Where I'm Writing

Currently at work on manuscripts across two very different genres: first, a memoir chronicling the search for my Korean family, which explores themes of loss, family, and identity. I'm also at work on several children's picture book manuscripts. (Though now that I think about it, these genres aren't so different!)

I'm also on Substack! Visit and subscribe to Well So Yeah and follow along with my latest essays, personal and professional news, and to join a community of incredibly bright, insightful, curious women.

Some History

Formerly known as vmac+cheese, I began writing my blog in the summer of 2008. Like so many bloggers, I needed a good creative outlet (in my case, to share stories about life as a recent culinary school grad and fledgling freelancer). And, like so many bloggers, things fortuitously snowballed with my work online turning into a community, then a few projects, then a studio, then a career. Long live the Internet!
