Miracle on 34th Street.

Spirited.

Feeling that Christmas morning feeling! 🎶

4K drafted today! Here’s where I chaotically try to get in as many words as I can before my kids go on summer break.

Less than a week to go!

What happens when you are a fairy godfather and your characters start to go rogue?

It took me a bit to get there, but I’m actually a pretty good driver.

So why do I drive like a lunatic in my dreams?!? And why do the breaks always suck?!?

Aesop is a fairy godfather who has never once thought about his own happy ending. When a glitch in the fairytale generator produces Jessie, a wilfully unprogrammed character, he’s forced to consider what it means to be ‘real’.

“Not the only what?” Nate huffs, and I get his frustration. It must be a SPECIAL kind of torture hearing and not understanding.

Because no one seems to see what I say on this platform, I’m gonna whisper a secret…
I’m considering writing a gender bent Beauty and the Beast retelling with neurodivergent characters and writing in the dedication:

For the girlies who were disappointed when the beast turned into a man.

To write the burning new idea, or persist with the 20k of a WIP you currently have?!?!? 🤔

Watching Casper with the kids. I wonder how this has aged?!

All I recall is the roller coaster to the secret lab and “can I keep you?”

New WIP wants to be in past not present… well here goes changing five whole chapters! 😂

Started a brand new WIP! These characters are so new and fresh, and I have no clue how they are going to react to the madness I’m throwing them into.
