THE EVERYDAY DISNEY VILLAIN ERA: Episode 1-Maybe I Can Relate to Maleficent
Welcome to The Everyday Disney Villain Era, where your life is less “hero’s journey” and more “mildly inconvenienced sorceress with a flair for ambiance.” This is not about being evil.

There are moments in cultural history when the collective vibe shifts from “we can fix this” to “absolutely not, I’m done.” The early 20th century was one long, dramatic eye roll.

COLOR CRUSH SERIES: TERRACOTTA
Terracotta showed up in my week like a calm older sister who’s seen some things. She didn’t knock, she just let herself in, sat on my counter, and said, “Babe… breathe.” And honestly? I needed that. There’s something about this color that feels ancient in the best way, like it remembers who you were before…
Killer Heels Saturdays — Chapter Five: Character Development “Building a Cast With Bite, Boundaries, and Big Main Character Energy”
There comes a moment in every book draft where your characters are no longer just names in a Google Doc and you begin to realize they’re roommates in your brain. They have opinions. They have emotional allergies. They have better boundaries than you on a Tuesday afternoon. And suddenly, you’re not just writing a story….
Color Crush Series: Charcoal
Charcoal is the color of containment. A color of clarity and says, “I’m here to protect my peace.” In a world that often demands sparkle and speed, charcoal is the visual pause. It’s the shade that says, “I’m not available for the chaos, but I am available for the truth.” Charcoal is the scaffolding behind…

There comes a moment in every writer’s life when you look at your cute little premise, your shiny protagonist, your Pinterest board full of vibes, and you whisper, “Okay… but what actually happens?” Welcome to Plotting in Lipstick, the chapter where I finally admit that a book is not, in fact, a 300‑page mood board….
