I'm back into writing and can't wait to get some stories that have been moving around in my head. I love to write fiction and I love to journal. My hopes are to become a better writer and avid reader. I love wine and cats.

Soup For Life
I love soup. I love eating soup and I love making it. I feel like a witch, working at her couldron when I make soups. Ever since I was a kid, I would have at least 5 bowls of soup. I would eat it until it felt like my belly would burst. I still do, but usually 2-3 bowls of soup is enough to get me belly-bursting full.

"I Feel Infinite"
When I think about a book that changed me, I think of several different books. But one that stands out is The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Maybe it's cliché to say this book changed me; when I tell people it's one of my top 5 favorite books, they usually roll their eyes at me. But this book brings me comfort. Every time I read it, I learn something new, realize something new.

My First
When I was in elementary school, we had some free time. I had been daydreaming most of the day about my dog, Buddy. He was such a good boy. I was dreaming that he had run off and found a girl dog and they fell in love and then she had puppies. I decided to sit down and write a story. I made a little book out of it too! I was so proud of my work.

The Great Gatsby
When I was forced to read The Great Gatsby in high school, I loathed the book. BORING. But as an adult, I revisited it and found it to be one of my favorite novels. The narrative is beautiful and the storytelling, fantastic. Capturing what used to be The American Dream.

Chicken Noodle Soup is the Best Cure
I wait impatiently for my phone to ping as I stare at it. I realize I haven't blinked in a while and my eyes are dry. She never takes this long to message back. God, she's bored with me already. NO. No, she just hasn't looked at her phone. I decide this is stupid, just waiting like this, so I get up to make myself some dinner.

C.A.L.M
I learned this trick from Jane the Virgin and loved it. When Jane was feeling really frustrated or upset, her grandmother told her to remain CALM. Think of things that keep her calm or make her happy. Grandma's really do know everything. Whenever I'm feeling frantic or frustrated or any big feeling, I just think C.A.L.M. Thinking of things that keep me calm. Because what a neat trick.

A Good Ol' ClassicTop Story - September 2022
It was a wonderfully rainy day; all day, it poured then drizzled, poured and drizzled. I love the rain. Every day, I praise myself for making the move to Seattle Washington. It's been 8 months and I couldn't be happier.

I Finally Love My Job
They say when you find a job you love, you never work a day in your life again. Well, I can’t say that I don’t work, but what I can say is that I love the work that I do. How do I know I love it? Well, I wake up every morning, Monday through Friday, NOT dreading getting up, NOT dreading the day ahead of me, and NOT dreading the week ahead. In fact, I find my weekend ending with me saying “man, I can’t wait to get to work tomorrow!” And I find that in itself, exciting! For years, I had been saying “I just want to make a ton of money and not have to do a lot of work!” Classic, right? How did I get from there to where I am now?

Welcome Back Writer
For years, I’ve been talking about finally getting back into writing. Truth be told, I haven’t been writing since I graduated from college in 2018. During that time, I had so many writing projects that needed to be completed for classes, plus having to read my classmates stories and writing constructive criticism back to them. Did I love it? Not really. School work, you know? But when I graduated, and it was all over, and I really didn’t need to be worrying about anything but living?! I said, “screw writing!” and just stopped completely. After a while, I began to miss the feeling of typing out a story that’s due in less than an hour. The feeling of completing a writing project and the satisfaction I felt when reading a good story that I had written.
