Writing again :)

Hello there. It is officially Fall in the Western hemisphere of the world and I am surprised that I am happy about it. This past Summer was so hot that I just couldn't take anymore. So, Autumn finally rolling in with the cooler temperatures is a very welcome relief. Growing up, my favorite seasons used to be Spring and Summer only because I hated the cold. And I kind of still do lol. But as I'm getting older, my favorite seasons are Spring and Autumn. I've always loved the Autumn, with all the beautiful colors and Fall themed flavors, and the harvest of Fall foods. But it was hard for me to connect with the season because it was such a heavy reminder for me that Winter was coming and Winter is my least favorite season. If I could live in a place with no Winter, I would be very happy. But I try to take each season in stride though.



Anyway! I did not come on here to yap about the weather. I came to say that I am finally writing again! It's been a little over a month since school has started back up and I feel like I am back in somewhat of a flow. I know things will pick up again towards the end of the year, but at least I do not take my work home with me. That is a line I try my best not to cross. Work is for work. Home is for me.

I'm currently writing my seventh story that is book 2 in what is now becoming a series of standalones. I wasn't sure at first that this is what I wanted to do but since the story idea wouldn't leave me alone, I decided to go ahead and write it. I have not yet decided on how many books in this standalone series I will want. Maybe three, or four at most. I have vague ideas for a third and fourth story. I've also come to the realization that this little series is a lot more fleshed out than my other stories, which makes sense because these are also a bit longer. I've also come to understand that what I write is firmly in the 'erotic fiction' category, not erotica. Which is fine by me. I like writing what I write, whatever the categorization is.

I'm currently on chapter 3 out of what might not be any more than 10 chapters. My goal is to have this story finished by the end of the month. I would love it if I could crank out 1 story per month until the end of the year so I can reach my previous goal of having 10 completed stories. But if that doesn't happen, I won't beat myself up over it. I really only settled on 10 as the number because that is how many stories or writing pieces the copyright office will accept at one given time. And in order to maximize and get the most bang for my buck, I want to submit all 10 possible. Especially since the cost of copyright has increased.

So! That's my update for right now. I am writing again and that's the most important part. Cheers to more writing and having fun while I'm at it! 🥂

And also, Happy Autumn 🍄🍁🍂

Finally hitting publish

Hello everyone and happy new year if you are reading this. I just wanted to stop by and say that I have finally taken the leap and published my first story on Amazon! It's been an interesting final month of 2025 and quite frankly, I am glad 2025 is over. I stayed home and brought in the new year by publishing my book lol. This first book is my shortest and called Rainy Day in . It's a sweet but steamy read about two best friends who finally admit to themselves that they like each other and take the next step in their relationship. This story is probably my least spicy story that I've written but I still like it. It's short and sweet and for the spice rating, on a scale of 1 to 5, this story would probably be a 3. However, the spice/steam rating scales confuse me as there are many out there and none quite align enough to make the ratings consistent. I just know that while there is an explicit scene in my story, many people would probably find it very vanilla, and I'm...

April wrap-up and a new book release!

 I meant to have this blog post up already, but we are now already a week into May and my newest book release has already gone live 😓  Writing & Publishing updates Yes, you read that right. My sixth story, Goddess Playhouse , has gone live on Kindle Unlimited and for some reason I feel really antsy about it. I don't even know why. I finished writing this story last year, as most of my stories were already written and I have been publishing my backlog. But for whatever reason, publishing this one has me fidgety and feeling nervous flutters in my stomach. This was another story that was completely out of my comfort zone, however, I felt so free when writing it. This was cathartic for me and I know I've said that before about my stories, but I don't know what other word to use to describe how I feel and felt during the drafting process. I guess I'm also nervous because I want people to like this one too. Well, I want people to like all my stories lol. This one just ha...

February recap and things

Hello there. I know it's mid March and I am just now getting around to giving a writing and self-pub update for February, but things got weird for me in February. Writing stuff No writing updates really. I have been feeling creatively blocked and I know it's because of how I have been feeling with everything going on lately. I have also been struggling at my full-time job. Without going into any details, any time I feel like this, my creativity completely disappears. So once again, I have gone another month without writing any new stories or ideas. Newbie publishing stuff I am projected to make around $5 for the month of February which is an increase from January so yay! I am still debating with myself on if I am going to get an instagram again. I feel like the older I get and the more my country goes to shambles with lack of privacy protections and all that, I become more and more averse to the various social media platforms. YouTube, Reddit, and this blog are my only social m...
