PAST 100K WORDS. IT'S GOING TO BE FINISHED (HOPEFULLY BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR).
posting this as motivation for myself but Mostly because I want another excuse to share cover art drawn by @oddoblivion.bsky.social
man-made queer horrors beyond human comprehension coming your way (eventually)

I don't know what I believe, but I have hope. Hope that there's a place where I'm truly happy; a place where I can go outside without trembling; a place for me in the world that's defined in something more than writing. Maybe I'll never like myself. And maybe that's okay. I'm still here either way.

every time I look into the mirror & can't match the gaze of my own two eyes, I often wonder how people see me vs. how I see myself.
a friend, a stranger, a family member; all people that view me through their own lenses.
I hope one day I can look through my own & find something like they do.

very fun to know that I’ve written a whole ass book, multiple short stories, etc and yet when I need to write a 6-8 page essay for college my fingers all call out sick for the semester

There’s nothing more horrifying than your own mortal flesh! And maybe the true horror was the friends we made along the way :)
I write other stuff but nobody needs to read my research essay. It needs to be burned. The irony isn’t lost on me.

The woods are safety; the trees are home. But your mind skips like a scratched record as your vision flickers between this reality and the next.

I think the hardest thing I've had to overcome writing my first ever book is learning how to take casual rejection.
Some people don't like it; some people don't even like reading-- but having excitement for something where others don't care is a definite hurdle.

Finished up uni work for the week so I'm back to editing. I stare at the word count and feel both accomplished and insanely amazed at fanfic authors churning out 150k+ fics just for fun. As I type this out I realize that I'm also writing this for fun but. You get the idea lol

Tomorrow will arrive the same as always, and I will be there to see it. I hope to see you there.

Little fun fact:
A lot of things that inspired both Bram & Liam were older trans & queer people I got to meet and talk with. Liam's DI scars are a little messed up-- based on a person I met that had similar scarring & got their surgery done in a literal back alley in the mid 80s.
