Did I finish Devilman Crybaby or did it finish me? Rewatching it was both painful and amazing. There's a reason why it's one of my top 10 anime, but damn, it hurts so much.

Who needs Grand Theft Auto VI when you already have Grand Theft Auto at home? 😏

Divine Flesh (forthcoming, Monstrous Angels anthology) x Neon Genesis Evangelion

Half-angel Iustivan lives a quiet life with his girlfriend until angel eaters devolve into unhinged savagery led by a vengeful angel he knows all too well.

I'm amazed by how I've managed to write 4 novels since 2021 (including rewriting a 109k draft into a 96k draft) while dealing with worsening chronic pain. Some days I wonder how I manage to get anything done. It doesn't seem like the pain will improve, but I'll keep writing.

I wish society wasn't so looks/appearance obsessed. I just want to write my novels and give back to my community as a nurse. I don't care to be judged for features and "flaws" that I cannot help. I don't care about being perfect or my body being tea. I just want to live as I am.

There's exactly ONE month until I can scream about being a published author! If a story about angel cannibalism sounds appealing, I hope you check out mine!

Every so often I remind myself that despite not having an agent, I have:
-Two degrees
-A solid career
-A wonderful partner by my side

I'm not behind. I'm right where I'm meant to be with so much more ground to cover.

Agree. I also extend this sentiment towards traditional publishing. Taking risks is scary but surely there's excitement to be had not falling back into a comfort zone, but exploring new worlds instead.
I'm really glad they're making more KPop Demon Hunters stuff but I also really wish they'd take its success as a lesson that a movie/show doesn't need to be part of an existing IP to be successful, and that they should take more chances on - and put more marketing into - wholly new stories

Between spending 9k out of pocket to save a sick stray kitten, finishing my rewrite, and becoming a published author next month, I think I've earned this.
October 16, 2025 at 4:36 PM
I'm going to be a published author next month!!

People will get to read about f*cked up humans eating angelic flesh and one equally f*cked up angel's crusade to disrupt the status quo and plant the seeds of chaos.

Prepare yourselves for grade-A f*ckery across the board.

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
My next project is a horromance 
About humans eating angels
And angels eating their own
Yum~

Being in love is dangerous cause what do you mean my angel cannibalism fantasy horror has a touch of romantasy vibes from the established Black main couple featuring a half angel?

Proud to say I've revised 200 pages in under 30 days! I can't wait to get this novel to betas. I can't wait to query next year. I can't wait to see what the future brings!

Burned out from revising over 150 pages so far this month, so I caved in and might've done a little writing for my angel cannibalism fantasy horror. For fans of angel eaters, cannibalistic angels, dead gods, and a budding romance amongst the horrors of the world.

Busy focused on my own lane because it's the only one that matters. Can't be drifting into other's nonsense, can't be led astray by other's progress. I need to focus on me and me alone.

Y'all ain't ready for when I turn my angel cannibalism short story (to be published in the Monstrous Angels anthology) into a full length fantasy horror about the lengths humans will go to consume angelic flesh.

Tell me why my revision plan/outline consists of 87 questions for me to answer? (And yes, I read through my novel and asked myself various questions to deepen my understanding of my story. It's my first time revising like this and it's been interesting.)

Torn between writing a necromancer x dead man romantasy or an Elden Ring meets Evangelion inspired science fantasy featuring dead gods turned into mechas. 😩

This reminds me of what the GOATs at Arrowhead Game Studios said:

"A game for everyone is a game for no one."
I’m sorry but as a creative you cannot be bending to the whims & will of a demanding audience. Good art will not appeal to everyone & your voice won’t either. It’s supposed to be this way. Anything else runs the real risk of being soulless consumerist drivel. Do yourself the favor & stay true.

Good morning from Jamaica.
August 2, 2025 at 4:27 PM
Life's been rough lately but in less than a week I'll be in Jamaica. I haven't been there in 8 years. It's like a second home to me and I can't wait to return.
July 25, 2025 at 1:35 PM
I'm going to Jamaica next week and I promised myself I'd relax during my time off, but I'm missing my science fantasy and would love to start the revision process now. I'm so torn. 😭

I just finished Act 1 of #Expedition33. Going to crash out in 3...2...1...

Being a gamer during the Steam Summer Sale is all fun and games (pun intended) until you realize you're a gamer with a wide palate and can't figure out what games you want. Do I buy another RPG? Do I buy a hack and slash? Do I buy a life sim? Do I buy a cozy game? Do I buy—
