Dear Jayda,

Those “imperfections” that you can’t seem to fix, add depth, character, and soul to your storytelling. They show your skill at the moment and your potential for growth. We all start somewhere, and our writing journeys are filled with twists, turns, and more than a few rough drafts. It is very possible something you loved writing today, you will hate tomorrow and vice versa. But you know what? That’s all part of the magic! There are things Lin-Manuel Miranda would change about Hamilton. Get your work to as close as perfect as you can but don’t let the imperfections stop you from putting it out into the world. Perfection is overrated, but passion? That’s where the real magic happens. Don’t be afraid to let your words flow, to embrace the quirks and imperfections that make your writing uniquely yours. There is such thing as perfect for now.

🎉 Gratitude Overflowing! 🙏 Huge thanks to @grahamparkms for inviting me to be a guest author before their spring break! 📚✨ It was an absolute joy sharing stories, laughter, and inspiration with your incredible students. 💫 Their enthusiasm and curiosity lit up the room, and I’m truly honored to have been a part of their learning journey. 🌟 Here’s to many more adventures in the world of literature! 🚀

I reached out to this amazing artist on Fiverr, and boy, did they deliver! I asked them to work their magic and bring Audrey, one of my characters, to life in their own unique style. And let me tell you, the result was pure magic!

Audrey practically jumped off the page with her vibrant colors, quirky features, and undeniable charm. The artist's creativity knew no bounds as they infused Audrey with personality and flair, making her truly come alive in a way I never imagined.

Yes, a lot has changed since 2014, but a lot has stayed the same. Amongst everything, my chosen family has stayed the same and it always will. I was proud of Manny then, and proud of him now as he matched into residency! Congratulations to the Dr. on page 22!

In an effort to break the childhood misconception that the moon is made of cheese, I have started writing a book where Yonka believes the moon is made of cheese and slowly learns it is not when he tries to eat it. Any title suggestions?

Making the book rhyme (even with industry vocab) was not an accident!
