The traditional publishing world is scary and depressing. So why am I diving head first into it?

📚Yes, my little bookshelf is sparse. 😲⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm not a true Bookstagrammer, I know... 🙊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But I am extremely selective with which books I actually keep. 🤷‍♀️Just my faves and a couple I haven't read yet make an appearance here. 📖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you intimidated (and amazed) by all of Bookstagram's bookshelves? I know I am. 😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstagram #books #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #bookstore #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #fiction #fictionbooks #yafiction #youngadultbooks #youngadult #youngadultfiction #youngadultbook #youngadultlit #youngadultbooksgram #youngadultreads #youngadultnovel #youngadultliterature #youngadultseries #hungergames #thehungergames #divergent #quotes #quotestoremember #quotestagram #quotesfordays

📖Almost every single person in the world says that to be a writer, you have to read… and they are completely right. 🤷‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Only thing is, I haven't been. 😰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...until now. 😎⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In this week's 🆕blog post, I confess that I'm finally back into somewhat of a reading routine! Plus, I talk about my recent love of #The5thWave. 👽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Link in my bio, as usual. 🙆‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstagram #books #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #bookstore #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #fiction #fictionbooks #yafiction #youngadultbooks #youngadult #youngadultfiction #youngadultbook #youngadultlit #youngadultbooksgram #youngadultreads #youngadultnovel #youngadultliterature #youngadultseries #hungergames #thehungergames #divergent #quotes #quotestoremember #quotestagram #quotesfordays

Today, I wanted to share the most intense project I ever worked on: my senior year doc about the importance of #BlackPanther. 🖤 ⠀ 📹 Produced for the @unc_viscom department of @unchussman, it was a semester-long documentary project co-directed with @bfbatistaphoto based on the significance of the film for the black community. ⠀ It features the amazing: @charlierocketcosplay, @blerdbrothers, @elizabeth.teresita, and @nceesay. 🙌 ⠀ 💚 I am forever proud of this film, so check it out. 👆 . . . #MCU #MarvelCinematicUniverse #mcuniverse #BlackPantherMovie #blackpantherthemovie #blackpanther2018 #blackpantherfilm #photojournalist #photojournalism #documentaryphotojournalism #videographer #videography #documentary #documentaryfilm #documentaryfilmmaking #documentaryfilmmaker #documentarydirector

🎶Instead of doing poetry this month like I usually do, I wanted to change it up and share with you guys my favorite song lyrics that truly helped mold my book, "In the Sky." 🎸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Indie/folky music is something I got into a hell of a lot while writing, and the incomparable @boniver was always at the front of it all. 🎼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This particular song was always one for me that had to do with a certain favorite character's death... I just adore the haunting, slow, methodical nature of it. 💁‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #boniver #lyrics #lyricsquote #lyricsoftheday #lyricswithmeaning #LYRICSFORDAYS #lyricsgram #LyricsStillMatter #lyricsarelife #lyricslove #lyricslover #lyricstoliveby #lyricsquotes #LyricsOnPoint #lyricsong #lyricsedit #musicislife #musiclife #musicismylife #musiclove #musiclover

𝕀'𝕄 𝔹𝔸ℂ𝕂 𝕀ℕ𝕋𝕆 ℝ𝔼𝔸𝔻𝕀ℕ𝔾! 😯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ...yes, I run a Bookstagram and have been in a reading slump for over a year. 😖⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Either way, I was trying to find comp titles for my query letter, and the wonderful @robbierumansik said #The5thWave was super similar to my story. (And aliens can be hard to come by in good YA fiction, so...) 💁‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Long story short, I LOVED IT. 💛I just finished the final book, and even though it can be super annoying to get through at times because of the multiple POVs, the story itself is great and the characters are top notch. 👏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 💫"I am humanity." 💫⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ God I love sci-fi. 👽⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookstagram #books #bookshelf #bookstagrammer #bookstore #booksofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #fiction #fictionbooks #yafiction #youngadultbooks #youngadult #youngadultfiction #youngadultbook #youngadultlit #youngadultbooksgram #youngadultreads #youngadultnovel #youngadultliterature #youngadultseries #hungergames #thehungergames #divergent #quotes #quotestoremember #quotestagram #quotesfordays
