I've both glad to be back at it and glad I let it percolate for a bit. I have some new ideas that make me so much more excited to write it!

I'm digging back into an old project: a sapphic Robin Hood retelling on a generational space station (told from Marian's POV) It's been simmering in the back of my mind while I worked on other projects, and I'm excited to dive back in #lgbtqwriteathon #writingcommunity #queerwriters #lgbtqwriters

Hello! I'm Jes, and I write queer sci-fi and fantasy. I welcomed a new baby into the family earlier this year, so everything went into survival mode. My main goal for October is to gently dive back into a shelved project and rebuild some writing muscles around it. Any progress is a win.

You can track Artemis II via this link at NASA. Earlier today, humans left Earth's orbit for the first time in over 50 years. We are going to see things that haven't been viewed in half a century with a clarity that was unthinkable before.

NASA: Artemis II

Artemis I will be the first in a series of increasingly complex missions to build a sustained human presence at the Moon for decades to come.

If this Gaston movie happens, this the only version of him I want to see.

When I left Michigan last week it was fall. When I returned yesterday it was winter. Cue me shaking my fist at the (way too prevalent) clouds.

Tried a new therapist today. 20 minutes into my spiel she looks at me point blank and asks, "So, have you always had control issues?" I've never been called out so fast and so accurately in my life. 😂

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Tried to do a photo shoot of Undeniable with the cat. She immediately went to her buttons and pressed "All Done."

A Tabby cat looks up at the camera with her ears back. A paperback copy of Undeniable sits in front of her.

Roving hovers near her button board, looking scandalized.

It's honestly one of my all-time favorites. Between the music, the topic, and the sheer skill of the actors playing so many roles at once... I love everything about it.
