Tracking Progress on Dance and a Recent Heartbreak
While the Socci family is working on multiple book writing projects simultaneously, it makes sense for us to start adding updates with the main topic in our blog post headlines. For today’s update, we will be sharing information on our manuscript in progress: Conflicted with Joy.
Celebrating the Concept of “Short Books”
Amanda had been swishing around the idea of writing a book and publishing it for a long time, sort of like minty mouthwash that makes you feel clean and fresh. It was but a dormant dream. The rest of us also eyed book writing and publication, but didn’t really do much about it.
So many updates! Titles, Descriptions. Book Covers
We are often apt to get frustrated because things are not going as quickly as we hope. The fire to write our second book came up on August 18. Today is now September 19. A full month has passed and barely any writing has been done. It seems there are tons of interruptions all the […]
New Book Writing Project Underway
We can barely believe all that has transpired in the last 2.5 weeks. If you read our blog post from August 20, you would have seen that we decided to change our plans abruptly. We were already in progress on writing our debut book, a faith-based memoir, but then, personal things started happening and those […]
Abrupt Change in Plans
In a move that makes no sense to anyone except Amanda, Amanda decided to briefly pause work on her current manuscript to shift gears and focus her attention on a separate project that has captured her attention.
Serious Website Revamp
In the last few days, we spent the bulk of our time working with WordPress to find another theme and customize as many things as possible, despite our limited technical knowledge. When we first launched this website on April 5, we chose a very basic, serene theme to fit our needs. In case you saw […]

Guess what? I’m not related to a Dictator after all. Hooray!
On day ten, which was yesterday, I wrote the final punctuation of my faith story involving my Latino and “Italian” heritages. I can hardly believe I had started off simply, and with great devotion, pushed through and managed to flesh out a full-scale memory of the entire landscape of my cultural identity. On paper, I […]
The Cringe Factor is a Useful Tool
The more I take away from my book, the clearer I’m seeing my book come to life. It is like peeling carrots, cutting off the useless ends, washing the carrots, cutting them finely once again, and starting the process of cooking them. I’ve been doing a good job of shaving off the peels of faith […]
Old Stories, new Titles
I am continuing on my path of reviewing faith stories I had written back in 2012. I love reliving my past perspectives. Everything I wrote belongs in a unique time capsule because it is filled with ideas and emotions that are no longer a part of my life.
