So my dumbass fractured a rib. Again.
Not from a horse or seizure for once.
No no no no—this time? Klutziness got me...
So, I'm currently testing everything Xiào would have to do with a cracked rib and yeah—bad idea. Terrible idea.
-13/10 Would not recommend.

LoSaS is finally ready for the editor… but after that, I’m gonna NEED content pulls and someone who can write blurbs/synopses because I absolutely cannot summarize to save my life.

If you’ve got recs, please drop them...
I have no idea what I'm doing like at all

writing love shapes is hard… and bittersweet.
warning: vaguely spoilery but 🤷🏼‍♀️ blame the characters.

if you’re interested in alpha/beta THatB reading, let me know

I love my characters.
Xiào is bitter and brilliant. Pari is stubborn sunshine in silk.
Raizyn is loyalty with teeth, while Emicka is soft rage wrapped in silence.
Danlyn is a chaos gremlin with a bleeding heart.

And I have decided that I haven’t hurt them nearly enough :)

Woke up thinking “I need a sleeper build nerd with a threatening aura…” then looked at my husband and realized—oh yeah. I got one. 🥰

Authors who used the em-dash before AI:
— Emily Dickinson
— Friedrich Nietzsche
— James Joyce (pretty sure for dialogue?)
— Agatha Christie
— Charles Dickens
— Jane Austen
I will continue to abuse the hell out of it. Proudly. With flourish.
And no one can stop me.

Someone referred to my “boys” (Xiào from LoSaS, Raizyn and Danlyn from THatB) as emotionally wrecked and honestly?
10/10 literary diagnosis.
These men are beyond therapy.

-From my WIP-
“Perhaps you should find someone else to haunt,” she said.
“Tempting,” he mused. “But keeping an eye on you happens to be my job, Princess. If you insist on making it difficult, I’d at least appreciate the courtesy of pretending to be surprised when I show up.” #IndieAuthor #Romantasy

📚 Current WIP 📚
A princess. A sarcastic attendant. An arrogant foreign prince she’s forced to marry. But fate has other plans.
🔥 Enemies to lovers.
🔥 Slow burn romance.
🔥 He falls first — and it’s devastating.
🔥 Forbidden love with a deadly price. Touch her and die.#WIP #WritingCommunity #Romantasy
February 16, 2025 at 2:00 AM
"Tell me, Princess—should I be grateful for being a cut man?"
A stolen future. A simmering resentment. A princess and her unwilling attendant, bound by duty but divided by everything else.

⚔️ Would you keep reading?

WIP
Xiao only shrugged, his smirk returning, but it was a bitter thing. “It hardly matters what you asked for, does it? The world bends around you, Princess.” He tilted his head, studying her, as if waiting to see whether his next words would draw blood. “The rest of us just get cut in the process.”
