Hi, I´m Joey
It’s my hope that this website, which I founded in 2009, will become a regular source of inspiration, encouragement and comfort for you. We’re old friends here, and I’ve got stories to tell (and things to share). So grab a cuppa (or a glass) and stay a while.
While blogging is how I started my out-loud writing career, my debut novel, Yeah, maybe was released in 2014 and became an amazon bestseller. See more novels from me under “books.”
Just stop.
Stop making yourself small. Stop holding yourself back. Stop selling yourself short. This life you're living? It's yours. All yours. You get to decide what you want to do with it. You have the power and the ability to do anything you want. Stop believing that voice...
Stuff & Things 9/18

So now what? The Book: Part 3!
Catch up here & here. I didn't know where to start. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that to you since, you know, I graduated with a degree in Creative Writing. But here's the thing. I don't think there's any right way to start the process. I think you have to figure out what works best...
Sally Hansen Miracle Gel: Review
OVERVIEW: I picked up the set (the miracle gel topcoat and the miracle gel shade in grefitti) from Walgreens. $7.99 each. You can also pick up a box set for around $14.99, but not all of the shades are available in a box set. You can find these at any drugstore or big box...
I’ve been there…

YOU SHOULD READ MY BOOKS
For the deep feeler, the over-thinker & the one who’s trying to figure out where they fit.
I write for the ones who feel like they’re too much and not enough all at the same time. For the ones navigating big questions about identity, self-worth, relationships, and those in-between life moments no one really prepares you for.
My stories offer a mix of comfort and catharsis—like a late-night journal entry or a favorite nostalgic playlist. If you love Taylor Swift lyrics, soft heartbreak, and hopeful endings, you just might find a piece of yourself in these pages.
