Good afternoon, wonderful readers! I am happy to (finally) announce that the first draft of Rose's Ruin is complete! It's take a couple years getting here, but the relief is immeasurable, haha! Now that the first part is done, I'm hoping to really get the ball rolling on everything else! I honestly prefer the editing… Continue reading First Draft: Complete!
Happy New Year!
Hello, readers! Happy New Year! I remember being a kid and thinking the 2020s seemed so far away, and now it's already 2024! Last year I focused on family & motherhood (which was truly so sweet) and now I want to really bring my writing back into focus this year. Little Bear (my daughter) is… Continue reading Happy New Year!
Poetry | through her eyes
Hello, dear readers. It's been a while, hasn't it? In July of this year, I gave birth to the sweetest little girl and I couldn't be more thrilled. Being her mom is such a privilege & joy.

My Writing | It’s Official, Rose’s Ruin is Happening
*checks Rose's Wrath's publication date* *sees it was March of 2020* Well, it's been a while, I'll admit that. Rose's Wrath was published to positive feedback and a deep love for many of the characters! Due to many different things, the next book, Rose's Ruin, has been MIA. I can say, though, that the first… Continue reading My Writing | It’s Official, Rose’s Ruin is Happening
Rantish Ramblings | You’re Still a Writer and I Hope You Know That
I stared at my laptop screen for what felt like the third time all year. And yet, the Google Docs page remained blank. Come on, I thought. How could I have just stopped writing? It was naive of me, looking back. Assuming that the (far) less rigorous life in high school couldn't have contributed much… Continue reading Rantish Ramblings | You’re Still a Writer and I Hope You Know That
Poetry | dear [insert]
Hello, everyone! *glances at the date of last post* Ermm... So, it's been a while. *crickets* Okay, so maybe a long while.

So, we're starting off slow & easy with… Continue reading Poetry | dear [insert]
Rantish Ramblings | I Really Love to Write… Like, a Lot, But It’s a Bit Overwhelming
Hello, wonderful readers! It is I, Oceane, finally back (sort of) to the world of blogging. I actually am currently working on a super secret project (okay, more just like a new blog) and getting to write without any pressure to talk about anything or say something in a certain way has been REALLY refreshing.… Continue reading Rantish Ramblings | I Really Love to Write… Like, a Lot, But It’s a Bit Overwhelming
Rantish Ramblings | Mental Health and Today’s Fiction
Hello, wonderful readers! If you know even just a little about me, you know I'm a huge advocate for mental health. I believe it such a critically important part of a healthy life, and is one that is ignored far too often, especially in Christian circles. As someone who has been in therapy for nearly… Continue reading Rantish Ramblings | Mental Health and Today’s Fiction
Rantish Ramblings | Why Reading is Hard
Hello, wonderful readers! I'm sure most of you can look back and remember middle school and high school you - going to the library, grabbing a dozen books, and reading them in two weeks. That used to be me. Though that hasn't been me in at least a year and a half. The thing is,… Continue reading Rantish Ramblings | Why Reading is Hard
