When it's time for me to write, I have a non-negotiable routine.  First things first... the yard gets anointed. We are setting the atmosphere before a single word gets written. Next? A proper Girl Dinner. Because apparently my creative process burns through snacks like it's an Olympic sport.  Give me a charcuterie board, some fruit, cheese, crackers... all the grazing essentials. Don't expect a full meal—just keep the snacks coming. Then, when I have to emerge from my writing cave and participate in adulthood, I'm reaching for a cute Christian graphic tee and my favorite sunglasses because this Florida sun does not play.  Back to the writing cave as quickly as humanly possible? Absolutely.  These are a few of my favorite things, so of course they made the merch page. If you're anything like me, welcome to the club!
