The worst part about taking partial social media hiatus is marketing everything you’ve since accomplished. I finished my dark fantasy sequel and have since released a Victorian Gothic PNR/ vampire romance. #writingcommunity

I’ve lived in this world for six years now,m; today I got to see my Medieval Dark Fantasy world come to life on paper. Vampires, Fae-inhabited ruins, enchanted forests... it’s all there. Thank you to my talented fantasy cartographer, Cass Merry, for bringing Brocéliande to life. #writingcommunity

Ya ever just see you’ve been typed a full paragraph and just ignore it and go make yourself a tea, read a book and enjoy whatever part of your day it was going to try to ruin. Love that.

It might be because they’ve been my comfort genres for as along as I’ve been able to read, but I love predictable fantasy, vampire fantasy, & paranormal romance just as much as I do the high-stakes, unpredictable tales. They’re my comfort tropes. GIVE ME MY SILLY COMFORT TROPES.

Absolutely floored with this game. I’ve never played anything like it, I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the storyline or characters. No notes.

Ceffyl Dŵr / Water Horse of Welsh mythology

A green horse diving through murky water, its tail and mane mixed with reeds carried by a trail of bubbles. Surrounding the horse is a mixture of aquatic plants flowing in the same direction.

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

Something wonderful happened yesterday. My still life painting has been accepted into the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London (26 March - 5 April)! It's beyond my wildest artistic dreams! Up to and including then, I will be walking on air!

A watercolour painting of a quirky collection of objects, mostly blue and white china on a blue and white cloth, but with an orange and some orange-handled scissors included too.

Themes of sisterhood showed up in my dark fantasy series in a way I never, ever intended. I’m one of five girls. Oh wow, who would’ve guessed she was never meant to do it alone.

Ever get the desire to reach back out to all of the good people you've encountered throughout your life and reconnect with them because the world doesn't make sense anymore and you just want to be reassured that they, along with kindness and decency and empathy, still exist? Yeah, me too.

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

In my years of reporting on LGBTQ news this was by far the hardest. But we are still here. You made it to Friday. You lived. Good job. That wasn’t easy. Through a diversity of tactics, we will continue to live. Rest up, drink water, find community, so that we can all be here tomorrow too.

In one of my YA edition Disenchanted book reviews, months before I brought any of this up to my providers, someone said something along the lines of “i loved the mental health and autism/ ADHD rep in the FMC” and i was like… what does she mean 🤣😂

There is no “Brenda Song Renaissance” Brenda Song has consistently been on television since the early 2000’s. I don’t think sis has taken so much as a sick day. Maybe you’re just having a Brenda Song Awakening??

Couldn’t sleep since 4 so I’ve fleshed out nearly all the big scenes for my third book. I’ve never done this before, it’s all outlined. All of it. I expect it to be just as long as Disillusioned. I write my outline to myself in text and then back them up.
