More writing today, not as much as I'd like, but this chapter packed such a punch that I had to take a break. LMAO

It's been a hot minute but here we are!

I'm getting closer to finishing Spider's Web and here is my quote for the day. 😃 Something fishy is going on.

Hello, all!

I’m having brain surgery on Tuesday so writing is put on a hold for now. I’ll update later.

Heeey, I’m disabled and need brain surgery. It’s about a 12 week recovery. ❤️‍🩹 It’s happening on July 8th. My sequel may not come out on 09/20/25. I’m not sure yet, but will keep you updated!

Felt like writing a poem today. It’s about the things we leave behind. Click to enlarge.

No one has read my WIP yet so I’ll just go with the first book. These are comps that have been said to me.

1) ACOTAR but very 🏳️‍🌈

2) Throne of Glass but very 🏳️‍🌈

3) LOTR questing vibes but very 🏳️‍🌈

Grief is a funny thing. It can make you feel like everything happened yesterday. And that’s what today was like.

But I wrote so it’s okay. The only way out is through.

Magnum and Finch are at odds. Hopefully this becomes a usual thing because it’s fun ahaha

There’s a lot of moving in this passage lol

One of the more frustrating things about being disabled is how unpredictable your flares are. I’m still writing but it’s agonizingly slow. But I woke up this morning and felt human so that’s something.

Not as many words as I’d like this morning, but something is better than nothing.

Hoping to do a cover reveal soon.

Man, this got sad quick.

Only 450 words this morning but that’s better than nothing.

New tag WW because Bandit and Shatterjaw have it going on lmao

This one was a challenge given where I am in the story. I used the thesaurus and the closest thing I could find was “aid.”

Also, have a migraine, I did my best lmao.

I flare a lot, in case it wasn’t obvious. It’s why it’s taking me about a year to write my sequel, but I hope to make the wait worth it.

I went with vibes for this one.
