Defiantly soft; telling queer stories; making queer media

At the risk of [checks notes] getting run off the app???!

Y'all, it's weird to want boobs on your animal crossing characters.

That's weird.

I'm sorry.

Children's games don't need secondary sex characteristics to showcase their femeninity. They just don't.

The temptation to ignore all other work until this draft is finished is overwhelming.

wdym I have to do other things? I'm writing the climax of the book!

Everythjng I read this year. 😌

Pay no mind to the star ratings. I don't do it consistently enough for it to matter, and I ONLY rate things 5 stars*

*Critiquing books is not my job. I don't need enemies in the publishing world before I even finish writing.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

"every 50,000 words you write you will improve"

Wrong. At 255,000 total words of this book I've only gotten WORSE and I'm making it everyone else's problem.

140,000 words which for reference, is about a 400 page book.

I can see the end in sight. I know how many scenes I have left to write. We are SO CLOSE and that is a THREAT.

I feel as if I'm in my 42nd week of pregnancy with this fucking book 😂

This is simply TOO MANY WORDS. I want to be DONE.

This baby is TOO BIG.

One time, at a convention, a man asked me if I would draw a woman he happened to have photos of ...without her clothes on.

So obviously I said NO and my entire weekend was ruined.

Which is the only correct response.

This post is about AI.

Just like, one more regular book length left on this chunker.

Maxmillien is the WORST. Eugenie is the BEST and I hope valentine doesn't get accused of murder 😬

Googling a lot of "how long does it take to walk from Kentucky to Kansas?" And then trying to figure out how my characters end up there in Winter.
I think one of the most interesting things I learned while researching this book is that when early American settlers moved out west, they didn't ride in the wagons. They walked alongside them.

A lot of settlers just... walked most of the way.

In 2026 I would love to *finish* the things I spent all of 2025 working on.

And I will. It is my year of finishing long form projects!

And starting new ones 👀 probably 👀👀

It's always the people who are upset that I made Hades and Persephone two gay women.
What’s the funniest reason someone got mad at you on Bluesky this year?

I want to keep sharing my progress, but every 10k words from here on out feels like a punishment instead of a reward 🥲

I'm obsessed with this Gregor Samsa necklace?!

Please, he's just a bug. 🥺 He's just a giant bug freak. He just wants rotten food and no milk and someone to talk to him. He just wants to hang out in the living room.

Sometimes, in hotel rooms, I'll turn the TV to the evangelical channel, just to make myself angry or something.

Once, I watched a Preacher tell his audience that it was selfish to prioritize paying their electrical bill over donating to the church.

So, y'know.
evangelicals might be the largest grifters to ever exist in human history lol

Come with me to see how much I can write today. Thirty minute sprints, 10-20 minutes in between (ish)

First sprint starts now!

See you in 30 with a progress report.

Did I take a break from the 1200page book I'm reading at 700 pages to go off and read an 800 page book? Yes.

But I'm back at it. Poisoners and affairs are HAPPENING, the count is manipulating the stock market, and the children are falling in love with the wrong guy. I'm READY.

The real ones understand that:
-Yes, Bluesky sucks ass
-but not half as bad as Twitter or Threads.

I did it and no one even helped me 🥲
The true tragedy of being single is that no one will fold my laundry for me, no matter how cute and pathetic I get. :(
