Lin. Your nerd is showing.  Sailor Moon was/is a Lin. Your nerd is showing. 

Sailor Moon was/is a pivotal part of my life. I will forever be obsessed, and this week I wanted all the nerdy perfection I could get. Did you watch the original 90’s anime, Crystal, or read the manga? Or, like me, were you obsessive enough to watch/read it all?

Scroll through to get a better look at the doodles! Also special thanks to @ellebeauregard for my early Gilded Lies release gift in the form of a custom disk notebook cover featuring Michiru and Haruka!

✒Writing: Super Secret Project!
📖Reading: Finished Witch by Lisa Lester!
🎞Watching: Attempting to cut back, but still on Star Wars Rebels.
😁Made me smile: ARC reader binged Gilded Lies in one night with all the squees!

You came to me because I’m gorgeous—KIDDING! Y You came to me because I’m gorgeous—KIDDING! You came here because I’m not shy about being nerdy and obsessive and way too into planners. I work constantly and dream big, and I don’t have the capacity to half-ass my writing (cleaning on the other hand…). I want to give you a nerdy, romantic, adventurous home to completely disappear into. Reality can suck it.

Midweek reminder to take a breath with me. Inhale—pause—exhale. It’s okay to slow down once in a while and remember that “in 1000 years none of this shit will matter.”—Cards Against Humanity.

Tomorrow I'm posting the first two chapters of #Gi Tomorrow I'm posting the first two chapters of #GildedLies to my newsletter. PEOPLE ARE GONNA READ IT. Part of me never thought I'd see the day where other people would see the stuff I see. You see, I’m that kid who created tons of things and hid it all away, just like I’ve been hiding manuscripts under my bed for ten years. But regardless of the occasional troll, I’ve found my friends here to be supportive, crazy funny, and 100% a part of my new extended family. Peek at the second picture for a little taste of the romance in my X-Men esque world.

It’s time to appreciate my incredible fan-mily 💜😘 Newsletter link in bio!

Beauty and the Beast helped me realize I would for Beauty and the Beast helped me realize I would forever love readers. Belle was my ultimate princess (and crush). Her gift of kindness convinced me that reading was the way to create empathy and love between people. That is, of course, not the whole picture, but I wanted to be like that.
💜
Reading was always weirdly hard for me, but I loved stories, so I decided to write them (I know, makes perfect sense). Maybe that’s why I’m not nearly as good of a person as Belle. Unless you blended Belle with Ursula—I’m helpful and fairly educated, but also a butt about getting what I want.

HUZZAH!! I’m SO freaking excited to have been ac HUZZAH!! I’m SO freaking excited to have been accepted as a Passion Planner ambassador! WTF is that you ask? Basically, I use Passion Planner so skillfully that they’ve decided to recognize my brilliance. Hah! Kidding. In truth it means I believe in their work enough to encourage my fellow creatives to plan, achieve, and track their lifetime dreams with a little Passion Planner assistance.

Planning (any and all of it) changed my productivity and shot me forward like an arrow towards my goals (but like, an arrow Robin Hood shot, not me). I’ll be posting about my whole journey from an "aspiring writer" to publishing #GildedLies soon!

Today’s the day you meet Licia, the character wh Today’s the day you meet Licia, the character who kills with empathy—seriously. I’m obsessed with the power of emotions and wanted to see what would happen if I puzzled it out to the extreme. Her journey is dark and snarky.

Speaking of emotions, I’ve been toying with starting a youtube channel specifically about writers and emotions. Have you ever wondered if writers face somewhat unique emotional challenges? Or how emotions are used to further character motivations and arcs? Let me know. Otherwise I might be crazy (who are we kidding. We all know I’m a little crazy regardless).

I needed to unplug. I ran to my favorite safe spot I needed to unplug. I ran to my favorite safe spot (I'm real big about my space being a safe sanctuary) and woke early to watch the sunrise. I cried at it on the first day. Reveled on the second. My focus and dedication has become a little skewed lately. It's time to reassess my goals, find new ways to chase my dreams, and reawaken the fires within.

Hello, my name is Lin and I’m a snarky, sassy, sensational woman who decided two years ago to stop living up to expectations set by other people and own my oddball self (I'm still a work in progress).
💜
I’m a bit wild, a bit weird, and a lot wonderful. I like nerdy pop-culture, tarot cards, and epic storytelling. 
💜
When people told me no, I worked harder. When they said I couldn’t, I did anyway. I’ll screw up, fall down, pick myself up, and keep going.
💜
I don’t give a damn if you say I can’t, because I believe I can. So I will, but I want you to believe that you can, too.

I was having a lot of time slippage with my husband being home and reality skewing all over the place, so I'm taking this week and next to remake my routines and daily schedule.
