Somedays I'm a cup that is overflowing with an ocean of ideas and inspiration.
Other days, that cup is bone dry.
Today is one of the bone-dry days.

Waycross was the kind of town that breathed with the wind, exhaling mist that curled around lampposts and licked at doorways. This was what Nova liked best—the way it felt alive, always listening, always waiting. #flashfiction

This is what it feels like to have a planner's brain. I feel like this about random tasks I'm doing (READ: scheduling) 90% of the time.
Currently confirming appearances through the end of the year, and starting to put 2026 appearances on the calendar, which means that although we're barely mid-March, in a tiny corner of my brain feels it like 2025 is already done

Be kind to a someone today. Everyone is walking around scared. Some are right on the edge and others push it to their unconscious but no one is immune. This plane has all the makings of hell but it can be the opposite when we connect with each other

NO. The possibility of one absolutely ruining my day is too great. I once had someone reply to a reddit post I worked hard on "thanks gpt" and it totally killed my afternoon. I can't imagine how that would feel in regards to a project that I spent MONTHS on.

I wrote a book. Turns out, I'm terrible at getting people to read it. So, I made it a free serial instead. Bad idea? TBD. But if you like magic, murder, and a town with too many secrets—come see what I’ve done. 🔮💀 buff.ly/43jzI3f
