Normally, I'd do some setup for posts such as this, but since the thought is in my head right now, we're just diving in. Enjoy. I LOVE the 'adoring mother-in-law' dynamic. (Yes, this is probably because my wife's mother is such a sweet, kind human being, and my bf's mother is so generous, compassionate, and confident. Basically, I have the best mother-in-laws, so I always love when they show up in my books, too. Also, for those of you new here, PLATONIC bestie = wife, ROMANTI

Hello all, If you're reading this, then I have officially hit 200 DAYS of writing! That's over half a year I've been actively choosing my passion over my procrastination.

Now, I'm not typically the public displays of affection via the internet type. Hell, the one and only time I made a very specific anniversary pos

This is going to be a short & sweet post because I'm too tired/busy for anything else. Due to the holiday, my work/life balance has ceased to exist. It's all work and it's all chaotic, and even when I'm not working, I have work to do. I would like a break. I would like a clean house. I would like to finish reading Jen's book, finish helping on book 2, finish writing either of the two books I'm working on, or just, y'know, SLEEP IN. That's probably the one that's making me the
