Bouncing in here to say hi, I'm still writing. I'm still around. Just been a bit busy and not motivated to post on social media much recently, largely due to The Horrors™.

If only the notes I type out half-conscious at 3am were a fraction as terrifying and cohesive as the dreams they came from, I'd be tradpubbed already

Writer problems- sit down to write for the first time in like a week with my cup of tea and the nice keyboard, only to immediately lose a half hour to researching the NYC subway system, followed by a half hour of cat distraction. Words were put on a page though!

Well it's official, my querytracker subscription has lapsed. One year since I tried to pitch This Used to be Home to the tradpub trenches! I'm still so incredibly proud of my little book, someday I hope to share it with the world, but it was a risky choice to query in the first place 💙

I feel like I should work on writing more short fiction (drabbles, flash, short stories, etc.) but bridging that gap between poetry and a full on novel is so deceptively difficult

The things I would do to back in time 10-12 years, before AI, before I lost so much time to people who didn't care about me, back when the only things I ever had to worry about were turning in papers & not missing the bus. Sure it wasn't a perfect world, but at least there was some semblance of hope

What do you mean I have to write the next chapter and that when I reread my own work, there won't magically be a new installment at the end? That's bullshit, I wanna know how the story ends

The Internet as a whole is so much more enjoyable if you approach it like you're forever stuck in 2013. Algorithms? Who cares. Someone starting shit? They're probably a troll, don't feed em. Advertisements? All scams, do not engage. All that matters are rage comics and cat memes.

Ch.2 of Pedigreed Primadonna up and complete, now to switch back to Daywalker I think. Then maybe BtC or the DFtR prequel I've been scheming, but also Oshamir masquerade piece I started a while ago and still need to finish.... Too many choices 😓

How tedious it is to ride the ebb and flow of inspiration. How tiring to feast and hunger for ideas in equal measure. This is about explicit fanfiction btw. Entirely optional, yet so essential to my ongoing tenuous grasp on sanity.

Edward Hopper @edwardhopper.bsky.social · 17/01/2026
In the 1920s, automat cafeterias were among the first public places where women could dine alone. Automat (1927) captures that new urban freedom—and the reflective loneliness that came with it. Is this what it feels like to be free?

Maybe it's bc I'm back on my meds, but I'm strongly tempted to write a collection of poems based on the work of Edward Hopper (of Nighthawks fame) someone tell me to finish the projects I've already begun before starting a new one

Had some fun with this one! I thought I was being terribly obvious picking the vampire prompt given my recent vampire fixation, but it was neat to write a different kind of vampire for a bit. Ch.2 is halfway done, hopefully will be finished soon!

Big thanks to @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social and @vanwinkle.bsky.social for including my work in this anthology! It's surreal to hold my work in a published volume like this. One copy has a place of honor on my shelf and the other now resides at my local public library.

2025 was really a great year for me writing-wise, if for no other reason. ~188k on AO3, published a poem for the first time in ~10 years, made some new friends, queried for the first time, and just finished a new story I hope to adapt to original work in the new year. Here's to a productive 2026 🥳
