The Writing Coconut

I’m the head(and only) Coconut! Thank you for coming to this blog. I’m a freshly graduated African American woman who dreams of becoming a pulished novelist one day. I grew up writing fanfiction and, while I still love it, I want the chance to make a career out of my writing.

Hi everybody! It’s Ms. Coconut here! Sorry I haven’t really been posting lately. I’ve recently went through yet another job change and have lost quite a bit of free time as a result. I’ve taken on a lesser, more part time evening role at the agency I was working at and am on staff at a school during the day time. I’m trying to save up for some stuff I need, so once I started working both jobs,…
