One of my current three #WIP is unusual for me, as it is undoubtedly more YA than I usually write. But I guess that's what happens when I decide to follow a later MC in his teen years. 😂 #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #AmWritingFiction
Who is torturing that poor piano? Jacob wondered as he approached the music room one morning before school. He winced as the unknown player struck a flat note and jumbled the melody, so he peeked into the room. No one was in the primary classroom, but the practice room in the back, which Jacob often claimed for himself, was clearly occupied. As he approached, he noticed another guy from his grade frowning as his fingers stumbled across the keys. That’s the cute guy from my English class, he realized. He’s also on the football team with Matt. Damn, what’s his name?

I'm not so sure I've changed all that much aesthetically... But I did hunt for the shirt! And while I couldn't find it in black, I did find a red variant! 😂 I'm gonna keep searching for the black, but for now, I have a bit of my young, edgy self back. hahaha! #ElderMillennial #ElderEmo
A red T-shirt laid flat on a chair, featuring a playful graphic design. The text reads, 'From the desk of Toto' above a small illustration of a black Scottie dog mid-leap. Below, the message continues in a handwritten-style font: 'Dear Dorothy: Hate Oz, took the shoes, find your own way home!' with a paw print signature labeled 'Toto.' The background includes a cozy, eclectic room with bookshelves, decorative items, and warm lighting.

One of my current #WIP is a "prequel" of sorts, going over the teenage years of one of my protagonists. He was a teenager at the same time I was, and he absolutely was in the same type of scene I was (pictured). While nostalgia bombing myself, I decided I really missed that "Dear Dorothy" shirt.
A triptych of three photos from the early 2000s featuring a young woman with long dark hair, glasses, and an alt-kid aesthetic. She wears oversized flared jeans with contrast stitching, layered bracelets, and graphic T-shirts with sarcastic text. One shirt reads, 'If I throw a stick, will you go away?' while another features a faux 'letter from Toto' that says, 'Dear Dorothy: Hate Oz, took the shoes, find your own way home!' Her accessories include a studded choker and multiple blue bracelets. The images capture a nostalgic, early 2000s alternative fashion vibe.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #512,753! But I’m never on here, so does it really count?

In the meantime, I hope there’s a writing community here that I can figure out here! But for anyone new that stumbles upon my account, hello! Welcome! I hope you enjoy sharing my writing journey with me. For now, here’s the pet tax with my boys Neelix (orange Maine Coon) and Lupin (grey shorthair).
Two cats sitting in front of a glass door on a rug covered in their fur. The orange Maine Coon is curled up in a box napping, and the grey American shorthair is sitting upright beside him.
