#ivyandthink

Also, small announcement! I’m sure like none of y’all around here care at this point, but lol.

I’m slowly working on scrubbing my old Ivy Legacy posts. 🥺

As some of y’all maybe know by now, I’m working on writing actual books off of this world I’ve created. I’m about 1/4 of the way done with draft 1 of book 1 (Elliot & Clementine’s story), and while the story is literally unrecognizable at this point, I still don’t want the ‘old story’ lingering around. I’m not fully deleting it (I could never– this blog’s had a chokehold on me for too long lol) but I am archiving it, so I’m the only one who could view the old posts.

It is seriously the end of an era, y’all. The Ivy’s were my thing. Once I ended them, I was never as consistent on here again (that coincides with a lot of other things, but I digress). The Ivy Legacy was how I grew this silly blog in the first place. It’s how I connected with so many cool people on here 🥺

But while it is the end of that era, it’s also the beginning of a new one! I’m SO excited to bring these characters and stories to life in a way that does them justice. I have been writing like a madwoman over the past 2 years. I’ve replotted probably over a dozen times. Rewritten tens of thousands of words. I’ve devoured SO MANY BOOKS just to learn more about what makes a book good. I’ve grown exponentially not just as writer, but as a storyteller.

And of course, I wouldn’t be here, writing these things, if it weren’t for this place. And for this weird, broken game. Which is nuts to think about lol.

When the time comes, I will be MORE than happy to offer some of y’all ARC (free, advanced copies of the book, in exchange for honest review on public platforms) copies of the book as a way of saying thanks to those of you who’ve stuck around and remember how I got my start. Maybe I’ll even do a paperback giveaway on here or something 🥰  just something to say thank you to this place, and those of you here who’ve supported me. 

kinda wanna just have a lil slice of life, chill, real time gameplay (by real time, i mean like... its october now. so it’ll be fall in my game, etc. idk it made more sense in my head, dont ask lol)

and all i gotta say is.... you better watch my youtube LP when i relaunch it 😭 or else youre fake friends and you gotta go. 

its gonna be cute. christmas vibes. love story. christmas tree farm 👀  baby animals!!!!!

i have NEVER used digital calendars before? and tbh i never really... had a good idea of how to integrate one? like i didnt know how to make one useful enough for me to actually want to check it all the time, and when i didnt check it, it’d become non-functional lol

BUT this week i was doing a tonn of backend work on my CRM setting up a new funnel for sales calls, and part of that meant integrating my gcal to book said calls. the CRM will automatically block out time shceduled on my calendar so i don’t have to update my availability alll the dang time. so i figured ok now i need to get my calendar in order bc otherwise that’ll be a PAIN lol

I love both my Decades and my Ivy save. I might try and post them.. side by side? Like 2 posts of each daily? I don’t really like swapping back and forth, bc I know a lot of yall probably really only care about my historical content 😂
