Finally went to an in-person writing group for the first time in years, and it was amazing! Why am I not doing this more often? (Because of timing, that’s why.)

The #NaNoWriMo org may have died under a mountain of scandals, but the drive to create lives on. You don't need an org to write a book. Happy creating to all those who are writing this month. ❤️

Have I secretly (not so secretly) started plotting the sequel to my very gay adventure fantasy, Blackblade, while I’m revising the first book? Maybe.

I absolutely shouldn’t be putting together my own “75 hard for authors” challenge, but after seeing it floating around on Youtube, I’m very tempted.

MS Word on the iPad is very reliable.
It does exactly what I want it to do exactly 40% of the time.

I’m rereading my high fantasy adventure novel that I haven’t touched in a year, because I want to revise it.

I’m surprised to discover that this book is actually very good.

Dear grammar checker,
When I say “not even”, I do not mean lopsided, and I do not want you to replace it with this “more appropriate” word. Ever.
Best,
Your frustrated writer friend

To win the meds he’ll die without, Avery joins the world’s most competitive job interview:
🌏 return to the dead Earth
🚀 build a spaceship from scraps
💫 fly it back to Titan
💔 team up with his rival ex
🗡️ kill him before landing
🖤 I said kill, not kiss…

The only way for off-the-books engineer Avery to win the meds he’ll die without is to enter a dangerous job contest. He must return to a desolate Earth, build a spaceship and fly it back to Titan. Should be easy, if not for his vengeful ex who's the best pilot in the competition.

When a terminally ill engineer applies for a deadly job interview, he not only faces a desolate planet, but also his bitter ex. His one chance to win the meds he needs rests on them working together to escape Earth.
But only one can win, & it means betraying each other. Again.

Did I just collect 300+ questions to revise the character profile of the MC of the spec thriller I’m drafting? Absolutely.
Will I ever respond 300+ questions about my character? Very unlikely. 🫣

I shared the character art yesterday, but here it is again today:
Meet Avery, 29yo space engineer picking up illegal jobs while hiding on the lowest level of the last crumbling city on Titan.
Smart, talented, and a dreamer constantly crushing his own dreams.
Definitely Pisces.

Happy #DVparty!

The Liminal Knight is a very queer, very trans story about:
- liminal feels and the need to be "enough"
- love & acceptance from within & without
- Big Gender Feels
- autonomy
- having 0 social skills but making a move on your crush anyway bc a sentient world wants your body so YOLO
