Good morning
This year I wrote a novel, titled Sheam.
It's in (sort of) three parts, which I like to describe as:
1. Hang on, am I a woman?
2. Hold up, am I worthy of love? Gay love?
3. Wait a sec, can my polycule overthrow the government?
It's done and you can read it here:

It's one thing to understand it. It's another to internalize it.
I've been getting a lot of help with both recently. 😌

Off to a blazing start this morning. ✨

I was informed that the flower stalk signals the end of the life cycle. It shall continue to bloom on my desk. Live on, mother plant.
