THE TRADITIONAL

“ABOUT ME”…

Hey there friend,

I’m Thalia and this is my blog. I am an aspiring author and future best-seller (manifesting). Originally from Upstate NY, I now live in the green and moodiness of the Pacific Northwest.

I won’t bore you with the traditional about me section because honestly, I want you to get to know me through my words. However, here are a few things to note:

  • In a happy and beautiful relationship with my partner, Miguel.

  • Cat Mommy to two: Pretty Boy & Nena.

  • Former Educator.

  • Masters in Inclusive Childhood Education.

  • Bachelors in Business Management.

The Good Stuff

Below is my official blog: It goes from my first blog to my most current so that people are encouraged to follow the story.

Blog #1: Every Journey Begins With The First Step

July 8th, 2026

I've recently decided to take a risk on myself and pursue my dream of becoming a published author. Currently, I am working on my first book (I've had this one in mind for many years and it has changed even more times).

I've never struggled with writing. It's something I've always excelled at. Expressing myself through written language has always been easier than words for me. And I am excited to share this journey with you all.

I want to use my platform as a new author to share my journey, my mistakes, tips and tricks I learn along the way, and hopefully inspire others to follow their dreams while I try to follow my own.

Thalia, out. ✌️

Blog #2: Lesson One, AI Writers Block

July 8th, 2026

The first thing I am learning: AI is one of the greatest writing blocks.

I've spent a lot of time sharing my ideas, thoughts, and research with my AI assistant. It's been easiest for me to keep track of all of my thoughts that I have so I don’t forget them. Eventually, when it came to starting my book over... again... I asked it to give me a summary of everything I'd said to it based on the topic so I could start forming an outline for my book and also remember a lot of what I've said.

It gave me summaries and chapter suggestions that I inputted for the bones of my book.

Big Mistake. HUGE!

Now that I have the time to sit down and start writing my book, it’s hard to cypher through what’s me and what’s AI. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve written for long enough and edited plenty of others papers/resumes/etc to know my writing voice very distinctly. But the time it’s taking for me to scrub stuff that clearly isn’t mine is so time-consuming that I might as well have started fresh with no AI summaries.

I’m not sure where I stand on it completely. I can see the benefit in having a virtual assistant to assist in keeping logs of my thoughts and notes. However, you would have to be very specific in your prompts that it’s logging your words rather than taking them in so that when you go back for it, it’s your words, not AI’s summary.Also at the same time, I think it can be challenging to then separate yourself from the assistant and can lead to writer's block for people who are really dedicated to their craft.

Anyways, I just want to share my experience so that others can learn from my mistakes, follow my journey, and take tips from my eventual successes.
