Right now, I'm scared to say I've been writing my fantasy book since 2016. I realize I wasn't a teenager then, but now saying you've been writing the book for nearly 10 years falls flat. Because it doesn't matter how long you've been writing, just that it's good.

Do people know who I am? Nope, not even a little. Do I hope someday someone stumbles across my books and loves them? Absolutely. Until then, I keep writing. Even if no one reads them. #lesfic #sapphic

Did you know if you write a book, set in the future with an alternate timeline from Earth it's considered Sci-Fi? And did you know if it's romance driven it's also considered a romance? Me either, but that's what I just wrote a Sapphic Sci-Fi Romance that is 116k!!! I need a nap. #sapphicbooks

Have I been absent from social media this last week because I've been feelings like a failure and fighting impostor syndrome hard? Yes. Am I still trying to write each day even when I feel no one will read any of my books? Also, yes. Even though I struggle, I still write. It's just harder.

Welp, this is not the finalized order, but I have them all separated. All 26 Sapphic Fairytale Retellings. And yes, some fall for the villain. You'll just have to wait and see which one does. Can you guess which title goes with which fairytale? #fairytaleretelling #sapphicromance #spicyromance

Not sure why people are trying to make queerness a trope again but here we are. But if they are going to make my existence a trope I'll start putting 'straight characters' in my trigger list. Fair is fair. #indieauthor #queer #lgbtbooks #trope #trigger

Hard lessons I have learned. Not matter how many times you and your editor look at the book, you will miss errors. And having people kind enough to let you know so you can fix them is invaluable as an indie author. #indieauthor #selfpublished #author
