On Thursday's we thirst.
Well howdy, sweet pumpkin!
So, uh, how is it November??? HOW?? I blinked, and October was over. I did not get my spook on like my soul needed, so I've decided to make the first half of November into October Part 2--The Spookening.
I did make it to a Halloween party, though, and had a blast! Dime-piece and I found out about it last minute, so our costumes had minimal effort with maximum results. I made a crown out of foil and smeared make-up down my cheeks and claimed to be a drama queen (although, I probably didn't need a costume to pull that off). My boyfriend dressed in holiday gear and went as "Christmas Cheer." I think it's important to note that every. single. item. he was wearing, came from my closet. And I was FURIOUS at how loose my green corduroys were on him... FURIOUS!!!!
Book Stuff 📚
There's been some really exciting things happening with A BRUSH WITH LOVE lately!
First:
WE'RE ON BUZZFEED, BABY!!!
A BRUSH WITH LOVE was included in their list of anticipated 2022 releases! As the unapologetic Buzzfeed lover that I am, this felt like winning an Emmy. Or getting a free lunch (yes, those two things are equivalent in my mind).
ABWL comes out in ONLY 109 DAYS!!! Can you believe? That is, technically, a little less than four months away, which may seem like still a long way away, but seeing as I wrote this book at the start of 2019, 109 days is a blink!
Don't want to wait all that time? You're in luck because my lovely publisher is giving away fifty advanced copies over on Goodreads! Enter here.
I'm also attaching an exclusive excerpt of A BRUSH WITH LOVE, just click the button below to read.
I've also started copyedits for book 2 (title and cover reveal coming soooooooon). This is an exciting step and brings it closer to being absolutely finalized. At the same time, I'm finishing up my draft of my debut Young Adult novel! It's a rom-com between two neurodiverse protagonists and it owns my heart. It's been so fun to write from a younger perspective and see these two silly geese fall in love.
All in all, I've worked on four books this year which is just... wild. And I'm tired and I'm hoping to take December off from writing so I can read my lil heart out.
Music 🎼
Literally all I can think about is the ten minute ALL TOO WELL by Taylor Swift release coming out tomorrow.
TEN. MINUTE. VERSION.
It's Taylor's world, we're just living in it.
The Cats 🐈⬛
My cats love fall because the temperature is finally conducive to how hard they want to cuddle. They've been their usual standard of mischievous of late, but the biggest news with them is that they've decided they no longer like their wet food in gravy and prefer pate style. The fact that my boyfriend and I have had MULTIPLE talks about this really shows that I need more of a social life.
Thirst Trap 💦
Can we all just take a moment of silence in respect and appreciation for Henry Golding looking like he does?
I mean, my GOD, he's gorgeous. And he has a beautiful baby. And gorgeous wife. And he seems genuinely nice. I just.... wow.

And here's this awful thing:
The End 🤡
That's about it for now! Sending you all lots of love and hugs.
All my love,
