November has novembered its last day and happy December, aka month of sugar, trees, long nights of overworking hours and missing those who should be here (but aren’t).

How was your November? Mine was full of:

🍂Books. I read over 40 books (which means that I needed to escape, and I did. needing to escape is not so good, but actually doing it is kind of ok, right?)

🍂Failing at nanowrimo and only just scraping by the 50k mark by adding up all the edits I did for 5 different books. Oh well. November is usually an editing month. All the good writing belongs to December. (Well, ‘good writing’ is up  for debate).

🍂Birthday London Bookshop Trip. More on that on my Newsletter, which should have gone out already, but will probably go out tomorrow (link to sub in bio, if you are curious for pics).

🍂Tears because my favoritest student in all of the world is about to graduate this winter and WHAT AM I GOING TO DO with my life now? My bear has been crying nonstop for months, and I’ve been barely holding it together. I am so proud I can’t even find the words.

🍂Writing. I did write a little, for the Red Book, which is nothing but torture (for both me and my characters -poor souls). But it is another beauty and the beast inspired novel, mixed with Anne of Green Gables. It is my favorite thing I have written so far. More on that soon!

🍂Finalizing everything for the release of Protect me on the 15th of December! Eeek! I have been preparing this book for nearly a year and now that it’s time to finish the story of Marco and Olivia I AM NOT READY! Are you? (swipe to see).

🍂Thanks. I am so thankful for every good thing in my life, for all the people who make me not regret waking up every day, and for having a space to exist in this world through my stories. I would truly be lost without them. Thank you for reading them, if you have!

Here is to another month full of His providence and love, full of books, hugs and creativity.
