Day one of Comprehensive Exams. Yesterday, imposter syndrome was hitting me hard. Today, nothing can stop me.

School has me on the struggle bus this week...if the struggle bus was driven by Ms. Frizzle during national public health week.

Secrets of the Walled City update: I went back to writing in a notebook instead of my laptop. Much more portable and somehow easier for me. Downside: I have no idea what my current word count is. #writing #mystery #fiction

I'm writing a letter of commitment for federal funding and it's SO hard to not use the list of banned words 😢

Writers! What apps/systems do you use to profile your characters? What has worked for you to keep all that detailed information organized and accessible?

As I get older, I'm coming to terms with the fact that I am, in fact, the Rose Nylund of my friend group. And I'm okay with that.

How many blank journals is too many blank journals? Asking for a friend..

It's me, I'm the friend.

I need a new word for "y'all." I don't use it in my writing, but I dropped it like 9 times in a meeting today and I just can't anymore.

You can't legislate away the truth, nor can you legislate away people and their very valid realities and identities. I remain dedicated to social justice and equity through writing and public health improvement. And my DMs are open if you need someone to talk to in these trying moments.

Secrets of the Walled City update: the Walled City officially has a name. And by official, I mean "this is what I've settled on before the editors get ahold of the manuscript."

Bit of a reverse Black Friday tip. Go buy a book from an independent bookshop. While the richest companies in the world have another bonanza, put a smile on the face of a struggling writer and bookseller. Thank you x

Hi Bluesky! I'm new here! About me: I'm a queer author of supernatural, magical realism mystery novels, an epidemiologist, a PhD student, and a husband to my... well... husband 😅 I'm a D&D nerd, plant dad, and like to get into the occasional shenanigan.

I may have reached that delusional part of my PhD program where I feel like I can resume all of my hobbies because the bulk of my coursework is almost done. 😅
