It is my 40th birthday today. Happy birthday to me!

I would love if people bought my books for my birthday. You can find them at secyborski.weebly.com

I just finished watching #IronLung and omg it was brilliant. I love the slow burn existential/eldritch dread and horror. I also love bottle movies and this one exemplified that.

So good. So fun. Need a dvd release

Got the colors for the first afghan finished. Now I just gotta piece it together

I am crocheting with a snuggly cat

Had a #query day today and came up with a comp comparison I'm really proud of

"Angels similar to the Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh with vibes of The Goblin Emperor almost in reverse for Lucifer"

10 of 32 squares of this first color for the first nibling afghan. Both are gonna be a checkerboard pattern

Getting to work crocheting afghans for my niblings. It's gonna be a checkerboard pattern. Also doing a Swat rewatch while crocheting

Made some wax seals for Halloween cards my mom and I are sending to my brother, sil, and the niblings.

I am so happy with how they turned out

I got my shipment from #StonefoldKingdoms today. For Christmas a few years back, my mom pledged for tier 4 on their kickstarter.

I am so delighted. This is amazing. When I start dm'ing again, I've got great maps

Preordered the Nice advent calendar from @diceenvy.bsky.social and received it today.

Already opened it because I have no patience lol. I am. Delighted

I've been playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 lately and I am obsessed. I want an Esquie plushie soooo bad

Sent more queries today. Hopefully my manuscript intrigues a literary agent enough for them to want to represent it

Mexican Gothic is such a good book. I loved it so much.

A+ gothic horror with a side of body horror and a personal phobia of mine.

10/10 would recommend and read again

One reviewer I had for a short story collection that contained some horror stories was angry that bad things happened to characters, including teenagers. They were specifically incredibly upset a character endured abuse from childhood into her early 20s

Throwing this out into the bluesky sphere.

Is there any #literaryagent open to #queries looking for queer urban fantasy that is a twist on Christian religious mythology?

It's so hot my cat Nyx melted on the balcony

A short story contest I've entered has now started judging 🤞

I have fallen into the sinkhole that is Dredge. I'm having so much fun playing it. I'm also ignoring the main questline in favor of just fishing.

Look, I'm a completionist. Give me an encyclopedia to fill out and I absolutely will

I submitted my short story today to a #writing #contest I entered. Fingers crossed and now we wait 🤞

The Games Gods Play by Abigail Owen is such a good book. I devoured it in a single day and I'm highly looking forward to the next book

So apparently, there's an article saying that a good portion of authors are using ai in their work and keeping it secret.

I am stating simply and clearly that I do not and will not use ai in any of my writing. Ever. Nor have I in the past

A friend told me that one of my short stories is one of the best things I've ever written, in their opinion, and they never wanna read it again.

I am delighted

The Cygnus region of the Milky Way, including the North America nebula and a meteor. Not the best shot in the world I know but this was shot in Bortle 5 sky area which is very light polluted, so it pleased me.

Enjoy your day, evening, night #bluesky friends.

I'm all for hyping. My most recent book is Ways Love Begins, which is a collection of sapphic urban fantasy monster stories and urban legends

I have open #writingcommissions Due to a family emergency, I need to raise about $13k. Anyone want to me commission me? I write poetry and short stories, including fics.

And if anyone wants to commission me for the $13k, we can discuss and I will write just about anything

Still in the querying trenches. Got two rejections today but I still have some out.

Fingers crossed

Also on the heels of my last post, I realize it's been a while since I posted anything. Things have been hectic with me, with helping a family friend with health issues and losing two cats within a couple weeks of each other.

But I am still here and am still a writer going mad hehe 😉

Had a query day today. Fingers crossed an agent likes Gambit
