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.”
Shit I’ve Quit (and maybe you should, too)
This year has been all about growth for me. A lot has happened in the last twelve months that's required me to grow up seemingly all at once. I never understood when adults would tell me as a child that you don't ever really feel like a grown up. I get it now. But...

Confession: A change
Okay, it's confession time. Remember when I said I'm naturally skinny (and that you could hate me?), well, I think my eating habits are catching up to me. I don't keep a scale in my house. I just don't. I don't think it's nice or fair or healthy. I say that because I feel like I...

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.
