So what happens when you’re not perfectly intro...

Contribute to Reverie Society!

 

Hi everyone! With Reverie Society’s birthday coming up, it got me thinking about where my blog was, how far it has come. I’m proud of that. Does it make me feel inadequate sometimes? Of course, but I try to look at the positive. It means I can only continue growing!

I’m in the middle of a lot of things right now. I know I can continue like I have been, but there are two problems:

I really want for RS to not only barely get by I’m on the verge of starting a business and I fear the content...

Things I’d like to see in YA books with latinx rep

 

Yes, I have opinions. Until I can write my own contemporary with latin characters, I’m going to keep talking about this, lol.

Behold the latinx rep wishlist!

Characters using slang from their own countries

You know how british and US people use different words for things sometimes, even though it’s all english? They have their own slang too, and so does each latin american country. Ecuador is different from Colombia, which is different from Argentina, which is different from Mexico. We al...

My novel has a title!

 

It’s weird but it’s very hard for me to talk about my writing on my blog. I don’t know why. It seems like it comes more naturally to other people, but I really have to do a conscious effort to remind myself that I should post something from time to time. Not because I think that omg everyone’s sooo interested in it. Becuase uh no? XD It’s really because once I start writing, it feels really good to do it. The problem is talking myself into writing that post.

Anyway, as I was saying, my nov...

Blogging Slumps are Normal and Necessary

 

I don’t know what to post anymore…

 

I haven’t been feeling up to blogging lately, sorry for disappearing…

 

Hiatus announcement…

Sound familiar? Blogging slumps suck, but I’ve come to learn they are necessary, at least if you plan on being in this for the long haul. To be more precise, paying attention to what your slump is telling you is what is most important.

 

Blogging slumps are necessary because they tell you… When you need a break
