I delivered our beautiful baby boy. My heart is broken, our family is grieving a loss we never even dreamed of having. I don’t have any words. Truly. This is a pain I’d never wish on anyone.

All of that to say, everything with the publication of Out of Left Field is on hold for the moment while we take time to process and grieve.

Thank you for understanding 🩵

Besties… i have a ANOTHER secret 🤫

Yall are the first to know because OBVIOUSLY i wouldn’t be where i am without you and your support ♥️

It’s good news and bad news, I’m afraid….

But!

As of Monday, OoLF will be taken off of Tumblr and Wattpad because… it’s being published!!

OoLF will be my second book out in the world (thanks to you guys and your constant support!!) and I’m so freaking excited to share these characters (some change, some stay the same) and the new chapters I’ve written and the old ones I’ve tweaked.

I wanted to give you a heads up before i took it down.

Can’t wait to share more info soon!! 🤩♥️💙

Hello my dears 🩵

Just popping on to remind you that i love you and i think about you all constantly 🫶🏻

i know the world is scary right now. I know a lot of us feel helpless, angry, lost, terrified, and so much more. I wish i could come on here and preach some inspiring, life-changing advice. But I’m coming up blank on a lot of things.

I genuinely do not know or understand how people wanted this. I do not understand how people voted for this. How people cheer and praise for this. How people see videos and pictures of families being ripped apart and feel anything other than the kind of anguish that physically feels like a punch to the chest.

I feel betrayed by the people in my life that voted for this. The people who were supposed to love me unconditionally who abandoned all sense of their humanity for… what? bigotry? Hatred? Anger?

I’m angry at people who promised to love my husband as their own and broke it for a man who cares about nothing more than lining his own pockets?

My heart aches for the men, women, and children of Palestine. And Congo. And Sudan.

I’m grateful for the people who consistently show up to fight. To resist. To show the world that love will always trump hate. I’m grateful to the people who are hanging onto their humanity with an iron fist. To the people who listen and learn when presented with challenging views instead of disregarding for the sake of their ego.

I’m thankful for you guys. Because the world is scary, but i see your posts, i see your resistance, i see your love, and it feels a little less intimidating.

I see you. I hear you. I love you.

Keep being a little beacon of light in the storm. Keep resisting. Keep speaking up. Keep loving and spreading joy.

Keep fighting.

And most importantly…

Fuck Donald Trump.

I love this story- EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. One of my favorite Mafia AU stories ever!

The writing is so good, and the plot is beautifully written. ❤️

[time-for-a-library]

Thank you so so much! 🫶🏻♥️

[time-for-a-lullaby]

hello my loves 🫶🏻

how are you all?? I miss this so much ngl 😭

ive gotten a ton of questions on my author instagram and TikTok about coming back here to write and the truth is, idk. I think for awhile i thought i was done but the desire does arise every once in awhile, but i truthfully dont know!

the door isn’t completely closed, I’m just not reaching for it rn. Ya know?

but i love you endlessly and i hope you’re all doing well 🥹🫶🏻🩵

[time-for-a-lullaby]

i love you guys so much.

I've been sitting here staring at my computer for the longest time trying to figure out exactly what to say. I've been trying to find the words to accurately portray just what you guys mean to me and just how thankful I am for each and every one of you, and I just keep coming up blank. Or maybe it's the tears making it hard to see the screen. Idk. 🙃 (but it's probably the latter)

I think you guys saw this coming way before I did and I'm sorry for leaving you in the dark for so long while I figured out exactly what was next for me. And as difficult as it has been for me to come to this decision... I think my days of fanfic have come to an end.

As some of you know, my debut novel was released on January 16th and since then, my focus has been pulled toward writing book two in the series and I just don't have the mental capacity to do both. I'm so incredibly sorry for that.

I will never EVER be able to express just how much you all mean to me. I will never be able to thank you for giving me the courage to write, for giving me feedback, and for sending me so much love and advice. There are so many things that I'm thankful for when it comes to my writing journey, but at the top of the list, it will always be YOU.

I am where I am in this journey because each and every one of you gave me the confidence to pursue this passion. I hope you know that I'm eternally grateful!!!

I do think now that I've gotten this weight off of my chest, I'll feel better about being on tumblr lmfao i've been feeling guilty about logging on and not having answers about where i am with writing... so please know this definitely isn't goodbye. I love you guys too much for that! But as for writing on this account, I don't think we'll be seeing anything else from me.

It's such a bittersweet feeling and I hope you guys can understand where I'm coming from!

Tumblr will always hold a special place in my heart. Ya'll got me through such a hard time in my life and it means the world.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you so so much.

I've gotten a couple of asks about book stuff so I'll answer it here at the bottom so I'm not spamming your feed :)

Here's the link to my instagram if you want to follow along! I do post there more frequently.

Here is the link to my website :)

Here is the link to goodreads!

[time-for-a-library]

I’m not the best at giving reviews, but I could not pass the chance to let you know how absolutely amazing your book is. The roller-coaster of emotions kept me hooked from start to finish and the way you played with words made it easy to feel everything. Grief is not easy and so different from a person to another, yet I feel like you were able to express it in a way people could relate.

Congratulation, thank you for sharing your stories with us and I can’t wait to see what’s next (but take all the time you need)!! 🥰

GAHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'm so glad you loved it!

Thank you for taking the time to let me know, it means the absolute world to me!!!

[time-for-a-library]

hi my darling - idk if you’re able to answer asks yet but i just wanted to say that i think what you’ve accomplished is absolutely amazing and has been very personally inspiring :)

i just wanted to ask - how did you gain the confidence to start uploading your writing ? i think it’s something i’d really enjoy and really want to do, but i wouldn’t know how to attract an audience or be brave enough to post anything i write ❤️

honestly, the best thing for me was anonymity. In the beginning, no one here knew my face, my name, nothing. I could just post and if they didn't like it, oh well... they don't know who I am, so it's fine! haha.

It's one of those things that you just have to do! You'll never know unless you try it and I know that that's so much easier said than done, but it's the truth. Even if you don't attract an audience at first, KEEP going! Use tags, make friends!

Most importantly, write for YOU. You are NEVER going to be able to please every single person that reads your work so do what makes you happy!

I hope you find the courage to post something because there will always be someone out there who wants to hear what you have to say!

[time-for-a-lullaby]

I literally don’t know what’s going on with my tumblr app, but i can’t answer asks for some reason? Like i click on the button and nothing happens. So im not ignoring you all, i promise! I’ll get on my laptop later tonight to answer (:
