Summer greetings, Reader~! What adventure are you in for this season? Already derailed mine a bit…lol Made it back home to the studio earlier this month and spawned a wild idea for that lunar mermaid illustration finished last month…detailed down in the Quests section. :] Cinco "helping" me unpack (I swear I didn't pack it that messy!) June creativity consisted of working some additional features and complimentary content for the upcoming vlog return along with Twitch streams of story...

Good evening, Reader~! It is STILL MAY here in Texas for a few more minutes, so…this letter made it out on time - straight up. :p Four states were traversed this month. I’ve been on the go a lot lately, am still away from the home studio, and my nervous system is making sure I reap that consequence. Lol But the beat goes on. Da-da-dom, da-dom, dah-dah~ The art of story was a big theme this past month in the mobile studio. Disney’s Dreamlight Valley has proved an effective asset in my...

Starlit greetings to you, Reader~! The letter didn’t capture it, but I’ve been sitting here in gratitude for an extended period over the opportunity to write you again. Thank you for coming along on this crazy journey - I hope you’ve been well~ Reflecting here at April’s final checkpoint, what adventures did you take on this past month? Assuming you chose some of them, while others chose you…at any point, did you find yourself resisting a situation you were/are in? I marvel at how much easier...

Spring greetings, Reader~! If you’ve figured out the secret to not adding endless undertakings to your already crammed to-do list without regret, please...please share with the class! After 1.5 years, this renewed studio practice has so far been a hefty lesson in abstaining from big shinies in the name of solidifying skills and systems that actually move the needle forward. A large reason creative projects went so slowly last year was the amount of government work I was still taking on;...

Take a deep breath, Reader, you made it through February~… and I realize I completely missed sending this out during the actual month of February. :’D There will absolutely be another letter in March, but I’m not throwing February’s letter out just ‘cause life struck! That said, this is a quick one. I spent the whole of this last month preparing for the publishing of my debut novella and not much else. That is…all day, every day - without taking time off unless my body forced me to. And it...

Reader, it's a cozy evening where I'm writing from - raining outdoors and quiet, creative work inside. This is how I like my Sundays. ✧ Hope the weekend's been good to you, too! Wanted to drop in real quick and ensure you'd get an early peek at the title, cover, and release date reveal for my debut novella. :] This passion project is finally wrapping up, and...lol I swear I don't know if I'm more excited to be getting it done, or getting ready to move on to other projects. The struggle. This...

A warm 2026 greeting to you, Reader~! Did you set any resolutions for this fresh lap around our sun? If so, what’s the one you’re most adamant about seeing to fruition? Perhaps you’re hesitant or even fully restrained from setting certain goals due to doubts and/or past disappointments. And I get it…there are some unspeakably difficult facets to perpetuating change - especially if they're life turning points. This year feels like having to start over in a lot of ways for me. With health...

Wishing you a blessed holiday season, Reader~! Even if it’s been less than desirable, are you still able to see the treasures in it? Truly…if I’m being honest, this one isn’t going nearly as I’d hoped it would. Lol To make a very long story short, I was deployed to the Middle East over the last 2.5 months, and all was going pretty darn well until my chronic illness (a form of dysautonomia) took a total nose dive toward the beginning of December. I’d been largely stable up to that point,...

November greetings, Reader~! What simplicities in life provided even the slightest lift to your day(s) this past month? Those smaller, experiential details hidden amidst the noise of our greater ambitions have been lifelines throughout my adult life. In fact, I have a whole, personal Instagram account dedicated to those kinds of treasures. Impatien watercolor done for my neighbor~ The smallest hint of joy, hope, and/or wonder can change the trajectory of a mindset, and I aspire to find those...
