✍️ welcome to my writing life!!
hi there! my name is Joy, and since i was a child, i've been a daydreamer, a reader, and a storyteller. i'm currently working on what i hope will be my debut novel (a gothic high fantasy), and i'm here to document the writing life, from drafting woes to craft chats and everything all around and in between. i live in the midwest with a dashing husband, two young kids, two old cats, and a whole lot of houseplants.
i'm glad you're here! 💖🌙
