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.”
Update: Changes Edition
So you might have noticed that we're back to Joey Hodges Writes around here. Blame my domain ADD, but I do have a few good reasons for the change. The only reason that carries any weight, though, is that at the end of the day, I'm a writer. And this writer intended to...

Hey guys! Just wanted to pop in for a quick minute. I know things on the blog front have been quiet lately. I'll give you a quick run down of what's been up! I was just putting the games into my ical because even though I'm a paper calendar girl, it seems every weekend we're all...
The not so unlucky 13th!
1. OPI La-paz-itively-hot with W&W megalast Silver Lake (dollar general limited edition). Oh, man. Oh, man. I die for a good silver accent! 2. First of all, I want to thank you all for your continued thoughts, prayers and understanding. I know I've been painfully...
Still Into You.
It's 10:30 at night. I'm babysitting the ground sausage in the pan; prepping for early morning breakfasts. I've got lettuce laid out on the counter ready to chop for a week worth of salads and a candle burning in the living room. The dog jumps from the couch and darts towards the door. He's home....
Done.
Let's talk. At what point does giving the benefit of the doubt turn into becoming a gullible idiot? Time and time again I allow myself to talk myself out of how I'm feeling about 1) a situation or 2) a person because I have always believed in second thirdfourthfifth chances. I...
HI, I'M JOEY
Mama, indie author, wife, believer and friend.
My only hope is that while you’re here, you feel a sense of belonging, comfort and empowerment. Because life is too short to live it worried you’re not good enough.

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.
