this is a coati, a mexican raccoon! it was huge and so cute! long face and long tail. brown and grays.
i wrote a short story for 1st time in a decade? i had a week long retreat and knew it was a bad and wrong beginning. but i kept writing and finished the story there. sometimes you have to trust writing the WRONG thing before writing the right thing. this coati cutie was my trip highlight! #amwriting

my little $4.99 plant from trader joe’s bloomed while i was away on mexico retreat!! 🤩

day 2 retreat: 576 words written. slow going as i’m setting up, and it’s not even the true beginning of the story yet. so much of writing is trusting yourself and your process. 💙 i’m as intuitive as a writer as i am in life. #amwriting

a year ago today, i was stalking llamas and struggling through my YA fantasy climax (currently out on sub). i miss these llamas and think about them often. unrequited love is HARD. 😭
