Welcome to my current wip… temporarily titled DARK.

This queer, historical horror novella has a monster that demands flesh, fucking cowboys, & more trans rage than I know what to do with. Aiming to be done with this by the beginning of 2026.

I’ll definitely be doing a daily update thread in a few weeks when I’m there! 💛

My outline for DARK wip is almost done, so I booked a short writing retreat for myself to start getting those words down! The lake is right outside and the owner has cats! ☀️

With everything going on in the US, it’s so hard to be creative.

Despite that, we need to create. Write it out. Write out of spite. Tear up the page with words. Until your fingers cramp and gasp.

I’m on a wonderful group holiday and as we near the end I fear that the human shape is faltering.

(Lycanthropy or neurodivergence?? The answer is yes’)

The reason that weighted blankets help my anxiety is that my body remembers what it is like to be swaddled in mammoth furs, and it yearns.

I absolutely love this pattern! 🥰

YouTube video by Willow Talks Books Romantasy Books are Toxic, Lazy, Conservative Propaganda

I have always struggled to articulate why I don’t enjoy typical “romantasy” books — so I’m glad Willow was able to do it for me! We should never tell people what they can and cannot enjoy, but this kind of critical thinking is important now more than ever.
