Every year, I want a tea Advent calendar but just haven't pulled the plug because I have a fairly big collection of tea. This year, I preordered one. Life is too short—enjoy the little things that bring you joy! #friyay

I've been looking forward to reading this one, and I'm the first person to read it from my library! #booksky

It might rain this weekend.

It's my pumpkin patch weekend.

🤞🏻 That it stays away!

Happy National Cinnamon Roll Day! 🎉 I adore a good cinnamon roll, so it's not surprise that Cinny Roll tea is one of my faves. #nationalcinnamonrollday #tealover

The thing about mood reading is, if I get a library book, I'll read it. But if I have to choose from my physical tbr it's like...who knows what I'm in the mood for 😃 #booksky

Earl Grey on a cloudy morning makes things just a little better. #mondaymood

This first draft may be a beast, because I just hit 50k words and am finally figuring out some plot points. #writingcommunity #amwriting

Alexis Collins @lexiscee.bsky.social · 18d

I'm taking a break from wedding planning to do some querying and writing, with the help of a London Fog, of course. #writingcommunity #amquerying

A Wingstop opened up 15 minutes from me and this might be dangerous

It was another pumpkin chai kinda day 🍂 #tea #psl

I usually write fairly clean first drafts (a side effect of editing while I write) but my current WIP feels all over the place. I keep reminding myself that I can just edit it up later 😅 #writingcommunity

Happy Tuesday from me and my first homemade pumpkin spice chai latte of the season! #psl #pumpkinspice

I just ordered more of my Tylenol in case it "somehow" disappears off the shelves in the future 😅

Happy first day of fall to this foggy morning 🍂

Alexis Collins @lexiscee.bsky.social · 23d

I finally had time to sit down and write and I cranked out 2600 words! This was my first time writing on my new laptop, and it's crazy that the battery life lasts more than the 2 hours of my old laptop 😂 #writingcommunity

This movie is hilarious purely because this is NOT what North Texas looks like 😂 There aren't that many trees.

Alexis Collins @lexiscee.bsky.social · 24d

I'm making garlic and herb potato soup and I got The Possession of Alba Díaz from the library, and both are definitely putting me in the mood for fall! #booksky #soupseason

In these trying times, I highly recommend getting pumpkin chai and carrot cake from your local coffee shop 🫶🏻 #fridayfeeling #chai

Ahh yes, it's the time of year where work is busy, my wedding is almost a year away so I'm doing more planning, and I haven't written anything in weeks 😅 BUT I love anything pumpkin, apple spice, and fall related 🍁
