All people have a right to exist in the identity that fits them best. We all deserve autonomy over our own bodies and identities. Trans rights are human rights.

One of the best parts of writing, at least for me, is when you have a basic concept, start researching, find some random detail, and suddenly everything clicks into place. I love that, it's what takes me from "this should be fun" to "I can't wait to write this!" #Writing

Time for my Year-End Writing Tally!
In 2025 I wrote a total of 368,00 words:
4 novels, 2 novellas, 7 short stories, 3 magazine articles.
That makes 2025 my 3rd best writing year ever.
So far for 2026 I have 1 trilogy, 2 novellas, & 3 short stories. We'll see what else turns up. πŸ™‚
Onward!

I wrote the first chapter on the new novel last night.
At the moment, I am writing without an outline. I haven't done that since No Small Bills. We'll see how long I last before I break down and build one, but for now it's fun. πŸ’™πŸ“š
