I read this with the same cadence as a kid about to a somersault. Like Josh said “Hey, watch this!!” and then did a gay trick.

G'day from Oz #QueerWritersChat, it's the last 5 days to catch my December blog post

With doses of Diablo II detox thanks to a busted GPU fan, my weak heart needing urgent attention, and breaking some writer's block, it may have something for everyone

Biblical reference

Using the narrow pathways, with routes straight through, or winding. Up hill, down dale, and along valley’s, all those ways saturated in conscientiousness. It is known that when people stop causing the need for forgiveness, the need for it vanishes.~M&R.2025.

Ink drawings from my website for the short stories I've had published this year! I love drawing a little something symbolic to the piece, it brings me joy. :) You can read the stories at the links from my website (link in bio)!

The #frost cut to the bone, her boots crunching into the snow, face drawn while her thoughts reated on hearth and home

"Give me a wolf or mountain lion, anything to warm me up"

Janmar glanced her way. "The beasts are sleeping, so no warmth until we hit the Rumare basin"

I started doing my best writing to date post manuscript assessment

I might be bogged down in a massive overhaul, but I got past the midpoint in October, and after some floundering got 4 pages done yesterday in what should be a 7-8 page chapter

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.

Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.

Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

Individual links below but it’s all on itch: danifinn.itch.io

8th grade, walking home with classmates, one of them to me completely out of the blue:
-You're going to become gay one day.
First of all, walking with us was my girlfriend. Second, how the hell did he come up with that, what gave him the idea?! And most importantly, the joke's on him, i'm bi.
What's an insult you'll never forget?

For the little parts of me that are still unhealed from childhood, the popularity of Heated Rivalry and the way straight men in particular have embraced it is almost as fulfilling as watching the show itself.

I could have never imagined anyone in tears over a gay romance. youtu.be/-g2iuQjZRSA?...

Words aren’t enough to convince these moderate conservative and or liberal assholes in journalism why trans people shouldn’t have to continue being a debate topic. Doing politics the “right way” is just a weak excuse to uphold a system that slowly kills us.

She brought up a random trans woman doing something cringe and did the "I support trans people but" thing and Ive never hit the block button so fast. Not interested in whatever youre mad at, do it somewhere else, not at me. I think i might just be done dating.

It's the last few days to catch my 2025 Q4 short story Chosen Men before I put the next one up for January

Can Greg fulfil Gavin's unicorn bisexual dream of something meaningful with a guy? A chat, beers, lunch, and gelato might help out...
