Found an email in my spam folder written by AI trying to peddle AI art based on my book. I guess my writer’s journey wouldn’t be complete without encountering junk like this. #humanmadeonly

Kinda rude of From Software to hold the Duskbloods network test the same weekend as Megaplex.

Did the hard route on my first play through, and really loved it! I’m definitely out of practice with my hits, but I’ll get there again! #starfox

I had no idea the training raccoon in Star Fox 64 had a name, and now I love him in the remake.

The ending to both Hamnet and its film adaptation is one of my favorite things I’ve experienced this year. Not just in the context of the story, but in how art connects us all. A personal tragedy turned play, which in turn moves a theatre of highborn and low. Truly moving.

Got home from FWA safe and sound, but now having some post con depression and missing some friends. Thanks to the staff for fostering a wonderful experience. And thanks to everyone for gushing over my husband’s Stormtrooper/pupper fursuit and taking photos!

It’s the last day of FWA, and I have one more book I’ve planted for anyone to take home with them. This time, it’s in a nice, calm area in the Hyatt.

FWA! I’ve planted another book. This time, a hardcover and at the Marriott. It’s in a pretty strange room!

I’m here at FWA with the hubby and I’ve planted a copy of my book for anyone who finds it! I’ll also have a couple copies to sell if anyone is interested.

Seven years ago today, the hubby proposed to me on the fastest hunk of junk this side of the galaxy. To the only copilot I’d ever do the Kessel Run with and to future adventures. ❤️❤️❤️

Coming back to Pokemon after a few years is wild because you get to learn what new creatures they’ve come up with. Like Sinistcha, the ghost-type Pokemon that haunts a matcha bowl and whisk.

Eight years ago was the first date with my now husband. Little did we know all the adventures we’d share, the personal growth we’d witness, and how much gray I’d grow in my beard. Here’s to our wonderful future together, trooper. ❤️❤️❤️

Making a latte before getting some writing done. Not to brag, but I’m pretty darn proud of this leaf/feather I made with the milk. #writing #coffee #furrylit

I’ve got the foaming down, but my latte art technique definitely needs improvement. Is it a pumpkin or a corgi butt? Vote now on your phones.

My husband and I will be at MFF in a couple weeks. I’m excited and can’t wait to meet some fellow writers and attend some panels. If you’d want to say hi, look out for the golden laurel wreath on my head!

I ought to exclusively use Scrivener or get myself a Freewrite smart typewriter to write, because Word is getting on my last nerve with these bizarre suggestions/corrections.
