Coke Zero
A journal series about books, writing, reviews, notebooks, creative chaos, questionable scheduling decisions, and the suspicious amount of work that happens beside a can of Coke Zero.
The official archive of beautifully unreasonable creative decisions.
Reading updates, ARC piles, website chaos, launch notes, book damage, notebook evidence, and whatever project Lupe absolutely swore she was not starting today.
What This Series Holds
The messy middle, but dressed nicely.
Reading Life
ARC reads, audiobooks, NetGalley, BookSirens, Goodreads, book reactions, and the moment a story becomes everyone’s emotional problem.
Writing Desk
Drafts, edits, launch planning, book decisions, character chaos, and the attempt to build a writing career without exploding into tabs.
Creator Chaos
Website rebuilding, social media experiments, podcast notes, content systems, and the work behind the work behind the work.
First Post
Welcome to the Journal.
This series begins with a simple truth: some creative systems are built with spreadsheets, some with discipline, and some with Coke Zero, notebooks, too many tabs, and the stubborn refusal to give up.
The archive will grow as Lupe posts reading updates, writing notes, project logs, behind-the-scenes chaos, and bookish evidence from the desk.
Post idea
“Powered by Coke Zero, Tabs & Poor Life-Work Boundaries: welcome to the journal.”
Short. Funny. Bookish. Human. Perfect first post.

Fueled by caffeine-adjacent optimism and terrible boundaries.
The work is messy. The archive will grow. The tabs are already open.
