Now that RENEGADE ROYALE is out, I can answer the most important question: Yes. Of course we did a Revolutionary Girl Utena.

Gender is a performance and somehow I was assigned a role even though I did not audition.

One of the weirdest parts about being a writer is that some days I'll struggle to get a single word on the page; others, I'll write 4 pages in a blink. And yet, not a day goes by where I'm not obsessively imagining all the cool scenes I'm excited to get to! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Gender is a performance, and I only allow well-behaved audiences in my theater.

I had to cut nearly 50 pages from my WIP today. I thought it was going to hurt, but it mostly just felt right. I'll need to draft new pages to replace them, but without the extraneous cruft weighing this section down, it really will work better.

Hm, debating what I want to read next. I've started Kiki's Delivery Service by Eiko Kadonno, but I'm not sure I'm in the mood for something so cozy. I guess I could read The Day the Fire Died by DM Gilmore cuz it's so short? Decisions, decisions...

Came on here to tell you all that I, an old person, thought Kpop Demon Hunters (Netflix) was fantastic. So fun and a great escape from reality while also being surprisingly deep about inherited trauma via extremely catchy kpop songs

KPop Demon Hunters is PEAK fiction. Literally started getting misty-eyed at the climax.

Describe a favorite movie in the most misleading way possible.
