Really happy with my WIP so far in this round of edits.

Definitely gonna add more smut just because.

A treat for readers who deserve it 🤤

My husband is Jewish, so obviously, he has our Christmas tree out already. 🫠

My in-laws came to visit and said that they've been looking for books, horror and non-fiction. I went to work. They're gonna need to make room for their flight.

I hope you get as cozy as Pebs tonight 💜

I live in America—more to the point, Im sick in America. The only way I can get the meds I need is w/ Patreon.

Writers get lots of lessons on building craft & honing skills. Readers get VIP access to my books and art. Everyone gets an amazing Discord community. $5/month makes a huge difference!

The bad news is my Patreon membership dropped low enough that I had to stop refilling some of my meds.

The good news is that I now know exactly what those meds were doing for me and that they worked quite well.

Not upset at all at those patrons! Life is terrible. Very upset with my body, though!

Just a reminder that writing a book, being creative, in the current state of the world is heroic.

Keep creating.

Tonight's self-care is letting Hubs take care of all the end-of-night stuff while I go to bed early. My body and mind both need it.

Many of you were extremely kind to me today. Even more of you need some kindness. Either way, know that I'm thinking of you, rooting for you, standing in your corner 💜

No way am I gonna sit by quietly while people starve.

I grew up unhoused more often than not. I went hungry a lot, and when we did have food, it was thanks to programs like SNAP and foodbanks. I know what it is to be hungry, and I know how that trauma sticks your entire life.

Let's try to help.

I'm depressed and sick and stressed, and I bet you are at least one of those, too.

I'm spending the rest of the night reading and playing Mass Effect. What are YOU doing to take care of yourself??

My first book review of November goes to my only ARC in 2025 and my only 5-star read in October.

DARK & ZARUS is a must-read!

(Book reviews are free to access, but paid tiers help me stay alive, which is pretty mandatory for reading. Please consider subscribing!)

Good morning. You probably dont need that comma before 'because' but you do need to be nice to yourself today. 💜

Santa Fe is also electing our mayor today, and hubs is in line now (it's 6pm, line is open til 7). He expects to be in line for several more hours with the turnaround. Proud of our little city showing up.

(Don't get worry I voted by absentee ballot—no lines and crowds for me)

Good morning. You're a writer even if you don't write today, tomorrow, this entire month. You're a writer because of the stories in your heart, even if you can't get them down for now. 💜

If you donate $5 or more to any foodbank or organization in November, show me a receipt, and I'll send you a free ebook of TEMPEST, TAKE ME HOME.

One of the main characters and I both grew up unhoused and hungry, and we relied on the kindness of others to survive. Help me give back now.

Building a business as a freelance editor can be damn hard. In this lesson on my Editor in Training tier, I get into the common business building issues and resolving them. We both want you to build a successful business, and I want to take some of that stress away!

And because this year cannot stop being weird...today, this dog followed me home! No tags so we're working on getting her home!

Halloween is a hard anniversary for me. Tonight was extra hard bc Monster & Bear are on the ofrenda and Idk if I can afford November's treatment.

But we're cuddled up for movies. We helped local foodbanks and will keep doing that.

No idea if I'll make it to next Halloween, but tonight was good.

I know things are bad, and I know there are a lot of causes out there that deserve your attention...

My Patreon is getting dangerously close to the point where I won't be able to afford chemo and all the care I need. If you can afford even $3/month, please take a look.

IT HASN'T LEFT, GO HOME BIRD 😭😭😭
Wrestling Pebbles away from a bird who got stuck in our house was not on my to-do list today.

In case you were wondering, I can defeat a 65lb pitbull with a prey drive in a wrestling match.

But no, I cannot catch a bird.

It's in a room alone w/ a door that opens to outside. Please pray it leaves.

My brain wants to overthink and can't find anything to actually overthink AND I AM UNHAPPY.

It's very strange to both love autumn and have horrible SAD. Like, this season wants me to hurt myself but is also my favorite??

Yeah, not telling my therapist that one.
