It’s been a long time coming… 📣💋💅

I started this blog as a way to get back into my NaNoWriMo 2022 project. The idea for this novel came to me when I asked the question: what if "Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince" was actually about two lesbians? After years of tinkering with this idea I decided to put pen to paper last fall and there Frankie and Pemberley were born.

I decided to write Frankie as Chinese American because of the age-old adage “write what you know.” My hopes were to explore the intersects of Frankie’s identities, and consequently my own, while navigating the perils of her senior year of high school and her newfound crush on the new girl in town.

Watching the opening night of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour really motivated me to pick up where I left off - partially because Taylor’s athleticism in the performance was awe-inspiring and partially because she opened with the song for which my project is inspired by and that had to be a sign.

I made this moodboard poster as well as a playlist during NaNoWriMo for inspiration, but what I’d really love this time around is for Taylor to drop the Eras Tour concert film so I can play it while I work on my rewrites. But I doubt we will get that for months so without further ado…

i have a face blindness but only specifically to my own face so every few months i challenge myself to draw a self-portrait. and because i have yet to get my likeness across i thought i would make up for it by adding little icons that get my personality across. context clues if you will.
