feisty mind

Between reality and imagination, I am many things: an aspiring author, a mother, a sportswoman, an ambitious corporate professional. This is not a perfectly curated life — it’s messy (and I hope you enjoy it) — because some of us weren’t built for still waters.

Here is where I lay it all down: the questions that haunt me, the quiet truths that won’t let go, the books that change me, the words that keep me awake at night, and the worlds I long to live in.

Feisty mind. Restless soul. Always moving toward the next chapter.

  • I did it…

    …I have officially two (almost completed) books in the plotboard. The process was less than seamless, but as always in my life, I’ve discovered my exact mix between extreme organization and intuition. Meaning, the two steps back I took after half a book written (only by gut feeling), was the correct thing to do. Now

  • Frameworks are necessary

    I understand the world better when I have rules, procedures, guidelines. Anything that I can follow and understand. Embarking on this creative journey was (without a doubt) one of the more daunting things I ever decided to do. And to be honest, I was lost.After taking online courses, conducting research, and attending webinars, I still

  • Social Media

    An untapped source of knowledge and content.Apparently, from all my readings about the social media topic (because I am old and was raised before Google was even a thing), we need to build a network that includes authors, agents, editors, publishers, writers, and any other relevant parties for this endeavor. So I delved deeply into

  • Soulful Lines

    And then I sit here, in the garden of my childhood house, and I cannot tell anymore what kind of person I would be if my father were still alive.More confounding yet, I’m not sure if I could give it up for just one more day with him anymore. I used to think that; that

  • Iterative process

    The first blog introduction was clear and to the point—more about the (future) book than about me. I wrote it in 5 minutes after listening to my favorite writing podcast, and it was done. Here: Uneasy minds need to write (and read) Aspiring author, currently elbow-deep in the chaotic process of writing a book. This

  • Non-writing skills

    The only way to get it done is by doing. That also goes for the things you don’t want to do, but have to. The idea started with the notion that this book needs to sell, which means I need readers. I should work for someone, not just for my pleasure; I call it common

  • Soulful Lines

    Old objects bring me solace—small bits of memories encapsuled by hard exteriors; the hourly chime of the pendulum clock, the aluminum butter dish from my grandparents’ summer house, the ’80s coffee cups from my parents’ wedding gifts, the hundred portraits spread over all home surfaces. I like to be surrounded by it, the nostalgia, the
