Tired, trans autistic oddball writing SF/F stories about others like him. Loves animals. NO AI. The (2nd!) slowest cyclist in Minneapolis.

98k/100k on adult sci-fi dystopia, HUMAN-ISH.
75k/100k on adult solarpunk fantasy, THE KING IN THE MOUNTAIN.

This November I'm doing neither NaNo nor Reedsy, but a secret third thing (my writing server's equivalent 😂) -- I have fully accepted that I can't hit the 50k goal, but I am really hoping to finish this draft of The King In The Mountain+more. I'll post updates below!

I love that my very sweet polite Minnesotan coworkers are all corroborating my story that I'm going back to "Hell" (Texas) this weekend, to the point where someone said "oh yeah Everett's going to Hell" very casually and my boss was horrified LMAO

Jokes aside I REALLY don't want to go back though 🫠

Just call my brain Pimp My Ride, because I always end up putting an extra book('s worth of words) in my book so I can book while I book (read: cry while I edit).

I always feel a little like two parts of me are arguing when I edit, lol.

The editor part of me says "we're here to trim the fat, idiot, you KNOW you're an over-writer so don't get so precious about it" while the writer part of me is clinging to the excess 15,000 words like:

so you see, my problem is I want to write this current book, and then another book, and then maybe one more, and I guess another wouldn't hurt, well I suppose I probably have time for another (I don't), and we're here already so why not one mo—

Basically this. Silas is recently divorced, slightly less-recently expelled from college and just had to move in with his sister. On page one he is solidly at rock bottom, drinking his blues away in a bar.

...Then someone starts talking about vampires.

I just realized I haven't talked about my 2 WIPs for this month!

The King in The Mountain is my primary -- friends lovingly call it the Weaponized Autism story (or sometimes the Vampire He/Him Horsegirl story), and yeah. It's all of the above. More below!

Watership Down is an incredible adventure about a bunch of rabbits in the countryside. It turned something anyone would see as mundane into a rich, vibrant and thrilling story that captivated me (and the fact that I was an autistic kid who preferred animals over people helped).

Hey, I'm Everett! I write queer SFF with a lot of themes about *society* n stuff.

I'll be working on 2 stories this month -- The King in the Mountain and The Price of Medicine, both fantasies (although wildly different!). I am hoping to hit 25k!

I just want to give a HUGE shout out to my immune system -- normally you and I are at odds (at best) but I can 100% feel you keeping it together by a thread and fighting off the upper respiratory bug that has full on destroyed half of my family in the last week. Kudos to you, you're a real one.

Green City Wars by @aptshadow.bsky.social

Philip Marlowe meets Redwall in this superior adult noir tale, where all the characters are animals, fighting for survival in the city underneath the humans.

AITA for forcing my (NB, 35) crush (M, 742) to relive his trauma by taking him to a museum exhibit about ancient royalty (I was just trying to make him tell me who he was before he became a vampire)?

I didn't know he'd be this upset! Now he won't talk to me! HELP!

We're going to need a loooot of vampire teeth for King in the Mountain...

For the healer story I think it'd come down to vibes. Can you get caregiver burnout and a crushing sense of hopelessness at the Spirit Halloween or is that an online order thing? 🤔
