Defiantly soft; telling queer stories; making queer media

Rep: Stephanie Winter at KO Media Management.
I fear I am writing a book that will be inevitably accused of being "slow"

But I *LIKE* a lot of books that are accused of being slow, so I'm gonna stop being in my head about it.

SEVENTY THOUSAND.

My unofficial goal this month is to breech 100k. I genuinely don't think it will happen 😅 but I'm giving it a good try.

I wish I could write things like "She quit the room," but unfortunately, I'm writing a 21st century America novel and not a Victorian affair so I have to keep to "she leaves" which is not as yummy.

✅ In bed
✅ Lights off
✅ Weather brisk
✅ My bible-like library copy of Shirley Jackson's omnibus is open to a novel I haven't read yet.

Perfect vibes 😌

who wants to write a dystopian romance about a gruff, unhinged punk and his accountabilibot boyfriend?
Optimus robots will just kinda follow criminals around and make sure they don't commit crimes again, so we can eliminate prisons.

These are all things Elon Musk is literally saying.

I *really* liked Hungerstone.

It's a beautiful descent into chaos story. I loved it.
HUNGERSTONE IT IS.

For no real reason other than that I want to compare the Carmilla retellings.

(This one is a much closer retelling so far, only Abt 30 pages in.)

I'm thinking about how many of these stories deal with the view of the Self verus the way the world views you, and the importance of agency in a world built on oppression and WHY so many Victorian Gothic MCs are Governesses-- one of the few educated yet independent paths for women and

I think something that's really fun about reading classics outside of an academic setting is that I can follow a line of interest without adhering to any kind of set reading list.

I'm not creating course work for myself. I don't have an end goal. I'm just fucking ✨interested✨.

Also: I finally went to the library, please clap.

I started watching Marianne last night and now I don't want to do anything else but finish it 😅

I am GRIPPED--I love a protagonist who is actively falling apart. I love them MORE when they look like a lesbian. I love them EVEN MORE when they seem to be the cause of all of their own problems.

This November I want everyone to remember:

-it is not realistic to write every single day. There will be days you don't have time/have other priorities and commitments.

-writing 1667 words in a sitting is A LOT.

-Writing 50,000 in a month is not a sustainable practice.

Niche hot take today but Save the Cat's three-act structure, is actually a four-act structure.

like, what do you mean the midpoint is just in the middle of act ii--that's the beginning of act three?

Might have to take a detour from my TBR to read the hunger games after being gifted this Thrifted box set!?

~incredible~ thrift store find.

(Also I've never read it!)

Its literally the avocado toast thing again.

Once a week?! ONCE A WEEK. That maybe ~$50 a month is not make or break money 😭
“At the same time, more than half of Gen Z members say they are struggling to make ends meet, yet a majority buy themselves a small treat, such as a pastry, coffee, or sweet, at least once a week. That can lead to overspending…”

Listen, if you just followed me and you expect a lot of sexy art I need to inform you now this is ... Not that.

Mostly I complain about the novel I'm writing, and share snippets of the YA graphic novel I'm drawing.

Its sapphic, but not often nsfw around here.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
