Bloopers are my favorite part of making videos.

It makes us more human. Like we aren’t just some curated video for a feed.

So, here’s a video I recently recorded and fumbled. I obviously re-recorded, but I kept this because I genuinely had a good time and you can see that here 💖

Do you save bloopers or do you keep them cut out?

When I tell you I’m obsessed with [redacted] and [redacted], I mean I’m O B S E S S E D.

Because what do you mean they just met and he’s already falling? 😩

There are so many new faces here, so I wanted to introduce myself.

Hi!

I'm Darlene Rodriguez. I'm a romance author who writes to remind readers they are never too much, never alone, and are worthy of love just the way they are.

But I am also so much more. I'm a...

- sister, aunt, daughter, niece, cousin, granddaughter
- loyal friend
- ex airline agent
- book gremlin
- 'look at the sky & pretty flowers' girl
- karaoke singer
- disabled baddie
- puerto rican
- scorpio
- 'do it yourself' kinda girl
- dreamer

And, I know you're so much more too.

Swipe through the slides for a karaoke video (with sound 🫣), and let me know if we're more alike than you thought. 💖
