Why hello!!

Wednesday, August 17, 2050

So now that I have published a book, I feel like I am trying to merge two identities, and things might get a little confusing. So I want to have this post explain a little bit about what is going on for any new travelers to the squeaky world of Jess and Paula.

My name is Jessica Smith. I publish under a pen name of Paula Jean Ferri. The two names are interchangeable in my mind though. While I was born as Jessica, around the age of 17, I developed a new lifelong friend, who I affectionately call Paula. Her name is a little more searchable than mine is. Besides, I probably wouldn't have had anything to write about without her, so she became the author.

Feel free to wander the blog and discover a little more about Paula's antics. I am also on Medium writing as often as I can between my three outlets (books, blog and Medium). I would LOVE to hear more about you and any questions you may have. Please send an email to Paulajeanferri@gmail.com.

Last, but CERTAINLY not least... I can't thank you enough for visiting!! I LOVE that you are here and hope to see more of you! Be sure to keep up to date on my website:

What Do YOU Want?

Saturday, March 7, 2026

Hey there friend. I've noticed that as of late, I have mostly been using this blog almost like a journal than actual information or anything that would be useful to you as a reader. Which isn't really good for much. I have my own journal to actually record things and work things out. 

I want this to be something that I am able to not only keep you informed, but something that you find interesting as well. So I'm thinking I'll be including more BTS content, as well as inside information as to the characters, research I'm doing, etc.

I feel like it would be a step in the right direction, but I don't KNOW that it is what you want.

So I'll be shifting more that direction, but if there is anything that you would like more information on, please either comment or send an email to paula@paulajeanferri.com and let me know what kind of stuff you would like to be reading about here.

Slow Down to Speed Up

Friday, February 27, 2026

This week has been really insightful for me. I've been dealing with some health issues for a while and at the beginning of the month, finally started looking at solutions. This week things feel like they are finally clicking into place. I won't go into too much detail, but know that while this week was not my "best" week in regards to productivity, I have learned a ton and am really excited about things going forward in this area.

Fortunately, I'm also one to take what I'm given and make it a positive. So while I have been resting, I have also been reading and studying. I have learned some incredible things about the French Revolution this week. Which means I'm making progress on what I want my next book to look like as it takes shape. I have also had several meetings with people who are helping me along this journey to become a full time author.

The only down side was today I received an email that I was hoping to have a different outcome for. I had applied to be a speaker for the TAA and speak about the history of Tourette syndrome, but was passed over this year. Next year, however, I will have more professional speaking gigs under my belt and I will try again. 

So while I wasn't thrilled with the news, I am now looking at another opportunity that would have taken place the same week. Hopefully, that will work out for me and I'm excited about that opportunity as well.

But I do love that as I have slowed down and done more planning and organizing this week, things look like they will continue to speed up and improve. Having the health tools will also make a huge difference and I am so grateful!

Two Weeks Worth of Growth

Friday, February 20, 2026

Hey there friends. I missed a week. Last weekend got busy and it didn't stop all week. But I made it! I'm here! I'm still alive and kicking. 

More than that, I'm doing.

It's been a thrilling week for me watching how quickly things are starting to progress. While I am still technically "unemployed" from a traditional job, I have been making waves as an author. It is amazing the difference that happens when suddenly you don't have the safety net of a steady paycheck.

I am currently scheduled for 2.5 presentations (the half not being confirmed, but there are also 2 of those), as well as at least 2 book signings in book stores. I currently have a plan to send emails to bookstores all across the state of Wyoming with a one sheet explaining my book and why it matters so they buy some and put it in their store.

Once I finish with Wyoming as a local author, I will expand and send to stores across the state of Utah, Montana, Nevada, Colorado, Idaho, etc., slowly expanding my radius as I go.

On my one sheet, I mention that I am available for events in person or digitally, which will hopefully further fill my schedule. 

I also started working on turning Madamn into an audiobook!

Even bigger, I am currently working to expand my clientele for my publishing house, working with a few potential clients. 

The amount of growth that I have had over the past week has been phenomenal and I can't wait to share things with you as we actually have more things to announce and new books coming out.

Don't worry, even with all of these additional projects, I am making sure I am still setting aside time for researching my next book and getting an outline together. My next novel will not be out until 2027 at this rate. However, I am considering another foray into nonfiction and finishing a book I had an idea for several years ago that took a backseat to Madamn

So there might still be a book from Paula Jean Ferri this year. unless I can convince my husband to finish his children's book this year. 

Regardless, there are certainly big, big things in store and I can't wait to show you what's next!

Why I Do What I Do

Saturday, February 7, 2026

In case you haven't been following along every week, as a recap, I am currently unemployed and trying to make a go of being an author full time. I am currently writing this in between customers at a local craft fair.

I always love doing these events because they are simply fun. I love the people I meet and getting to share about my book. The income helps, too.

My absolute favorite part is when I occasionally get reminders of why I do this. Why I write, why I speak, why I shamelessly promote myself and my books...

Last night at the craft fair, it was pretty slow. I was selling a few quill pens, but no books. Until near the end of the show. A young woman came up to my book because she saw books and loves to read. But as I mentioned what I write about and that I have Tourette syndrome, she shared that she also has TS. In fact, she had never met another woman with it.

We talked for quite a while about books, about tics, about getting a diagnosis, not to mention a few squirrels because we are both easily distracted. We shared a few hugs and after she bought a few of my books, she started to tear up and told me I had changed her life. Which of course made me tear up. 

She didn't even read any of my books yet, but she already says I have impacted her entire life knowing she wasn't alone.

And that makes it all worth it. 

New Tic Alert!

Friday, January 30, 2026

Story time! It's not often I get to do these anymore, even though this is originally why I started the blog. I wanted to record and remember fun stories about my Tourette syndrome. But apparently, Paula and I have found a groove and lately I don't seem to notice them as much.

But new tics are certainly memorable. 

My husband and I have been binge watching the original Addams Family TV show from the 60's, which has been so much fun. And one of the most fun parts of my Tourette syndrome is the fact that I have echolalia and tend to repeat sounds that I hear. Especially if they are frequent. 

Like certain characters on the Addams Family, namely, Cousin Itt.

Which has also sparked something new. Paula has often had control over my mouth and the noises coming out of it, but in order to imitate this particular sound, she has suddenly taken control of my tongue. Which is a really weird feeling. 

Anyway, today is short and sweet, but I wanted to at least record this new phenomenon and share the hilarity of it. 

Writing and Cleaning and Speaking

Friday, January 16, 2026

What a week! There has been a lot going on this week. Some of it book related, some of it not. Almost all of it so, so good. The hard part is I'm not actually able to talk about many of these opportunities yet, since they aren't confirmed or finalized, but life is shaping up for an awesome 2026!

One thing I CAN share, my husband and I rearranged our living room and I'm LOVING the new set up. Now if we could just do the same thing to every room in our home. That might take a while though. 

I CAN also share that I get to be a keynote speaker at this year's RomCon in Ogden, UT at the end of March! The theme is Time and Place, so I get to speak about the Regency era and events that were going on in other parts of the world! Title of the presentation forthcoming. I'm working on that alongside working on my new novel!

Currently, I am mostly in the research phase of this new project. I'm beginning to get a rough outline in my head as I read and study, so all things considered, it's coming along nicely!

Slightly unrelated, this week has been the first week where I have been consistent with my working out, even if it is every other day, it's consistent and I'm quite happy with myself and how much it has changed my energy levels and excitement about all of the projects.

But with other large things in the pipeline with the potential to go really well, I will hopefully have more news for you soon!

The First Week of 2026

Friday, January 9, 2026

Hello my friends! We have just concluded the first week of 2026. I'm feeling really good about how this year is shaping up already! My trip home was incredibly successful and really helped me as I journaled through some things this morning. It's nice to have evidence that my books can and will sell. I've been getting so many sweet text messages, dm's on socials, and general reviews that are just wonderful.

I'm now home and unpacking and cleaning things out as I bring in new books for research. I should be looking for a new part time job, but I just can't seem to make myself do it. I'm HOPING that means that the awesome sales streak I just had will continue; not just continue, but increase and I won't need one.

I am convinced that 2026 is the year I get to step into being a full time author. Which means that I will need to get another book or two out this year. I have other options, like my Reader's Escape and various merch I have created to help supplement my income, but it is actually completely doable. I'm also at a point where I think that the Paris Escape might need to be actually scheduled and and spaces sold. I'm thinking 2027 for Paris. 

This has been an unusual beginning of the new year for me. I feel like I have been mostly resting, relaxing, plotting, and planning. It might actually be my favorite new year yet. The rest has been needed and the timing for everything just seems to be working together so well. I am so excited to see the results and to see where I am at as I ring in 2027. 

I know that every time I journal, I get a bit of a thrill writing "2026" in the date and the momentum I feel continues to build. I finished the year with 250 copies of Madamn sold and am currently sitting at 266. With four other books already available and more to come, this is really just the start of something big. I'm so glad you are along for the ride!

Off to a Great Start for 2026!

Friday, January 2, 2026

I made it back to Friday! Now that the holidays are over and my schedule is slowly returning to normal, I'm getting back to more consistency in my habits. Which I very much need! I am getting very excited about the coming year and look forward to some big things that are happening. 

I have been asked to speak at this year's RomCon in Ogden, UT at the end of March and am working on possibly a few other speaking engagements to promote Madamn. I managed to sell 250 books by the end of 2025, and sold 4 more New Year's Day. I am hoping this trend continues!

For 2026, I want to make a few changes in my life. I want to relax more than stress about what is going on in my business, and focusing on doing the parts that I love. luckily for me, there are a lot of things I love about my chosen career and I am looking forward to doing more speaking and writing. I even actually enjoy the social media promotion and doing reels, and doing live events. 

Meaning I am headed into a year that is just going to make me so happy. 

You know what else makes me happy? Every time that I have deposited money into the bank, I receive more. Which allows me to do more of the things I love. More promotion, more writing, etc. My hometown has been so very supportive, as well as a few others. I am thrilled to be starting the year off so well and I look forward to the many opportunities it holds.

Sales Recap!

Wednesday, December 31, 2025

When I launched Madamn on September 22, 2025, there were 100 days left in the year. I set an impossible goal of selling 1,000 copies by the end of the year. Which I did not even come close to hitting. However, last night I did a book signing in my home town. 

I have had three book signings before and all three were a bit of a flop. The first was in 2018; I only had my first two nonfiction books and I had no idea how to promote or create an event. I had two people show up and sold a few books.

The second and third event I had launched Madamn, and I did signings at the library in Lander and Riverton in Wyoming. Both of which also only had 2 people and I sold a few books at each. 

However, at this last book signing, there were EIGHT people and I sold thirteen books. So things are growing and improving! Slowly, it is true, but it is improving. 

Which also puts my tally currently at 250 books sold in 2025. There is a chance I can possibly sell more today, but if not, I'm very happy with how things are ending for the year. I still plan on tallying my book sales to see how long it takes me to get to 1,000 copies sold, and am excited to see how quickly this book continues to build momentum for my career. 

Considering how big of a goal that 1,000 really was, I am quite pleased with how things played out, and I am still so very grateful to have hit 25% of that initial number.

Thank you, 2025

Hey friends. I can't tell you how thankful I am that you are here. 2025 has been good to me and I'm feeling so many things as we close the year and open a new one. 

My two biggest highlights that I am proud of was finally publishing my debut novel, Madamn, and leaving a terrible and borderline abusive job. These two things alone have changed my life SO much and in just the second half of the year.

These two things are still shaping my life, truth be told and I am so excited to see where this goes. For the first time since I started publishing in 2016, I am getting enough income to cover all of my business bills. Meaning I finally have stopped paying out of pocket and pouring money into my business. 

I am still a long ways from the actual "break even" point of what I have put into this novel, but the fact that it is paying for itself and the payments I make each month is saying a lot.

Today I even made my last payment to my editor and cover designer!

Oh! Also noteworthy, I paid off my student loans this year!

In case you couldn't tell, financials has been a huge focus of mine for a while now. It's such a breath of fresh air to not feel like I am drowning in monthly payments, especially since I am no longer working a full time job. It got rough there for a minute, but things are certainly turning around. 

As things continue to improve financially, I am working towards stepping into being an author full time. Between the 5 books I have published, additional books being written, reading retreats, and merch, I have a lot of potential for income. I might even be willing to step into helping others to publish as a publishing house.

I have been talking about this idea for years. I haven't actually moved forward because it's a scary and big jump. In the past, I have also always had limited time as I have worked odd jobs, full time and part time. However, with my part time job that just ended, I might jump in with both feet. I'm starting fairly small at first, but there are a few people I'm talking to about this possibility. 

I will also continue to apply for grants until I can actually receive much needed funding to keep this business fully afloat. One way or another, this is the year I fully step into my chosen career. 

Which is why I am so grateful for the steps I took towards freedom in 2025. My employment, my novel, and paying off my student loans has set things up for an incredible year next year and I can't wait to see what happens.

Endings and Begnnings

Monday, December 22, 2025

I'm a bit late on my Friday post again. last week had a lot going on. Friday was my last day at the Outpost. And since they have everything on sale it was busy. After work I jumped right into a craft fair, which was also busy. It didn't result in as many sales as I would have liked, but we did finally pass the 200 mark for copies of Madamn sold!

I have one more in person event before the end of the year in my hometown. While I don't think I will sell 800 copies, I am grateful I decided to increase my goal from the simple 100 books by the end of the year. It's been a thrill to watch all of the sale numbers and to be learning and growing so much since the launch. 

With any luck, I would love to sell another 50 copies before the end of the year. That would allow me to at least make it to 25% of the original goal, which feels both doable and a great milestone. I just love nice, round numbers like that, they are so satisfying!

Also exciting, Madamn continues to get great reviews. I had someone stop me in the street last week to say how much they were enjoying my book, and at the craft fair, I had no less than 3 people stop and say they haven't finished it yet, but they are just so impressed with how well it is written. I can't tell you how much that means to small indie authors.

If you have a book you enjoy, please reach out to the author and let them know. Writing can be a lonely business and you can really get into your own head with questions and self doubt. We live for little comments like these. Even more so when they are shared with others. 

Anywho, since I'm no longer at the Outpost and unable to holiday travel today (gotta love Wyoming weather), I plan to finally get started writing a few scenes for my next novel, so I'm going to switch gears. But I will try to get in a couple more posts before the end of the year so you know where we end!

Where We Stand on Goals

Friday, December 12, 2025

What a week! I've been sick this week and am about 85-90% better at this point. It was really stressful trying to be present at work since my job ends on Christmas Eve, while also trying to maximize on craft fairs and library signings. 

I even got to spend last night talking to a book club that read my book, which was super fun! It's always cool to see the insights that others have in my work, to be able to share more about Tourette syndrome, and to share what was real vs fiction in the novel. However, by the end of the day I was DONE. I'm surprised I felt so much better this morning instead of relapsing back into being sick. 

As of last night, book sales are up to 184, but I have a craft fair this morning and someone else is finishing up my book in KU, so I have high hopes of at least hitting 200 this weekend! And with another craft fair this weekend, and one in my hometown, 250 is my new goal before Christmas. Then, with any luck, any bookish gift cards given for the holiday, there might be a few more books sold?

At this point, I either get a Christmas miracle that gets me to that 1,000 in the next 3 weeks, or I shoot for a much more reasonable 300.

I've always been one to believe in big, impossible things. And it is still better than my initial thoughts when I first launched the book. When I learned there were 100 days from launch day to the end of the year, I had first thought that selling 100 books would be a fun goal- one book per day! Then I realized that was a small goal and I could do better, which is why I decided to 10x it, as one often hears in the business world. 

Point is, I'm still MUCH farther ahead than that initial thought process and I am grateful that I am doing so well with Madamn sales.

Because that 184 is JUST Madamn, none of my 4 other books. All 4 of my nonfiction have actually been selling as well. I just received a package yesterday restocking me for the next few shows as well. 

All in all, things are setting up for an awesome 2026! I can't wait to see where the new year takes me!

Where My Mind Is...

Monday, December 8, 2025

Is it just me or is there something about the holiday season that just makes the days much together and all fly by far too quickly?

I can't believe I missed another week! After doing so well... 

But to be fair, there has been a LOT going on in my personal life in addition to running my business and my job and the holidays. However, I've been reading Anti-Time Management by Richie Norton (strongly recommend!) and I will hopefully be able to get my life under control soon. What better time to make changes than the new year?

Fun fact, New Year's has been my favorite holiday for many years. My husband doesn't understand my odd rituals for the holiday. He was always one to go out and party to welcome in the new year. I, however, spend a few hours journaling before going to bed early so I can start the new year WITHOUT feeling hungover and get a head start on the things that are important to me.

I love looking at how far I have come over the past year and looking at where I want to go in the coming one. 

I have started mulling over these ideas a little, but nothing in depth just yet. There are actually a lot of things up in the air right now, which makes it hard to know what is going to happen. I'm still making plans of where I want to end up, but the route is still unknown.

With the flurry of holiday activities coming up, I hope you take some time for yourself to pause and express gratitude for 2025. For the highlights, for the hard lessons, and for the people most important in your life.

Madamn's Progress

Saturday, November 29, 2025


Hey friends! Another day late, but yesterday being Black Friday, work was incredibly busy. Which is wonderful, because it is a small local business who hasn't historically been that busy on Black Friday. They almost told me not to worry about coming in, but I'm glad they did!

But it did mean I was unable to write a post yesterday, but I am still here! Book sales have slowed considerably since I haven't done any craft fairs in a couple of weeks, and online sales have come to a standstill. Right now, the only movement I have comes from the pages read in Kindle Unlimited, where Madamn is available. 

However, I did record another podcast this week, so I have 2 pending launch soon, which will hopefully help. A couple more craft fairs on the horizon will help as well.

On the learning curve side, I have been trying to call bookstores in a few other towns and not having any luck at all. I can get a hold of them, that isn't the issue, but the red tape to get signings in bookstores that I am not local to is a bit of a challenge! At least in one city I've tried. This week, we are switching towns to see if I have better luck elsewhere. 

I'm also reaching out to more podcasts and more influencers about possible collaborations, so hopefully we can get some more exposure soon. If you know of any podcasts or influencers, please let me know or send them my way!

Em's story is important and it needs to be shared. It's not just me saying this either, check out this amazing review I received this week:



This seriously made my week. With reviews like this, I'm sure this book will do well!

Today I Celebrate My Brother

Friday, November 21, 2025

Hey friends. I won't write much today. There is a heaviness on my soul today. So I'm taking it fairly easy  and making no promises for anything today. 

Today my brother would have been 34 years old. 

It's still so weird that he is gone. Even if it has been almost 6 years. Grief is a funny thing. There have been birthdays in the past that have been just fine. There have been regular days where it hits me like a cannonball to the stomach. 

You just never know when things are going to hit you or not. But I have noticed certain days, like birthdays, have an increased chance of the cannonball days.

Today is one of those.

The grief gets so heavy, I just want to go back to bed and sleep and pretend it's not happening.

But because that also seems counterproductive, I woke up early to do a workout, because he was a gym  rat. I'm doing things that he would be proud of, like trying to grow my business. He was always my biggest fan and thought it was so cool that I had published.

When my first book came out in 2016, he told his friends that I had published a book and they needed to buy it and read it to him because he couldn't read.



I miss him today. In honor of him, I keep going, even when it's hard. 

I do want to clarify that it doesn't mean I ignore the hurt, pretend it isn't there. I still feel it. That's important. I find ways to express that wherever I can. Like this blog post. Like  my workout this morning. Like wearing earrings of Captain America's shield; he loved Captain America. Like wearing a dragonfly necklace that was given to me after his passing with a sweet poem.

I'm sure there will be more. Again, I make no promises of what I will or will not do today. I keep moving, but I'm not pushing through the pain. I go at my own pace to feel and grieve. 

We will see how today turns out. It's always an adventure.

I'm Only Human, After All

Friday, November 14, 2025

Happy Friday Friends!

It's crazy to think that another week has gone by already! There has been a lot of things going on this week and it feels like it has just slipped away from me.

However, last night I got incredibly overwhelmed and had a bit of a breakdown. Not a terrible one, just feeling like I needed to step away from all the things and take some deep breaths. 

There are still days when I feel almost super-human and forget that I can only do one thing at a time. 

I had not only double booked myself, but had packed things around the double booking, so when I finally came home and saw a dirty kitchen that needed my attention, it got to be a bit much. Not only that, but I knew the next couple of days where I will be working a craft fair were also going to be long and busy. 

At first, I got a bit manic, trying to just get stuff out of the way trying to clean, even if some dishes weren't dry. Then my sweet husband tried to point out that I was putting wet dishes where they didn't belong, trying to slow me down off my manic moment, I had to run to another room for a moment. 

I've always had an issue dealing with overwhelm, and know I need to take things in bite size chunks, but when each item on your to do list has a voice and all 30 things are yelling at the same time to be taken care of, right now, I have to turn them off somehow so that I can look at it logically and be able to actually do the things instead of walking around in circles.

My life has become a bit much, and I have to take a moment to sit and decide what is the most important thing I want done.

Like today, I chose 3 things this morning that if nothing else gets done, I'd be ok with it. First was loading up my car, then going to work, and working the craft fair. 

Easy peasy.

But also, what 3 things can I potentially get done during work to take some more things off that list?

First, blog post. I've been doing so well at being consistent and I want to keep that going. 

Second, read over the information I received yesterday from a meeting.

Third, do some research into a grant I want to apply for, which will also help me close several tabs on my computer that have been open for too long. 

Sometimes I forget how essential planning is for me. Otherwise, I get a little too excited about all the things. Which really is a good thing and I'm grateful I have this trait.

Life really is short and I'm grateful to have so many things that get me excited about life and having so many things I want to do. I want more out of life and I'm grateful I have the desire to chase after this life as I want to live it. 

Sometimes I wish I could manically complete tasks, I do love the sense of accomplishment, but the point of completing these things is to be able to relax and enjoy things as well. 

It's a delicate balance and a lesson I keep learning over and over. 

Maybe one day I'll figure it. Maybe not.

I'm only human, after all.

Holiday Update

Friday, November 7, 2025

This week has not gone at all as expected. I have started to pursue an opportunity locally and it has taken up a lot of time, and continues to do so. I'm not at liberty to say yet, and it may or may not even happen. It will be a month's long process if it does. 

The bad news in all of this, my marketing efforts have been slowed and I have had no sales in the past week. The good news is there is a craft fair this weekend, so that won't be an issue for long. 

More good news, this opportunity has opened doors that will help me as an author, regardless of the outcome of this opportunity. it feels good to be growing as a business owner. There are a lot of details to go over and see if this opportunity is really possible, then looking at steps to take to make it a reality.

That's really all the update I can give at this point in time.

I am doing research for my next two books, one will be a children's book and the other is a full length novel. Again, there isn't much of an update I can share since we are still in the research phase, but eventually I will have a lot of great and exciting things to share with you!

Remember, if you are shopping for the holidays, you will need to place your orders sooner rather than later.

The deadline for me to order from my printer and get them in time for the holidays is November 22 for hardcover and December 6 for paperbacks. 

You can place your orders on my website at https://paulajeanferri.com/shop

Happy Halloween!

Friday, October 31, 2025

This week had a lot of unexpected happen, so I never got a costume together, but I hope you are having a wonderful holiday! Here is a photo of my husband and I back when we were dating. This was actually his idea. I'm not a huge fan of Ariel, but when he made the argument of "but I wanted to be your prince Eric(h)" I melted and caved. 




As for my writing work, I am lucky to have a brother in law who is also a writer and keeps me accountable. We have a writing session scheduled this weekend, so I'm getting an idea for my next book. 

There are actually two books in the queue that I'll be working on. One is a children's book that Erich will actually be writing, but I will be outlining. He is better with prose than I am, so he will make it sound nice once I have the general idea.

I'm also beginning to research my next novel, also a biographical fiction. I have noticed that many people have a strong dislike, even hatred for Em's mother, which honestly breaks my heart. 

Em's mother, Eulalie, is in reality quite a tragic character. I want her to have some sympathy and some grace, so her story is the next one I will be writing. 

However, it does take place during a very different time period and different part of France, though some of it might overlap into Guermantes, if I go all the way to when she meets and marries Em's father. 

I'm excited to write more of his story as well as Eulalie's. We will also have another returning character in Em's husband, Louis. As Eulalie's cousin and only one year younger, he will be a fun dynamic to write about. 

And all of this while juggling a new exciting venture that I'm not at liberty to talk about yet and leading up into the holidays. 

I certainly have my work cut out for me!


I Blinked And...

Friday, October 24, 2025

I have no idea how another week went by. This week was so crazy busy with so many ups and downs. I don't know how we got here TBH. So here are a few of the highlights:

-I did make my goal on Saturday and passed the 100 books sold mark-YAY!

-The company I work for part time is selling.

-I might buy the company (looking into logistics).

-Bookmarked Literary Arts Festival has to pay a property tax? Doing research there, too.

-There was an evacuation needed at work yesterday.

-Had a meeting with my book club where we read my book. Leading up to it was nerve-wracking, but it went really well and people enjoyed the book and asked me some awesome questions. I kind of wish I had audio recorded it and used the questions for content online.

-I have ideas for my next book starting and research happening.

I am REALLY looking forward to the weekend and not doing anything for a few hours. Until I get bored and decide to tackle some of these things, but at my leisure and as I WANT to do them rather than feeling tossed around as things ebb and flow.

Anyways, I hope you have a marvelous weekend and don't forget to read Madamn and leave a review when you finish!
