"'Not really. Maybe a little. You are cute when you’re mad. Your nose scrunches up a little bit.'
Quin threw a leatherbound journal in response, now overly aware of his nose."
Some cute flirty banter from my pirate project. (Quin flirts through violence and threats- according to Emil.)

MM Book rec of the week- In Deeper Waters
Title: In Deeper Waters By: F.T. Lukens Tags: M/M, YA, fantasy, romance, cute as hell Summed up in a sentence: Prince has to go on coming-of-age tour and saves mysterious boy from a burning ship, then gets kidnapped by pirates (as you do). F.T. Lukens is one of my favorite authors, first of all. I read this a while back and recently went back to it after writing a flash fiction story loosely inspired by this book.

The Beginning of a Journey
As I reluctantly step out of my comfortable world of low effort social media posts and random writing exercises on my Substack, I find myself slowly discovering that graphic design is, in fact, not my passion. The trials and tribulations of creating a website, social media pages, blogs, and an entire world haven't stopped me yet, though. I plan on pushing through until I reach my goal of publishing Destiny's Ink.
