Hi, hello, how are you? It’s been a hot minute since we last spoke. Almost a month. Totally not my intention. Life often carries me away and then I neglect the things I really want to do.
But today, I want to share with you something I’m very excited about.
My current wip (work in progress)!!
Before I dive in, I will be revealing the tentative title of my book. ****DISCLAIMER**** This title is SUBJECT TO CHANGE! I am someone who has a hard time making up her ever-changing mind. This title is one I am vibing with right now. But that doesn’t mean it’s final. But I can’t keep calling it my current wip. That doesn’t give it much.
Okay, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let me share with you all the details.

Extra Notes
If you’re an MBTI nerd like I am, these are very tentative MBTI personalities for my characters. I didn’t take the test for all of them just because that takes so much time. I used a chart on Pinterest. However, I think the more I write these characters, the more in tune I will be with their characters.
So when my book is out and you read it and you come back to this and think the MBTI doesn’t match, it might not. But this is all the drafting process!!
I can’t wait to reveal more about this book. I have posts planned for the aesthetics, the plot, the blurb, ALL OF THE THINGS!
But for now, thank you for meeting my characters. I’m so excited for this book to be complete. There’s so much more where this came from.
