Anybody else feel like they are living in a dystopian novel all of a sudden?

Losing TikTok feels like someone cut the mic right when I found my voice. It wasn’t just an app—it was a space where I finally recognized myself. Now, I’m just standing here, heartbroken, trying to be heard again.

There’s just something about a hero who makes it clear you’re his—I can’t get enough of it. 🥰

You want them to believe in you but you don’t even believe in you 🖤💋

Being a Scorpio means I’m to secretive for social media 😭

We listen and don’t judge. My mom had me watch 50 Shades of grey (me her and my dad) she thought it was a thriller. It was awkward to say the least 😂😂😂

Yes, it was a masterful book—and yes, it featured blue aliens. 🖤💋 #alienromancebooks #romancebooks #bookish

I wanted to love you freely, never imagining it would feel like a trespass. You ask me to prove your worthiness, but I can’t splinter my soul just to mend your fractures 🖤💋

If it rattles everyone so much when a woman truly loves herself, isn’t that exactly why we should love ourselves out loud? 🖤💋

I can’t help but wonder—am I scared to tell these stories because I have to realize they make me who I am or because once I write them, I have to admit I’ve been running from them this whole time.

I’m putting in my order with the universe: a great cup of coffee, a pen that doesn’t judge, and a view that lets me breathe. Maybe that’s all I need.

I couldn’t help but wonder: if society’s so hooked on rules, why not break every single one? Write like it’s the last story you’ll ever tell—raw, reckless, and unapologetically you. 🖤💋

So, we in a whole new era of annotation and nobody told me? Time to step up my artistic game!

My writing process is usually: a) I got this b) well, fuck c) wait that part was real good d) wait no that part sucks e) I am a god of this place f) the fuck is this shit, who do I think I am, why am I here g) oh man I just figured it all out h) mistakes were made I) existential dread

It starts with a cover that catches my eye and a synopsis that reels me in. A relatable/funny dedication pulls me closer. One great first line, & I’m gone headfirst into a world I never want to leave. By the end, I’m both full and empty. I’ve gained and lost something all at once. #books #reading

Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant. 

If you use your library, please share.

Just finished #HockeyLife by @authordarlenec.bsky.social—a Black romance where a hockey player and a influencer roast each other into a love story. She gives bad critique on his game and he claps back. Petty, flirty, and spicy. Rivals to lovers, mutual pining. #BlackBlueSky #BlackRomanceBooks

Writing tip: If you’re writing a book but have no clue what to title it: Don’t stress. Titles are like epiphanies—they show up when you least expect them. Mine arrived mid-shower, somewhere between conditioner and contemplating my entire life’s choices. #writingabook #writing

Writing romance is like the adult equivalent of when we would make our Barbies kiss.

You wronged me and thought you’d have the last word, but I stole a piece of you, tucked it into my story, and bound the truth between the pages. If I’m not the villain, and it’s you? Consider yourself lucky.

Am I the only one wandering around this app like a lost tourist? I had the bird app too…but let’s be for real, I never knew what I was doing there either.

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.
