While an MFA is NOT necessary to pursue creative writing, mine provided me with invaluable time to write my novel, deeper connections with my professors and friends, and opportunities to write in forms I would never have considered. Here's to arts education! 🙌🏾

I graduated from my MFA today! 🎉💐🥹

Getting to show you all this cover and announce that VILLAIN is officially coming out in May of next year is such a joy and a relief i don't even know how to express it.

the cover for a book entitled Villain by Natalie Zina Walschots. the cover is a bright magenta with dark blue and teal lettering for the title, and the author's name is in yellow. there is an image of the silhouette of a woman carrying a cane, surrounded by the silhouettes of five superheroes.

Not my fave, but I liked it, all things considered. I thought I would hate it because I read some of the reviews. But it was nice.

I wanted to watch The Materialists in theatres, but I missed it. Didn't want to pay $20 for it on Prime. Come to find out (from a Tik Tok), it's on Hoopla. Which I have access to for FREE because of my library card. Now I'm watching it from the comfort of my home, eating pasta. Support libraries.
