Book Releasing Soon!

Hey besties!

My poetry collection is hitting the online shelves very soon! Release date pending... if I ever have one. To be honest, I am very nervous to publish but trying my best to be excited and positive. Here's hoping I can pull it together.

As for the editing of the collection, I'm completely done. The only thing left to do is take some promo photos for the release date! I had a few ideas in mind for the photo shoot, I guess we'll see what I end up doing.

I took a trip to New York a few weeks ago! I visited my uncles. It was such a lovely trip. I learned some recipes and worked out a little bit with my uncle. I also read 'Poems of the Modern Gay Boy' by Joseph Anthony, which I read with my uncle. I loved it! I reviewed the collection on Goodreads, maybe I'll review it on the blog. I also saw some Broadway shows- Beetlejuice and Company! I loved the revival Company so much. Patti was absolutely superb, and Katrina Lenk was so funny. Matt Doyle was so good in "Not Getting Married" and I got to meet him after the show! Beetlejuice was also an absolute slay. Alex Brightman was so good, but Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer absolutely stole the show.

Currently, I'm back on campus! I'm working as a peer mentor for Purdue's Summer Start/Early Start Program. It's been a lot of fun! I'm also taking a class about leadership (I already finished my Intro to Spanish course and Film Course), and working my minimum wage job. All that and the book- it's definitely been a busy summer. Hoping for a week off before the fall semester!

Anyways, I'll update you when I publish my book! Exciting times.

Signed,
