CW for stitches Tembo is doing good. He can get his pain meds twice a day. He's resting, and I'm keeping an eye on him all day. . . . . .

Forcing myself to take a break from Scapegoat. I am burnt out on the manuscript, and need to stop forcing it. Decided to work on another thing so I feel productive and don't keep running into a wall. If you're interested, take a look. Either way, thank you for your patience.

My late father is the man in the middle. This is the only picture I have of him.

The manuscript was supposed to be done this October... now I'm not sure if it'll be done by the end of this year. Life keeps happening, and it's getting under my skin. I just want this to be done so I can share it 😭 #booksky #authorsky #writersky #transauthor #blackauthor #indieauthor

I'm coming off the hypomania right into a depressive episode I'm getting the burnt out feeling from just thinking about writing for the manuscript 😭😭😭😭😭

Happy Release Day to Fallow Till We Bloom by @nikkinull.bsky.social! I read this as an ARC and absolutely loved it! T4T romance with spooky Harvest Moon vibes. Read it! You won't regret it! linktr.ee/nikkinull

The cover of Fallow Til We Bloom by Nikki Null.
It features a tall woman in a purple shirt and overalls reaching up to a man with short blue hair wearing a brown jacket. They are leaning in for a kiss. They are both leaning against a fence next to a tree with red leaves. Chickens surround them. In the background, mysterious dark figures loom.

This is our cat. The one we thought was put down due to rabies. That was just a random cat that wandered into our house. His leg is broken in two places and will be amputated after the infection is cleared up. He's in the furnace room so he can't go outside again.

Random cat that was drinking out of the water bowl two days ago at 4 a.m. showed up again last night. It's gonna go to the vet today as soon as it's open. The front left leg looks dislocated + she's limping bad. The poor thing is covered in stickers.

So, I am now my grandma's caretaker full time. This gives me plenty of time to write. However, I am burnt out from moving and the stress of the rabies scare, so I am going to try to either take a break, but I will attempt to write at least once a day. I want to finish this manuscript dammit!!!

Alright, back on the farm since finding a job that wouldn't have me on my feet the whole time wasn't going well. Will be interviewing for an at home caretaker position in the near future. Will be writing a lot till I'm working again.

I am light skinned enough it took me a while to realize the underside of my hands is lighter than the rest. It's something so small that I often forget it on my dark skinned characters. #handlereveal

Don’t judge a book by its review count. I met a fellow indie crime author who exchanged books with me. He only had 1 review. Started reading & it’s damn good! Review count doesn’t = quality. Sometimes great books just haven’t been discovered yet. Give indie books a chance. #AuthorSky #BookSky

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters It varies, Adonis yells and threatens/uses violence, Rowan bottles it up and dismisses things, and Arlo downplays it until it explodes.

Rowan's accessor Dude, whose birth name is forgotten to time, haunts the narrative both figuratively and literally. He left his position of prince in the year 13 and met Crone Aisley. #authorsky #booksky #queerauthor #blackauthor #indieauthor #upcomingbook #characterartintro #scapegoat

Rowan's collar is inspired by Maasai color symbolism in their beadwork (red for bravery, white for purity, blue for rain and energy, and black for wisdom). These colors have to do with him being King and his status as the Scared Lamb in the Church. #scapegoat www.visitnatives.com/post/what-do...

Rowan’s family history and tribe is based on my father's tribe: the Maasai! However, the mountain environment means Rowan only has jewelry inspired by Maasai beadwork. #transauthor #blackauthor #indieauthor #lgbtqromantasy #upcomingbook #characterart #scapegoat
