#WIPSnips no "locker," but close enough! This is from my WIP novel 'Sanatoria!' which follows a grieving mother as she visits her estranged brother in Florida. Here, two stranger-cousins have a moment with Shelley the sea-turtle. #AmWriting #LitFic #WIP #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

"I never know what I think, until I read what I write." I don't recall who said this first. I do know that it's true. Your writing can become an automatic tap into your buried mental stuff and when you read it months later you will quiver in reaction. Self Sight. #writingcommunity #booksky #writing

#mayworldbuilders 9 Jumping in a bit late! Some civilizations in Pity use light tunnels — localized folds in space time near occupied planets that allow radio signals to pass over great distances instantly. Some more wealthy folks might also have quantum entangled devices. #scifi #amwriting

"Pity" is a sci-fi drama that interrogates the tragedy of power — set millennia in the future, Humanity has long ago conquered God. But not everyone's been let in on the spoils. A diffuse civilization runs on brutal exploitation, and Earth's at the heart of it. Will it last? #questpit #W #SF

17 is hard, but when you're set to take over presidency from your father, survive a ☠️ attempt, are betrayed by the two you love & learn your role is to maintain peace by keeping 200yo lies & manipulating the public or start the biggest war in centuries, 17 is REALLY hard. #QuestPit #Q #YA #SF #LGBT

Reposted my questpit post for KTMSF. I didn't know too much about the event, but my sister encouraged me to throw my hat in the ring after telling me about it! Got my hashtags right, and made sure the alt text credited the artists in my post! Sorry about bad formatting earlier!

Killing the Tetramorph in South Florida is a literary memoir addressing questions of lost faith, familial decay, and bodily shame. Set against the mythic backdrop of modern South Florida, a queer kid in a bad situation must ask "what does it mean to grow up?" #questpit #literarymemoir #Q
