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.

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.

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.

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.
