Retro-Futurist Writing in Charm City

Welcome to this humble little blog! I’m excited to delve into several facets of creativity, what it looks like to exercise imagination mindfully, and my journey as a writer who started out as a little girl stapling printer pages together to make her first books.

A year and a half ago, my family moved to Charm City—Baltimore, Maryland—to pursue a ministry lifestyle with a local church. I used that year and a half to polish my current novel WIP: a science fiction story about a wife and mother who leaves her home world to save her people. My current goal is to query the novel in November/December of this year, which is really exciting! I’ve never gotten this far in the process with an original work of fiction, so I’m stoked to see what comes of it—all the lessons learned and edits made. Right now, the novel is with beta readers so I can get quality feedback and make it the best version of itself it can be.

When I’m not editing, I’m creating Pinterest boards for story inspiration, listening to artsy music (I’m currently discovering Pink Floyd for the first time), creating story playlists on Spotify, and writing the odd fanfiction story.

I’m hoping this blog will be an archive of my writing, my favorite media (I enjoy video games, manga, and reading all kinds of stories), my life as a wife and mom in Baltimore, and my writing journey in conjunction with my faith. I’ll update periodically with stories of East Coast living, author-to-be adventures, and the odd song or book recommendation.

Thanks so much for being here!
