Did I hear you say you wanted a queer fantasy that has ancient forbidden magic, a twist on the good old mentor, a snarky prisoner-painter with a soft heart, and a curious scribe who might just doom them all?

A do-nothing day on vacation means I can get a whole chapter written in one sitting! Hell yeah. 🧡📚🏳️🌈

Writing through the horrors, by writing horrible things happening to my characters because I know they’ll have an okay ending that I can control. My girls will be traumatized, but still moving forward and stronger for it.

Writing Book Five. Just thought of a devistatingly cool punishment for one of my main characters. You think death is bad? Wild Nature is UNFORGIVING! 🍄🟫🌳😈

I’m writing an intense chapter in Book Five in Misti’s POV and I had to dive deep back into Book One to recall this particular pain point. Honestly, it’s both fun and terrifying to be writing the final book in my sapphic high fantasy series.

Happy New Year, my fellow adventurers!
I hope this year brings that phone call you were waiting for, that contract to sign, that chance to write “the end”, and that lovely community to be a part of.

Worked on my WIP for 30 minutes. Started a scene. Unsure if I like where it began because there’s a time skip. Might cut it later but at least I got some words down. 😂🤔

Worked on my sapphic high fantasy WIP today and had to research “what does it feel like to be stabbed” and “would a stomach wound kill you”?
This chapter got REAL intense, real quick. 😁

It’s cold outside, so baby it’s time for some more homemade soup! This one is a quick ramen-style soup with chicken broth, seaweed, rice noodles and a ton of garlic plus a boiled egg on top! So warm and comforting.
