Just Breathe

January 24, 2023January 23, 2023 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

Breathe. When you’ve done so much but it never feels like you’ve done enough. When your head is spinning as you’re standing still. When you’re living to do and not living to live. Breathe. When the lists get longer and longer. When you feel smaller and smaller. When you don’t know where the tasks start … Continue reading Just Breathe

A Clean Slate

January 2, 2023 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

From purchasing our first house to making it a home, this past year has been more than frenzied. But I’m so excited to start this clean slate of a new year getting back into the things that I love, and this post will be a friendly reminder to myself as the year goes on.That’s what … Continue reading A Clean Slate

I Have Huge News!!!

December 6, 2022December 6, 2022 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

Life has been wonderfully busy these past few months and even before then – but definitely these past few months. In a previous blog post, I spoke about the busy months I was having. And so the busyness continued to the point where my personal writing, reading and vlogging fell to the wayside. But I'm … Continue reading I Have Huge News!!!

Life & All Things Home Decor

August 24, 2022 ~ heyujas ~ 1 Comment

Saying the past few months have been eventful would be an understatement. Life. It can pass you by so quickly. Fall isn’t here just yet, but advertisers are already flooding my social media feeds with talk of the upcoming season. I will admit, I am excited to watch all my favorite harvest flicks – but … Continue reading Life & All Things Home Decor

How I Wrote My Young Adult Novel

June 10, 2022 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

On June 28th, I didn’t know what I had envisioned being a short story would turn into my second novel. After I fell in love with my main characters, I knew that the story must continue. And it did. I planned to discovery write along the way and learn more about my characters as time … Continue reading How I Wrote My Young Adult Novel

The End Is In Sight

April 18, 2022April 18, 2022 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

This month is Camp NaNoWriMo, which happens in April and July. It’s a less intense version of NaNoWriMo, where us writers come together to work on any writing project we want. This is my first time participating, and so far so good. My loose goal (I say loose because while it would be great to … Continue reading The End Is In Sight

I’m All In

January 24, 2022 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

As a twenty-something-year-old, I question myself more than I ever did when I was little. As hard as I try to be all in with every aspect of my life, it's easy for my mind to get infiltrated by doubt and fear. It is then that I find one foot all in and the other … Continue reading I’m All In

Week Two NanoWriMo Wrap Up

November 16, 2021 ~ heyujas ~ Leave a comment

It feels like National Novel Writing Month flew by because it's halfway through. The last time I spoke to you, the manuscript was around 25,000 words. Now, it's at roughly 32,000 words. I started Nano with a 19,000-word manuscript, which means I've added 13,000 words in just two weeks. I'm super proud of myself for … Continue reading Week Two NanoWriMo Wrap Up

At the start of the first week of NanoWriMo, my YA Contemporary novel was sitting at about 19,000 words. Now at the end of the week, my manuscript has 25,000 words. I'm 2,000 words shy of where I wanted to be by now, but I'm happy with the progress I have made. I'm in the … Continue reading Week One NanoWriMo 2021 Wrap Up

Merry Christmas from our quirky little family! 🎄👩🏾‍🤝‍👨🏽🐽🐕
We Bought A House & Got A Puppy?! 🏡🐕 I still can’t believe it! Life has sure been eventful, and I love it! Thank you, honey, for living this wacky 🤪 life with me. I love you soooooo much! 🤗😚☺️
Hubby, you make my life sweeter, funnier and more fulfilled than I ever could’ve imagined. God created a masterpiece that is you on this day, and I am eternally grateful for it! I love you I love you I love you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!🤗🥳🤗🥳🤗🥳 #itsyourbirthday
Babe 🥰, to call you my own has been the greatest gift I have been given in this life. Selfless. Compassionate. Noble. These are just a few things
Summertime Camera Roll 🎥☀️🍉☺️ #summervibes #summer2022
I did it! 🥳 The first draft of my second novel is complete! Wow! I started this YA Contemporary novel on June 28th, 2021, and it’s now fully drafted on May 28th, 2022 (exactly 11 months since then). I didn’t plan that, but that’s so incredible considering the years it took me to write my first book. While my first book is my baby and will always have a special place in my heart, I am so excited for where my second book will go. So now, here’s where the hard work starts. But like I said when I got to 50,000 words, I want to remember this moment. On this day, my second novel is fully drafted at over 72,000 words, and I couldn’t be more proud of myself for it! If you would like to be a #betareader (someone who can look over my work and give me input), please don’t hesitate to DM me! #writingcommunity #amwriting #ya
