staci

also on here and threads @kennamoray.bsky.social but chances of me using these very much are slim to none

this is the one social media I haven't told yet (cos I'm never on here) but in a shocking ten year long journey and twist of events, I have?? a literary agent?? I'm an agented author?

let's connect on Instagram under my very secret identity (jk it's just my pen name)

beautiful end to the con, sad I missed it.

pine marten tattoo with thistles

been kinda absent (work, cat problems where I now have to inject fluids every 48 hours into one of 'em, etc.) but wanted to update on my finished tattoo. ✨ by Erika at Blue Torch Tattoo!

if anyone thinks, "wow, she's getting a lot of tattoos lately," just know it is excellent to spend some time being stabbed by needles and thinking about only that (unable to reflect on state of world during process).

anyway, this guy is how I feel at all other times. his face is a lil bloody rn.

halfway done with this tattoo!! he's a pine marten (think pan from his dark materials)

incidentally, I suspect the ones complaining are also the same neighbors who have (twice) stolen our food when it was delivered to their house by accident. building up a grudge here.

didn't mow the grass for two weeks and our neighbors complained to code enforcement... again... TWO WEEKS. like, I wish I had their worries.

Fun fact, JK—who is English—single-handedly funded the Scotland remain movement during the referendum, and called separatists “bigots”.

She’s the reason there’s no independent Scotland. She throws her money and clout around like she’s fucking Nigel Farage. She’s a billionaire corrupting politics.

I have become much more of a hermit this year (I know! they said it wasn't possible, and yet!) but I have read 16 fantasy novels and I'm in love with books again so I'm still winning. ✨

EAV never disappoints 🖤

it's weird to have basically written all of your life, work in marketing as a copywriter/strategist, and still feel REALLY EXPOSED about starting to share the type of writing you actually love.

would love to make a writer bsky account and get involved in that side of the community for solidarity before getting back into the querying trenches after ~6 years later in 2025... maybe once I settle on a pen name...

😂 I'm the Adam of the situation, that's basically what I did.

I'm chronically nosy 😂

went from, "we should stay in touch but keep it casual," to not-so-casual REALLY fast then had four years of long distance to endure which will just about ruin anyone's mental health but WE MADE IT.

at a hotel room party at dragoncon 2016 I was invited to through friends.

he was clever, upfront, and had a really cool job which made him seem creative and artsy (I online stalked him on my phone in the hotel bathroom after meeting him and then had to pretend I didn't know what he did already).

I paid $30 for Paris Paloma opening night of the tour tickets when they first dropped months ago and now they're $649 each on Stubhub..........damn

oh god it was 2019 that was six years ago

2025 is going to be the year I finish the fantasy novel I've been working on for [checks notes] three years? hold me to it 😭

there's no quarantine period required in the uk thankfully! and you can split private flights so pets don't have to go in cargo. costly, but worth saving for!

yeah the financial requirements have gone up. thankfully I'm not too worried about those (purelyyy because we have house equity that covers it), but moving the pets is gonna be the tricky part. 😅

starting to make our escape plan even though it'll be at least a couple of years before we can execute it

is moving to the UK so much more complex than moving to the US or have I just gotten less smart since I did all the US paperwork five years ago

gotta get through work and have the energy to block out the world so that I can somehow 💀

used to love them!!

haven't had a Celsius in a while so I bought some and had one today and I've been in fight or flight mode for about five hours now.

saw someone on reddit refer to it as the fast and the furious of fantasy books. 10/10 description.

like yeah, it's not high literature. the romance parts are heavy and not really my thing.

but it's an easy read, the dragons are cool as fuck, and it's women-led. sometimes I just want a fun read, man.
