OMG what is wrong with you 😂😂😂😂😂

Also damn I haven’t thought about Rollercoaster Tycoon in ages! I used to spent way too much time playing that

Been meaning to dive into the other stories in this anthology for a minute… excited to revisit the Phenomenons!

Unplugging from the world tonight 📖

Just proofed my stories for PRISM! Can’t wait to share this 1980s retro spy thriller with y’all!

Been a minute since I made this shape on static trapeze 🎪

So excited for this anthology!!!

“What other side???”

ZOOMIES!!!!!!!

Haha yeah I’ve definitely started a spin on lyra thinking it was moderate… then regretted my choices but it’s too late to do anything 😅

Haha fair enough… I don’t love spinning on lyra either… I always get dizzy 😅. I feel like on silks you can’t actually go that fast because of all that fabric

Dang revisiting a fantasy world you first started building over a decade ago is hard… There’s all this mythology that I’m sure I could’ve rattled off back then but now I feel like I’m studying a history of places I made up 😅

Cozy cabin getaway for the long weekend 🧙

my Trek Long Island schedule I will be returning to Trek Long Island next weekend for their third convention. Held at the Hyatt Regency Long Island in Hauppauge, New York, this Trek convention is full of wonderful guests, incl…

Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️❤️

Having tried pole all of twice I feel like it’s somehow similar and different at once… like fundamentals such as inverts and knee hooks are similar but of course one is a pole and the other is fabric? lol pole is so much harder IMO… I need fluffy fabric to lie around in 😁

I’ve got the sequel outlined and everything — it’s been outlined since… oh heck, I don’t remember.

Lemme start by rereading this thing to see if I even remember what it’s about…

They say being a writer means giving yourself homework for the rest of your life…

So here I am, thinking about completing an assignment I first set for myself in 2014… or was it 2013? Anyway, I finally published Windborn in 2020 and I’ve been meaning to get back to that world ever since.

Normally I’d be writing a triumphant “OMG it’s finished” post upon completing a short story but this one is so late it’s more like “ugh, finally!” Still, writing 2 9k-10k word short stories in 1 month ain’t bad… and now I’m deadline free!

Out of sorts because I was gonna work on one short story but turns out I don’t have what I need for that, so I should just work on a different project… but my creative brain was still in the first one and I can’t seem to make it switch 😫

Played TKTS roulette and ended up seeing a play I otherwise wouldn’t have known about (because I’m woefully ignorant about these kinds of things), and I loved it! Retrograde is a sharp and witty play about a meeting between Sidney Poitier, a “good liberal” writer, and a cutthroat studio exec

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.
