The last few weeks have been SO stressful and I've done a not so great job of keeping up with my social media, and that includes my Patreon. So consider this post a newsletter / Q&A opportunity / apology for not posting anything exciting on here recently.
I've started freelance editing and WOW is it a lot of work. I'm loving it, but I also took on a bit too much too q...
2022-09-17 18:14:21 +0000 UTC View PostThis is something I've never done before—a sneak peek at the novel I'm currently working on! This is only the first draft, so I'm sure it'll change some once I've finished writing and get into the editing process, but this is Chapter One as it currently stands. It's available only to the top few tiers of my Patreon subscribers. I hope you enjoy!
If you haven't already seen on Twitter, I've started offering freelance editing services! If you or someone you know is looking for an editor for their next book, I'd love to do a free 2,000 word sample edit to see if we would be a good fit.
I'm hoping to edit at least one book a month going forward, and I already have clients booked for August and November. I've always loved editin...
2022-08-12 13:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostHi friends! If you have any questions for me this month, leave a comment on this post! Or if you'd rather ask your questions privately, feel free to send me a message. No topic is off limits, although answering questions about writing and art would be the most fun for me :)
Hope everyone is having a great month so far!
2022-08-10 20:10:06 +0000 UTC View PostI feel like I blinked and missed the entire month of July.
As I'm typing this, I'm on my last day of dog sitting. It's been nice and relaxing having two weeks all to myself with just a couple dogs to take care of and a book to write. But it's also been a little lonely, a little boring.
I didn't make as much progress on my current work in progress as I was hoping to, but ...
2022-08-01 22:06:00 +0000 UTC View PostI wrote this piece of flash fiction (titled "See Me") a few months ago and decided that my Patreon was a great place to share it. Hope you enjoy, and thank you for your constant support in all my creative endeavors :)

2022-07-20 18:39:56 +0000 UTC View PostHi friends, I know I haven't been very good about posting on here lately. Time is just flying by and it's hard to keep track of all the things I need to get done. So here's a quick update of what I've been up to lately:
THE SELF LOVE JOURNAL
My guided journal will be available on Amazon on JULY 11th! Wow, that's coming up quick. It's over 200 pages ...
2022-07-05 20:16:20 +0000 UTC View PostYou may have noticed that I haven't written a newsletter, or posted much of anything on here, for the last couple of months.
I've been feeling kind of scattered, but also very present where it really counts. I've been focusing on the people I'm with, the friends and family around me, and I've let my professional and creative goals take a bit of a back seat.
The last few ...
2022-05-31 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostIf you've haven't yet read my debut novel, I Remember, then stop reading this and go purchase your copy right now! (Seriously, the e-book is only $4)
If you HAVE read my novel, then hopefully you'll enjoy reading through these discussion questions that I put together. Feel free to comment below with your responses and engage in discussion with other patrons, or just answer them o...

Hi everyone! I hope you're doing well. February was such a busy month for me, it absolutely flew by. The first couple of weeks were a bit rough. I started nannying my six month old niece and it was a difficult transition, but we seem to be getting the hang of things now!
It's finally starting to warm up here in Minnesota—and by warm up I mean it's been above 30 degrees the last fe...

Hi friends! One of your monthly benefits of being subscribed to my Patreon is a coloring page. You can download this PDF and either print and color or color on a device like an iPad.
I know what you might be thinking—I don't enjoy coloring, this is silly. If you're someone who hasn't doodled or colored in a coloring book since you were a kid, I highly recommend giving it a chance ...

Hello friends! One of the awesome benefits of being one of my patrons is a little monthly Q&A. In the future I may start doing these as livestreams, but for now I thought this would be the best way to do it.
So, if you have a question for me—about writing, art, or just my life in general—ask away in the comments! No question is off limits. Or if you're feeling shy, feel free...
2022-02-17 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostIf you aren't already familiar with all of my work, you may not know that last year I created a Self Love Coloring Book. It's been a big hit, and I was so thrilled with all of the positive feedback I received on it.
The other night another idea struck me, one that almost goes hand-in-hand with that coloring book. I want to create a Self Love Journal!
While the coloring b...
2022-02-15 18:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostHappy February! Normally I'll be posting these little newsletters on the first of the month, but I've been in the process of moving this past week so you're getting this one a day late.
If you don't already follow me on Twitter or Instagram then you may not know but I've temporarily moved to Minnesota for the next 3-4 months to take care of my baby niece while my sister goes back to...
2022-02-03 04:32:43 +0000 UTC View PostIf you're reading this, that means you've amazing because you've just subscribed to be one of my patrons. I'm so excited to have you here, and can't wait to continue building this page and this community.
Now that you're here, I may need your help. I'd love to make my Patreon full of content that my patrons really WANT to see. If you ever think of something you'd like to hear me tal...
2021-12-26 21:36:09 +0000 UTC View PostI've spent the last two years roaming. Trying to figure out what I want to do and what I want to be. I've come to the conclusion that I want to be and do... everything. Anything! I don't want to be confined or limited, I want to be able to always change my mind, explore, and learn.
The name "Restless, I Roam" encompasses how I feel about life. After a chunk of time doing the same th...
