Meet Sharky: The Toothbrushing Hero You Didn't Know You Needed! 🦈✨

Sharky the Toothbrushing Shark is Coming Soon! 🦈✨

So, let me reintroduce Sharky, my adorable little shark on a mission to spread the importance of brushing your teeth! 🪥🦷 He comes straight from a short story I’ve been working on, and I’m finally taking steps to get it out into the world.

I originally tried selling it on Amazon Marketplace, but that was a big fat fail 😂. I also used Etsy, and let me tell you—I hated it. They charge for every little thing, and honestly, it just wasn’t the right fit for me. So, I switched gears and started using Reedsy to format my ePub book, and I must say… it’s coming out beautifully! 😍

In the meantime, I’ve been researching other options, and here are some of the best places I’m considering to get this story out there:
✅ Reedsy – for the formatting ✨
✅ Gumroad – Perfect for selling eBooks directly.
✅ Teachers Pay Teachers – If it’s educational, teachers might love it.
✅ Barnes & Noble Press – Lets you self-publish both eBooks and print versions.
✅ IngramSpark – Distributes to major retailers worldwide.
✅ Kobo Writing Life – Another platform to reach new audiences.
✅ Kickstarter/Indiegogo – Maybe a crowdfunding campaign could get things rolling!

I know marketing is key, so I’ll be sharing more about Sharky—maybe some sneak peeks, fun illustrations, and updates on this journey.

This has been a passion project for a while, and now I’m just hoping to gain some traction. If all goes well, your kids (or your nieces, nephews, or little cousins) will love Sharky just as much as I do! 💙

Let me know what you think, and if you’ve got any marketing tips, drop them in the comments. I’m just a wannabe writer trying anything at this point! 😂 But hey, you never know until you try, right? 🤷🏾‍♀️✨

Missing You, Mark: Life Just Isn’t the Same Without You

It’s hard to put into words how much I miss my best friend, Mark Williams Jr. 💔 He would’ve turned 36 on October 9, and it feels strange celebrating his birthday in Greece without him here. We met when I was 14, and from that moment on, we were inseparable—literally attached at the hip. I used to call him my “gentle giant” because that’s exactly who he was. We both were a little awkward, a little shy, but somehow we just clicked. He made everything easier, and we understood each other’s quirks in a way nobody else could. Mark was the first of us to get his driver’s license. We used to laugh about how neither of us ever really had a relationship, mostly because he was so shy around girls. I wasn’t much better, to be honest. But those things never mattered because we always had each other. As we got older, life started getting in the way, and adult responsibilities pulled us in different directions. Still, I cherished every text, every corny joke, and every silly story about his string ...

Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey

  Wildfire Alert: A Wake-Up Call in New Jersey New Jersey, a state we usually associate with urban life, shorelines, and lush parks, has been hit with an unexpected and dangerous crisis. Wildfires have broken out across the state, with major incidents reported in both urban and natural areas. This is not something we're used to seeing here, but it’s become a reality we can no longer ignore. In West Milford’s Jennings Creek, a massive wildfire has already scorched over 3,000 acres, threatening nearby homes, structures, and closing down local roads. The blaze is only 10% contained, and firefighters are working tirelessly to prevent further spread. But this isn't just limited to rural areas—there's been another blaze closer to more populated regions. As smoky air fills neighborhoods, it’s becoming more evident that wildfires don’t only happen "somewhere else." The origin of the fire in West Milford has reportedly been linked to human activity, with one person alleged...

Diary of a Chaotic Day: Math, Figma, Funky Classmates, and a Walmart Surprise

lol this ai pic is so funny 😂  Late Post: Written on November 14, 2024 Today was… something, to say the least. It all started with a brutal math quiz 🧮 ➗ that, for some reason, my professor thought could be done in 20 minutes—without a calculator. Seriously? Twenty minutes to solve problems like: • p² + 11p + 30 = (p + 5)(p + 6) • b² + 8b + 15 = (b + 3)(b + 5) • 36 - 25t² = (6 - 5t)(6 + 5t) These aren’t your basic addition problems—factorizing on paper is a whole other struggle! Tackling them without any kind of help was impossible 🤯. Math class feels like my personal downfall, but I’m powering through as best as I can 💪🏾. After surviving that, I treated myself to some Green Day coffee ☕ and mini tacos 🌮 with a kick! The coffee was heaven—Green Day’s got a way of summing things up with  “American Idiot”  and how we’re living in  “Troubled Times.” Then I went to the library to work… or at least tried to. I ended up people-watching 👀, sipping my coffee, and star...
