Happy #Novelmber! I'm Alexis, and I couldn't possibly pick a favorite book! That being said, I will read ANYTHING that Natasha Pulley writes. Sad traumatized historical queers are my jam. Looking forward to meeting other November writers! #WritingCommunity

Space rock band WIP can officially be called a novel. Grateful to the brainworms and also to #1000wordsofsummer for getting me over this threshold.

I'm putting this over here because so few people follow me that it's basically a private space for me, but I tried making a moodboard for the gay Martian time travel book and it came out looking like the most heterosexual literary novel ever I'm WHEEZING--

I finally got my Submission Grinder mostly updated (I'm waiting for one market to be added so I can log 2 more acceptances), and it's nice to see all these stats laid out! 150 submissions over 6 years, with a ~20% acceptance rate.

#NaNoWriMo Day 5: I'm the farthest thing from an artist and I'm so bad at mood boards, but here's a crack at it. Space! Music! Falling in love with someone you shouldn't! This WIP has it all.
