Hi! I’m L.J.
Long story short, this blog exists because I love writing and I have some really wonderful, encouraging friends.
On this whimsy-filled blog, you’ll find some of my original short stories and poems, a dash of writing tips, a handful of books that I adore, and a pinch of what I find inspiring or delightful.
If you’re here for my editing services, feel free to bop on over here. I would absolutely love to read your work and help you be the best writer you can be.
I grew up in Western New York and started taking writing seriously when I moved to Texas in 2017. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and spent my career honing my business writing skills. In 2017, I began attending a weekly writing and critique group, put in hours of self study and attend various writing conferences. I’ve also completed a Certification in Editing with The Poynter Institute.
When I’m not editing or writing, you can find me working in an art gallery in downtown Buffalo (I moved back in 2024!), presenting about storytelling, tarot, or catharsis in writing, writing horror, reading, researching, going for walks, watching crime or sci-fi shows, playing piano, cooking, playing videogames, or watching horror with my husband and our two cats.
Thanks for clicking on me! Hope to see you again soon!
