📚✨First Post Feelings✨📚

Hi there! After years of lurking, dreaming, and filling draft after draft with half-finished thoughts, I'm finally starting this little bookish corner of the internet.

This blog has been in the works for ages—scribbled in notebooks, imagined during late-night reads, and quietly nurtured through countless "maybe someday" moments. I've always loved stories: the kind that wreck you, heal you, haunt you, and hug you. But I never quite found the courage to share my thoughts out loud… until now.

So here I am! Ready to ramble about books, scream about characters, overanalyze plot twists, and fall into fictional worlds with reckless abandon. Whether you're here for reviews, reading challenges, aesthetic ramblings, or chaotic bookworm energy—I'm so glad you're here.

Let's get lost in stories together. 💫

" The healthy human mind doesn't wake up thinking this is it's last day on earth, but honestly it's a luxury. A freedom to know you're close to the end. "

Ada yang hobi baca buku ? Ada yg mau diskusi bareng ? Aaa kayaknya seru ya 🥰🥰🥰

just changed my already published book covers for a fourth time

do you think your characters would be friends with you irl? honestly, i don’t think mine would be friends with me😭

only because they’ve all been friends since kindergarten — they’re a solid friend group of eight. very found family. they all prefer sticking to their circle and secretly (jokingly) get jealous whenever one of them tries to befriend someone outside the group. (it’s called friendship cheating)

which is fine because i’d totally be too scared to even try and befriend any of them anyway😭 when your own characters are too cool for you

does anyone have any tips or ideas for getting your writing out there? pls & thx it’s rough in these indie author streets🙏

kind of alarming how all the thriller/horror story ideas i’ve gotten have come from dreams/nightmares i’ve had😁 it pays to have a twisted, fucked up mind.

i’ve never written a thriller/horror story so i’m very excited to further explore the genre one day. i totally haven’t already written a few test pieces/scenes.

god, if you all could take a peek into my writing ideas folder😭 pure chaos. idk how to simply focus on one thing at a time. i’m like an overzealous dog with the writing zoomies.

not to be deep, but i can’t help but feel like i’ve somehow found my way back home when it comes to writing. i loved it when i was a kid, and i’ve fallen in love with it all over again as a young adult.

there are *so* many things that have happened in my life that make me look back and wonder if those things were meant to lead me right back here. to writing.

like for example, when i was a freshman in high school, this guy told me i looked like my name would be: Sabrina. he would literally call me by that name even though it wasn’t my name😭

fast forward years later to me naming my book characters, specifically my main character who is somewhat based on me, so i’m essentially naming myself in a weird way.

i was thinking and thinking and thinking, and then i remembered that guy from high school who’d call me Sabrina. and voila, i had her name. and it fits her so well too!

idk maybe i’m crazy haha but it really is things like that that make me wonder if maybe i am where i’m meant to be after all, no matter how much i feel otherwise sometimes.

shoutout to brandon from high school for my mc name!!!

i’m surprised by how much i *love* writing in third person considering how much i used to dislike reading in third person.

finding my love for writing again has made me appreciate third person writing so much more!!!

third person chapters have become like an exclusive, special pov in my series since 90% of the chapters i write are in the first person pov.

what can i say, i love playing with/switching up pov’s mid story😄 whether it’s including multiple character pov’s in one book or surprising the readers by randomly jumping into a third person pov.

like you know it’s serious if you stumble across a third person pov in one of my books😭 shit is about to go down fr

literally me 75% of the time i write

is this a safe space? i hate writing sex scenes.

that’s like the one thing i try my hardest to include very little of. but it’s hard bc i know some people enjoy reading those scenes when it comes to romance stories specifically, (which is completely fine! no judgement whatsoever!) i just hate writing them😭

i much prefer alluding to it or transitioning into a scene break/cut. but like i said, i know some readers enjoy reading those moments so i force myself to include some crumbs of it. which is fine, i guess. i’ll survive how awkward i feel, no big deal

do any other writers try their hardest to convince themselves they don’t have a favorite character to write or am i the only one burdened by the anchors of denialism

(but if anyone asks, i love all my children equally)

is it bad that one of my favorite characters i’ve written so far just so happens to be one of the most “villainous”?

i use quotations because she’s not necessarily a bad person, she’s just made a lot of awful choices that have led to awful circumstances for her and those around her.

she’s also someone who’s been through a lot. she has a good heart through and through, but i can definitely see some readers disliking her, which is fine!

it’s exactly what i want, actually. i want her to be a character people have mixed feelings about. i want her to be a character you either hate to love, love to hate, or somewhere in between.

funniest part is she was only supposed to be a side character aka the mother of one of my character’s😭

now she’s become my little phoenix rising from the ashes as the catalyst for the biggest scandal in my book series.

the main character before my current main character was the main character. she paved the way fr i cannot wait to write her prologue book one day!

yk what’s crazy is before i found my love for writing again, i used to read books (romance books specifically) and think to myself:

“wow, authors/writers are some of the most creative people out there. to create an entire ensemble of characters and give them such distinct personalities/backgrounds/upbringings, and to create an entire world of storylines for them is truly something magical.”

i used to wish i could do that. i never thought myself capable of such creativity. i used to wish i could be capable of creating an ensemble of characters i could write and have fun with. a fictional world i could create and find some escape in, and now i do.

i love the little world of characters i’ve created so much. can confirm: it is truly magical✨

oh and happy late new year💛☺️☀️

just accidentally stumbled upon so many prologue story ideas for the parents of my characters in the current book series i’m writing.

and it ties in so well UGH i’m gonna have a writing orga*m!!!!!

as discouraging as it can be writing to an audience of zero, i’m so locked in atp, idec anymore😭 delusion is my feul

i LOVE my characters and the little universe i created in my head sm, each of their books WILL be written and finished even if i’m the only one who knows of their existence!

i feel like i not only owe it to myself to see it through, but to my characters and their stories. they’re like my children, i can’t just abandon them because no one else is seeing their potential like i do?????

what kind of mother would that make me

i’ve never trusted my heart and ~gone with the flow~ more than i do with writing.

idk if this makes me an unhinged or ~irresponsible writer~ but i have never enjoyed the idea of outlining my work. something about it makes my writing feel so caged and limited and i HATE it!!!

obviously you can always simply go off script and change whatever the hell u want, but i still refuse to completely plan out every. single. thing. in some overly detailed outline. (and that’s just me, i’m not knocking anyone who does!!!)

of course i write down important plot points and key notes to incorporate and remember but other than that, i’m a big believer in “sharing” control with my characters.

sure i have solid ideas of how i want a story to pan out, but if the story just so happens to take me elsewhere in a spur of the moment manner, i’m all for it!

shameless chaotic writer here👋🏼

“She’s looking around the blanket in disbelief, and I’m a little in disbelief myself for a second.

Mother nature seems to love her just as much as I do because the sky is now the prettiest shade of pink and orange, like she’s the sun the sky is choosing to set behind.”

“She stands out in a way no rambunctious crowd or stuffy room could hold back.

She is the room.

She’s the diamond chandelier people awe at.”

“I’ve never felt so safe with someone the way I do with Sam. When I’m in his arms, I feel like there’s nothing in this world that can hurt me.

Because he would never let anything in this world hurt me.

Because this is exactly where I’m supposed to be.

Because when I’m in his arms, I feel like I’m home.”

one of my fav parts about writing is that moment in the story where everything just comes together like pieces to a puzzle.

and it’s even better when it wasn’t even PLANNED. when you didn’t even know you were putting a “puzzle” together, so to speak, and then suddenly you’re like: omg there it is! a beautiful puzzle!

when you just trust the story and your characters to take you where they’re supposed to take you and they do!

one of the most satisfying feelings ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I punch the gas out of the neighborhood I’m in and drive us to the nearest fast-food place, our open windows blaring Joan Jett the whole way there.

To hell with it all.

As long as I have her, I’ll gladly burn alive.”

“That’s the thing with Sam, I don’t need words. I never need words from him because his actions speak loud enough. They do all the talking for him, they always have.”

“His love shines into me and lights me up with just one single glance, no words necessary.”

if you’re a fan of romance dramas that contain relatable topics but with a much needed healthy balance of comedic relief, love, and friendship, please give my book a chance<3

it is a romance drama book series that follows the lives and love stories of eight childhood best friends. tropes and dynamics range from:

grumpy x sunshine, i hate everyone but you, four core female group, brother’s best friend, secret relationships, small town romance, found family, childhood best friends to lovers, it’ll always be/it’ll never be you, sapphic romance, slow burn romance, forbidden romance, one bed trope, and more!

this is my first time tackling a fictional universe and characters like this as a self-published indie author. it’s been the most fun, fictional adventurous learning experience ever<3

i’ve always loved romance and writing. i love creating characters. i love being able to give them a story, name, personality, etc. not to sound dramatic, but it’s truly the most magical experience.

i just finished the second novel which should be out before the end of this year🧡🧁🦋🌙

Love to see me reaching for re-reads for comfort and not being able to focus on reading a physical version... o.o On re-read, I want to rate both Harrow the Ninth and Nona the Ninth as 5 star reads because I got so much out of this read. Plus Moira Quirk is FANTASTIC narrator. Her performance added so much depth to the books.
