All spooky, all the time. Games, art, movies, music, and writing.
I love a good Old Fashioned. In my novel, drink mixing runs parallel to sacred rituals. Both are crucial to group bonding, and both have a tendency of changing the tone of a scene.

This flu sucks, but I'm finally feeling well enough to get writing again! Got lots of notes down in bed, of course.

My goal is to wrap up this TSwift/Chappell fanfic this week! Here's an AI image of Pandora, one of my original characters. Diamond claws = best claws.

Visited New Orleans for the first time for my birthday. Loved the spooky vibes and good food!

This Swiftie/Chappell fanfic is turning out to be quite the project. Closing in on 12,000 words! I've decided the "final boss" is gonna be a massive Steam/Cyberpunk snake a-la Reputation era.

Working on another Taylor fanfic: Steampunk/Fantasy story in the mystical Swiftwood. High Priestess Taylor watches from the Sanctum Evermorium. Chappell is Captain of the Witchguard. Her armor and weapon along with the Sanctum:

So I'm writing a Cyberpunk alien invasion/resistance Taylor Swift fanfic on the side 🤣 It's so unhinged. Took a turn toward SciFi in the middle.

The T.S. Lover and one of her scientist buddies (AI generated):

Well, it's been a rough last few days, friends. From nazi salutes to the general uncertainty we're dealing with, it's easy to feel defeated. Let's keep our chins up and keep fighting. Stick together. Stay creative and let out voices be heard.

Couple of new AI pics of Alyth:

Sewing together a story with different real-world mythologies is a lot of fun! My plot notes are full of Aztec and Norse fare. Also, getting a 1500's New World character to a specific time in Europe via historical events has been rewarding!

Finally getting around to Sonic Frontiers. Haven't had too much time with it yet, but it's definitely been a refreshing experience so far!

Been a busy last few days! Got frustrated with a huge misstep in my current chapter, so I went back and edited my prologue and first chapter. Feels good to have them a bit more polished!

Here's Alyth on the hunt.

Veronica (Nica) and Alyth—two sides of the Protector archetype in my novel. Where Nica sets boundaries for the MC, Alyth happily breaks them. Nica wants to prop the group up, and Alyth wants all the attention.

Happy New Year!

Had to catch a glimpse of the tree at Wilderness Lodge before they took it down.

Been chipping away at this beast for awhile.

So much going on under a canopy of rich exposition. I'm usually not huge on making angels a race of people in fantasy (usually overpowered and boring), but it works well here. All the characters are deliciously flawed, too.

World building can be quite fun.

Sasquatch Haven is a dive bar in my ficticious town of Azure Creek near the CA/OR border. Two of my characters meet here under mysterious circumstances. The chainsaw carving of Bigfoot has become a point of humor and regular discussion.

"Do you truly feel nothing for how your teachings left me scarred? That damned forest, the hunter's fire—those are my first human memories because of you. They follow me everywhere."

Silence. Only the smell of fire and pine trees lingered, an echo of a banshee's plight.

Seven chapters down and plenty of material plotted out. Whew! Can't wait to get all this down so I can start properly editing.

Here's an imagining of my Liliana: Priestess of the Cult of the Horned Owl and Coyolxauhqui, Aztec moon goddess.

"She seemed unaffected by the flurry as snow swirled around her, bowing to her will."

Ever have a character you love writing a little too much? I had to scale back Alyth's presence in the last couple of chapters.

To that end, 7 down and ??? to go.

Decided to see what all the fuss is about. Pretty fun! Has a BotW feel to it. The lore is interesting. Clothing and fashion are integral to the human experience. Never thought about the magic of style. Very playful take.

Throwback to last year when I saw Xandria and Battle Beast here in Orlando. It was my first gig in awhile! I do miss that part of living close to Hollywood. We got all the concerts. Used to be at a club at least once a month if not more. Ah well...fond memories now.

Ooo I love Battle Beast! Saw them with Xandria last year.

Had a nice night at Animal Kingdom yesterday. Had to say goodbye to Dino Land as they're turning it into something for Indiana Jones and Encanto.

I will miss the holiday decorations 😢 Hard to find skeletons dressed up in lights this time of year!

Corporate culture is so toxic. If you don't speak up, nothing will change. If you do speak up, you're accused of stepping out of line. The worst people are rewarded, and being good means being taken advantage of.

SIGH.
