So hard! You've got this!

Might have fallen down a dark hole and questioned my entire existence for the last four-six months. Convinced myself that I cannot write and there is no point in trying.

Happy to say that I am starting to come out of that place.

This comment is full of assumptions.

I love the thought that there are folks out there creating. A painting. A piece of music. A novel. A poem. A play. A garden. Some incredible piece of architecture. There are folks creating works that will indelibly change how he we see, experience, & feel the world around us.

Something that you will not find in any of my projects is the graphic, on page torture and killing of animals.

Hard nope. Do not want.

This is the first time I haven't been on a depression medication in a decade or more.

My appetite and emotions are flowing back in full swing and a bit intense but manageable.

So far I really like being off it but we'll see if that changes and adjust accordingly.

Oh cool just over here crying over a cat who was surrendered video because I am in fact tender hearted.

Also - I dislike people alot.

In many ways I have given up on writing slow burn and let my characters do what they want haha I love when the pining and thirst are high though and sometimes torture them.

Psst... friendly reminder:

You are allowed to take time off writing and not be hard on yourself for needing to rest.

It really is temporary.

Why is this always me too? 🤣

Having to be in a house with someone who refuses to take your tree nut allergy seriously is honestly terrifying.

Tell me my life means nothing to you without telling me.

My cat, Ashland, is the sweetest most annoying baby who wakes me everyday at 4am.

This has led to me getting up and getting coffee before playing sims4 instead of writing or utilizing the quiet time.

But also its kind of lovely.

I worry no one will like them sometimes but they are such vivid characters to me that attempting to change them feels wrong.

We all know audiobooks are reading. Saying otherwise is ableist AF.

Torn between wanting to work on two books simultaneously. Both sapphic fantasy romance. One with a dark fae enby love interest, the other a political intrigue with ethical non-monogamy. Both with unlikable FMC who have zero morals.

Maybe the answer is both.

Yes - both.

My wife left two days ago to start our new life in Germany after delays due to my having to have emergency surgery.

It's very surreal to know that in a few weeks my cat and I fly to Germany to join her.

I am existing in a place of excited apprehension that is making working very hard.

Writing a new draft for me is a whole process of relearning how to write even though this is the seventh book I've written. It's simultaneously hilarious and obnoxious.

This is so pretty!

It’s them I’m talking about them (art by @rosalynnart.bsky.social ☺️)

A headline from Vulture saying “You know what, fuck this. I don’t even care anymore”, says woman who continues to try very hard”

Writers continuing to write despite being fed up with the publishing industry and giving up in disgust
