Welcome to

building a creative life in the midst of a messy world

Writer. Creator. Mom.

I have a tendency to go on too long about art, life, and creativity.

hey there!

I’m Erin

I’m a writer, content creator, and mom trying to navigate life in my thirties with an unfinished novel and (soon to be) three kids. I’m just out here trying to create art and analyze the media I love without burning out.

I’m also a lover of indie video games, cups of tea with far too much honey, and (almost) every genre of music.

This space is functionally a collection of my essays about media, writing, and my life. It’s also a space for anyone who’s trying to piece together their ideal life despite an uncertain world.

If you’re looking to reach me, you can reach out via my contact form or email me at erin@erinlafond.com. Thanks for being here!
