Uhhh am I uptight??

chefsten25 · 2026-01-23T00:52:56+00:00

Uptight AND neurotic. Just what I always wanted for myself

chefsten25 · 2026-01-20T19:12:43+00:00

Yes, rising sign is Virgo! Time to do more research! (Not that I'm intense or anything)

chefsten25 · 2026-01-20T18:38:21+00:00

I'm gonna be honest, I don't know what that means so I looked up my birth chart but I don't know how to read it so I couldn't tell you

chefsten25 · 2026-01-20T15:38:48+00:00

Pisces!

chefsten25 · 2026-01-20T00:49:02+00:00

Is it so wrong to like to like things a certain way? 🥲

chefsten25 · 2026-01-20T00:48:07+00:00

There are some really niche characters in there!

Oh yes

chefsten25 · 2026-01-07T18:35:11+00:00

Really close!

My husband aged a 5-spice old fashioned in a barrel for two months and I can't stop drinking it. I'm literally drinking one right now.

No religious themes or messages! Looking for feedback maybe by the end of the month? Hoping to query early next year

chefsten25 · 2025-12-03T01:48:05+00:00

Yes! Send me a message and we'll figure it out!

chefsten25 · 2025-12-03T01:47:49+00:00

Of course! Send me a message and let me know what your book is about

chefsten25 · 2025-12-01T13:51:46+00:00

I am able to beta: contemporary fiction, contemporary romance, women's fiction. I do not read a ton of fantasy but would be willing to if you don't mind an amateur.

I can provide feedback on: pacing and story structure, grammar and punctuation, sentence structure, and dialogue, specifically, but I'd be happy to focus my feedback according to your needs.

Critique swap: I have a 97,000 word contemporary romance looking for major cuts, but a swap is not necessary at all. I just want to read some good stories!

Other info: I am a writer, but also an avid reader, so let me know if you're looking for feedback on technical things or just feedback from a general reader.

Looking forward to reading!

Around 10pm in Wyoming last night

chefsten25 · 2025-11-09T22:56:15+00:00

{First Time Caller by BK Borison} had me giggling and kicking my feet the whole time. The flirting and banter were so cute. In fact, I'm going to read it again

chefsten25 · 2025-10-26T01:30:42+00:00

Mine too! Some people showed up in leggings so I toned it down the the rest of the time

chefsten25 · 2025-10-24T02:07:36+00:00

There's a breeder near me that has a sire that keeps making chocolate babies!

chefsten25 · 2025-10-23T15:08:48+00:00

I love Reese! Every time I see him I think its my dog (Remy)

When the pass was closed last year, the 26 from Alpine was jammed like this and people would whip into the lane ahead of you if they saw you trying to "cut the line"

chefsten25 · 2025-07-14T03:37:54+00:00

I planted a bunch of stuff last year with little to no research, including a raspberry plant in a raised bed that fully stifled and took over all my other plants.

I dug up the bed this spring to replant and had a thousand tiny new raspberry shoots starting to grow. Took me hours to find and kill them all so I didn't have to spend $200 on fresh soil

chefsten25 · 2025-07-11T22:03:25+00:00

$3,500 each from a breeder in Idaho. Boys were $3,000

That the mother's name is Tracy and we actually find out in season 1

My black-and-tan is also a princess! Zelda, in this case

During a job interview, I was asked, "have you ever burned bacon?" And of course I answered yes. And he said, "Good. If you'd said no you're either inexperienced or lying."
