I am back after a long hiatus. Finished the first draft of my book, now I'm sitting on it for a while and working on another one while I lament the fact that I need to fix the whole thing lol

I'm pretty upset about Instagram and threads update, I don't like the idea of a companies TOS allowing forms of hate speech just because they want to protect people's right to be cruel and transphobic/racist.

I may or may not have been writing a few chapters of fanfic as a break from my main project.

I know it's great to read to keep your own writing sharp but how do you handle the inspiration that incites every time smh

A well browned prime rib over a bed of potatoes. The potatoes later got broiled I'm the steaks fat to crisp and brown on all sides

The finished prime rib being maneuvered by my partner And our longtime friend to flip

A cross section cut of the prime rib displaying a layer of fat that rendered into the meat. The prime rib is cooked to medium rare/ rare

The uncooked prime rib displaying the great marbling and fat distribution

Merry Christmas!!!

A look at the prime rib me and my partner did!

I am so happy today. Had great bread, 1st day of my weekend after a 9 day work week. Made some shrimp and scallop white linguine and my mother did the dishes without even being asked!

Great day

I work on the pride team for one of the biggest corporations in Canada and we're going to be doing a book club drop in meeting monthly.

If anyone has suggestion for queer LGBTQ+ stories, fiction and non fiction that we could consider suggesting or highlighting in this club I'd appreciate!

Sometimes I don't know if it's the writing the entire book that's hard or the vulnerability and rejection that's harder lol.

It's worth it though

I'm fine with using chat gpt for things like "give me a writing prompt" but I'd rather develop my own skills when it comes to outlining overcoming writers block and the like. I enjoy those things and I don't find the craft is about being efficient or trying to outsource my skills

When I get like this I often start reading or watching a new show or book. Can help with the creativity and sometimes just giving yourself space and less pressure to be creative and make something helps it cook in u

I love when chapters have a short stanza from a poem in them. I always go back and reread the stanza after the chapter to really get the meaning there

Right? Dialogue is amazing. One thing I hated about this romance I loved when I was younger was how the author completely glossed over and skipped writing out the dialogue scene of her characters walking around a lake sharing childhood stories. She just wrote that they did that. I felt robbed

Skeeeeeet!!!!

Not boring at all, I have a feeling a lot of ppl would choose it as their favourite too

Everyone has their favourite things to write.

Mine has always been dialogue, I love using it to show how characters think and who they are, so much so I worry I write too much dialogue.

What is your favourite?

born to recline romantically with a book, but forced to work

This is so beautiful!

Gah, I know it'll get fixed in editing but I'm hating having to pull this whole ending together kicking and screaming

Getting my PC updated. Going to keep rocking my 2080 I think for the while because somehow it isn't even the thing holding me back, it's my cpu

Have fun!

A plate of thanksgiving dinner; turkey, stuffing and gravy, homemade cranberry sauce, sliced candied sweet potatoes, with creamy mashed potato and kimchi brussel sprouts

Baked candied sweet potato made withHawaiian sweet potatos, purple sweet potatos, white sweet potatos and yams in a browned butter, brown sugar and maple syrup Cajun dressing.

The turkey thigh, with glistening browned skin and juicy meat sliced on the cutting board

Five plates piled high with turkey dinner on the table

You know what though?

Y'all deserve food pics

Thanksgiving dinner

A cat looking off camera very embarrassed he got caught staring

He'd been digging me for 45 minutes begging me to hold him all evening while I was cooking and eating dinner. This is my cats face when I caught him intensely sraring"

What is the amazon boycott about and why?

God I love that feeling of sleepiness after eating turkey

I'm really happy, one of my friends during thanksgiving took a break from family to finally sit down and write on her phone the start of a WIP inspired by the characters in BG3.

I'm excited to see where her writing goes

Remembering that time my housemate was trying to remember an actor and she said, "You know, he played that guy with the ears... in the Star Trek thing... Spock! He played Spock. Oh, I remember! Leroy Nimrod!"

And from that day on, in Star Trek or any other role, he was always Leroy Nimrod.
