Forgot to post my 2026 Author Goals here on Bluesky (maybe if I post them in enough places I'll hold myself accountable!)
2025 was a bit of a disappointing year for me author-wise, but I'm trying to head into 2026 with a more positive attitude!

Once tried to claim that conception helps to prevent pregnancy (contraception, Sarah, contraception!)
This was in a uni essay that I did submit. My lecturer literally just commented '?'

December 14th for the last ten years has meant a queer story or retelling inspired by a holiday story or song. Here’s this year’s offering: "A Winter’s Hourglass," inspired by "Let it Snow" and offering two revisits to tales that came before.
I hope it reminds us of a truth: we’ve always been here.

Or maybe once again I'll be left questioning if I even read a single book this year?

Just a reminder that Freydis Moon's new book is going to released tomorrow and that they are NOT Latinx or Mexican. They are a serial Brownfisher who loves to appropriate and steal from BIPOC people and be a cyberbully on top of that.
Please give your money to real Latinx Authors instead.
