Here we go!

How in the world is it the end of May already?!
I guess time flies while you’re having fun, huh?

May started with family stuff. The kiddo wanted to make “very berry” macarons, so we did that. Overall, it was less successful than the last baking adventure, but they got to try a lot of new things and did good work despite feeling quite nauseous from their sleep schedule being thrown off.

The next week was Mother’s Day and two of my closest friends’ birthdays. It’s a special weekend to get to both celebrate two people who make such a positive impact in my life and get spoiled by my spouse and kiddo. We did all my favorite things and ate all my favorite foods. It was incredible.

The third week was a comic con, which I always do well at, and SURPRISE, my fourth book, came in and was ready to go!!! We got our ARC team all set up, we handed out surprise copies, we bonded with our people (patrons and vendors alike), we met new friends, and the kiddo even cosplayed as Michael Afton. 💕
10/10. It was a really fulfilling day and a good day to be an author.

Last but not least is the weekend I’m writing this: Memorial Day weekend.
It is hard to find the downside of being comfy by a fire listening to my child giggle in a tent that they’ve made their own personal hideout (a thing I was a HUGE fan of doing around their age).
It’s been a weekend of nature and accomplishment.
I had to transcribe a 230-page piece of work for my next WIP. I finished that early Saturday morning.
I nailed down all the names and origins for my next book today itself.
I got to finish an amazing audiobook this weekend with a friend. I went to a loved one’s baptism/1st birthday and shared an amazing meal with our close friends. The weather has been gorgeous. The birds, frogs, and crickets are wonderful.
I feel whole.

Not to mention, my weekly writing sessions with a very dear friend have been a thriving success for my mind and our walks are good for my health too (no matter how challenging it has tried to be lately).

Life is good. I have such a healthy tribe. We are all killing it. My 4th book launches next month, my 5th book has a solid pair of legs underneath it, and book 1 was just at #13.

Bring on summer. 💕☀️
