Welcome to the
Manuscript diaries
The Memoir Chapters
Vivian doesn’t exist in the spotlight. She exists just outside of it. Close enough to see everything clearly. Close enough to understand how it all work. But far enough away that no one is really looking at her.
How I Choose My Next Book
If you look at my reading list, you might think there’s some kind of strategy behind it. There isn’t. I’m a chronic mood reader.
What I’m Reading ( & Loving)
Since I stopped writing for a while, I’ve been able to do something I’d almost forgotten how to do properly: read purely for fun. Now I’m reading the way I used to: following vibes, chasing tropes I love, and picking up books that make me think yes, this is exactly the kind of story I want right now.
Apparently, I’m in a very specific mood.
Why I Stopped Writing
After finishing my first manuscript, I stopped writing. I don’t mean that manuscript. I mean I stopped writing anything. There was no dramatic announcement, no tearful goodbye to my keyboard. I just…stopped.
Outlines begin with a vibe
If you’re here, you probably already know I write dark, romantic stories. What you might not know is that I don’t outline them the way normal people do. For me, it all begins with a vibe.
