Nerdy bookworm and author obsessed with Critical Role, D20, Worlds Beyond Number. Polyjamorous audiophile, weird fiction addiction, and horror adorer.
Oh! I totally forgot!
I’m going to have three weeks to spend editing for the first part of May.
I’m casting yeetus uterus.

I’ve been married for 14 years.
I still don’t understand the people who seem to hate their spouses. I mean, we annoy each other, but it’s mostly harmless.
Like dancing away like a crab while blasting Crab Rave and my husband questions his life choices.

I mean, it’s NOT done, I still gotta edit and then hire an editor, then do all the research on agents and querying and all that jazz. But, yo, I wrote a whole ass book.
February 15, 2025 at 10:35 PM
It’s done.

Also, the “stick the landing” anxiety is real.
Like, you hear that finishing a book is the hardest part, but it doesn’t sink in until you’re approaching it.
It’s not like I’m leaving these characters either.
I just know that I can’t write book 2 like I did book 1.

So, I’m four chapters away from completing my first draft, and first novel.
She’s a thicc girl.
There are a lot of things I hope I landed right. Some things were easy, some things were like pulling teeth.

I’m terrible at social media.
That being said, the dreaded thing has occurred.
I have writer’s block.
213k words in.
*Sighs while grabbing the teeth dagger.*
Time to strike a Bargain.
Volunteers?

My bestie truly has the most faith in me. This was one of my early birthday gifts:

Been deep in writing and organizing my book.
We’re looking at 66 chapters, 240k words(before edits), and likely 500-700 pages after editing.
She gonna be thicc.
Just like the FMC.

Happy Spotify Wrapped Day!

My Bose headphones are now considered an emotional support item.

Found out from the MD on Tuesday that I’m probably going to need iron transfusions.
My quest to become Paper IronHeart is working.

Ah shit, there are those vampire allegations again.

I hit 209,179k words last night.
Of course, that includes the Frankendraft.
I’ve spent 22 years trying to find a story for Anna. She’s had many iterations.
When I first dreamed her up, she was who I wanted to become.

In some ways, she still is.

I hope you love her as much as I do.

🎶I’M STARIN’ DOWN THE BARREL OF AGE 40 NIGH! 🎶

Whoa, sorry, blacked out for a second.

Married life is pretty cool.
Especially when you’re married to someone 5 years your senior. I get to look five years into the future.

42 is gonna suck balls.

Some Irish podcasters just followed me. Guys, I’m not famous. Plz.
I’m just a silly little nerdy gal who’s writing a romance novel with an Irish fantasy cop guy.

I’m flattered, though.

I hope you find me funny?

One of the other authors in my book club read the mid-point of my book today on video chat.
It was pure serotonin.
They’re going to kill me, but I have no regerts.

Had to take a trip to the ER last night(I’m not dying, yet), and they gave me morphine.
I saw, the best pun on the cardiac radiology pinboard on my way to imaging.
“Are you a coronary artery? ‘Cause you’re wrapped all around my heart.”
I laughed for five minutes.

That’s satisfying moment when you pull a word out of your ass that you forgot you learned and you spell it right the first time.
November 18, 2024 at 12:57 AM
Sometimes, I think I’m trash at this. And then, I write a killer line and I think “I’m a genius.”
I am an oscillating fan.

My characters in a nutshell.

Ferris: Anna, NO!
Lance: Anna, YES.
Kalen: Anna, WHY?
Eloise: Anna-*facepalm*

Anna: Anna, YOLO!

Aoife: This family makes me want to murder people.

Another cat related post:

Found a new way to clean a cat fountain.

Pour some diluted Bath & Body Works hand soap(that you use to clean your glasses, and put in an unlabeled water bottle) in it by accident only to wonder why it’s suddenly foamy…

Label your recycled containers, folks.

Update: it’s 100% the latter.
Yesterday, this smooth brained feline managed to get one of his wand toy strings wrapped around his neck and was running around the house because he thought the mouse at the end finally decided to take its revenge.
Then, he fought my husband for helping him.
Orange cats are wild, man.
I can’t decide if mine is actually semi-intelligent, or if he just operates solely on impulse and it just works out for him.
Given that he chases his tail and gets mad when he bites himself too hard, I’m going with the latter.

90% of what I’ve written so far of this book has been written on my phone.

Including what’s still in the Frankendraft, it’s almost 150k words.

That’s a lot of words, man.

I love writing High Octane scenes with cool in-world powers.
I’m a huge fan of speedsters as a power base.
The really fun part has been putting hard “magic” limits on them.
They can’t have it active for too long
They need special supports for their body
The mental math is BONKERS

Writing tense scenes between characters is fun.
Especially when they keep trying to bang and screw up your plot.
Having a cast of disaster bisexuals may have been a mistake on my part.
