Author, poet, & freelance writer + snacks… Novels: The Things We Keep, The Me List ❤️ New book Square Hearts out now! juleebalko.com

Need a book about rebuilding life after loss, forbidden lust, and learning how to love yourself again? I'm pretty proud that it shows single parents, neurodivergent kids, and why it's just as important in a romance to fall back in love with yourself. shorturl.at/RwtBZ

Got my dog a dog bed because her joints have been hurting her lately. But I think it was labeled wrong.

There I was. Grocery bags all in my arms with only my door standing in my way. I could put the bags down but that’s for the weak. I knew if I could just kick the door handle the right way I could be victorious. Was I? My cat greeted my triumphant arrival with a lack of admiration

But pretty sure I saw her snickering as I kicked open the door and two paper bags broke open. You don’t understand I said to my cat. Because no one understands why grocery bags make humans so irrational about strength.

🍁Drank cider. 🍁Made pumkin bread. 🍁Went on a walk and pointed out all the red leaves. 🍁Made caramel apples. 🍁Learned my cat likes caramel. 🍁Rejoiced at pumpkins. I really autumned the crap out of my day. Might need to take it easy tomorrow or ohhh roast pumpkin seeds.

How many hot beverages are too many in one day? And does that number increase exponentially if you’re a writer and it’s raining in Seattle?

Last night, it was just me and another woman left at work. As we were talking, she said, SOMEONE is in the office. We both got quiet. And what was my instinct as a writer? To hold my pen like a weapon and do a sweep through the office like I was going to stab them with my ...

ballpoint. It was super creepy walking through the office looking for the assailant. Luckily, no one was there. Because let's be honest, I'm not sure a pen makes a good weapon for anything but slaying deadlines.

Was feeling grouchy then walked at lunch and crunched some leaves under my feet. Amazing how the sound of change can turn your mood around. 🍂

I can’t stop thinking about it. I’m sitting here day dreaming about how good it felt. Like I didn’t know how badly my body needed that. Me on my back. You curled around me. It was so hot. Yes, it was the best nap ever with a heated blanket.

The leaves are changing And so are we. How lucky we are to Fall Fall Fall away from the past. I like to think I’m turning yellow Or maybe a rusty red As I embrace all that’s new in me. Autumn is a time for letting go. Even barren. The trees stand tall all the same.

I love working from home because I can pass my cat and say things like, “What are you doing? Being a little weirdo?” And then continue working. People in the office don’t find that as cute.

Sometimes I think the world is evil. And then today a car flashed their lights at me and rolled down their window to warn me that a deer was on the edge of the road. It made my heart happy. Cause some of us are looking out for little deer and that makes the world a better place.

Today’s one of those rainy peaceful mornings where you could sleep in. Or if you put your foot outside your blanket your cat stabs you with her claw like a demon possessed slasher driven by the promise of canned tuna until you wake up and feed her.
