Well my dental appointment ended up being bittersweet because we saw the announcement that Dolly Parton died in the middle of it 😭 And it's also my last time seeing my favorite dental hygienist before I move. Rest in peace, Dolly. #dollyparton

things I want to write but haven't been able to yet: -a fantasy much ado about nothing retelling -my fantasy swamp witch/monster rodeo idea -pirate fantasy with sea monsters and flying ships Keep it going! What are yours? #writingsky

The Unicorn Hunters was a great read! I loved the mix of historical fiction with fantasy, and the ending was fantastic. There's also a unicorn (duh) and a cat named Butter. #booksky

I started editing the WIP that I finished drafting 2 years ago. I have a ways to go, but I'm excited about this one! (Yes, it's my creepy forest, Rapunzel inspired, botanical magic fantasy novel πŸ‘ŒπŸ») #writingcommunity

This week, I emphasized self-care. I had a great workout, got a relaxing massage, and had salmon for dinner. So, of course, I had to round it up with mini homemade chocolate chip cookies, because balance!

I think this batch of matcha isn't as good as the previous one. I'm looking to upgrade just a little if anyone has any matcha powder recommendations, preferably around or under $30! #matcha

My brain is a little too fried to fully participate in Quest Pit today. Just know that I started editing my loose Rapunzel retelling and it has carnivorous deer, a forest that will try to kill you, a missing persons investigation, and some romance✌🏼 #QuestPit #F #A #R

How I feel drinking English breakfast on July 4th. Happy July 4th in a I'm glad we have AC, we're a melting pot, justice and liberty for all, freedom of speech and no more book banning kinda way! #independenceday

It may feel like 118Β°F outside (it's like walking into an actual oven) but I sat in the AC at a coffee shop, got a coconut iced matcha, and edited a chapter today! #writingcommunity

Apparently the Waterloo Root Beer Float sparkling water is limited edition, so if anyone can still find it in stock online, please let me know 😭 #waterloo #sparklingwater

I got my stitches out from my gum graft today and was able to eat pastistio, spanakopita, and I'm about to eat some peach cobbler, so I'm counting this as a win πŸ™ŒπŸΌ #thursdaythoughts
