Untitled i wore the shirt you left or did i take it? borrowed, only borrowed a relic a symbol a souvenir you know i hate this part the waking from you the stumbling the retreating darkness the crust of mascara around morning eyes what sweet relief to slip back into your bed under your arm… Continue reading NaPoWriMo: Day 6

NaPoWriMo: Day 2
Butterflies your breath comes ragged hot against my neck my heartbeat flies butterfly wings crashing against a cage of bone your hips move against mine the heat of your chest searing my skin the butterfly wings falter hitch i can’t breathe you roll over and with you goes so much of me the cold slips… Continue reading NaPoWriMo: Day 2
NaPoWriMo: Day 1

NaPoWriMo
This year I will attempt to participate in NaPoWriMo. "NaPoWriMo, or National Poetry Writing Month, is an annual project in which participating poets attempt to write a poem a day for the month of April." I stole that directly from the About page on their website...simple and concise. You can write any kind of poems,… Continue reading NaPoWriMo
#bookpartytime
This past Wednesday, we (me and my madre) threw a little shindig to celebrate the release of Stones. We danced, we kissed, we schmoozed, we carried on, we went home happy! Just kidding...unfortunately there was no dancing or kissing, but there was schmoozing and eating. And I went home pretty happy because my friends brought… Continue reading #bookpartytime

I was able to order one proof copy, found a pretty big formatting issue, and haven't been able to pass the updated file through the CS review system since. I've been… Continue reading EBOOK RELEASE DAY
WIPpet Wednesday: I’ve Got Nothin’
I think the title of this post is pretty self-explanatory. I have nothing new for WIPpet Wednesday because I have written nothing new on any of my WIPs. Haha. I’m so productive. Anywho, in keeping with the spirit of one of my 2015 goals (be more bloggy) I figured I’d use this space for some… Continue reading WIPpet Wednesday: I’ve Got Nothin’
EVENLIGHT Released! The Meratis Trilogy Wraps Up
Look at those covers!
Goal Setting (Or, Stuff Jessica Fails Miserably At)
I’m not ready for today to be the last day of 2014; honestly, I don’t know how the year disappeared so fast. But, since tomorrow will begin a new year, I figured a little introspection was in order. I don’t normally like to make a big hubbub about New Year’s resolutions, mainly because I don’t… Continue reading Goal Setting (Or, Stuff Jessica Fails Miserably At)
WIPpet Wednesday: Internet’s Back
So I'll start this post with a confession: I've had internet for a couple weeks now, but things kept popping up. This week, however, I reserved tonight for author-y tasks. Made some updates to the website, worked on some formatting (eeeee!), wrote a little bit on untitled book 2, decided to jump back in for… Continue reading WIPpet Wednesday: Internet’s Back
