Working on a new novel(la) and at least two characters will be neurodivergent. I realised how well it would click with the story.

As a sidenote, it's weird trying to do the "buy my book" dance in the middle of everything going on. It's like trying to sell ice cream during a neverending earthquake.

I don't know about anybody else but I feel flat. Not bad but most certainly not good either. I'm gonna disappear into the woods tomorrow and not come back till my camera is full of things to flood this place with next week. What does an artist do when things are tough? Make art! And so should you.

Anybody else find undercuts really soothing? The process, the trimming, the feel of the short hair after. I feel good for the rest of the day. ☺️

I get strangely hurt when people tell me off for being too ethical. Sorry for having a healthy moral compass that won't roll over. 🙄 Is that ADHD or just being decent?

Helpful insight I heard recently about autism, ADHD, etc. They're neurological conditions that influence you throughout your life. That's key to setting their traits apart from those that "everyone experiences now and then" or suddenly appear after physical or psychological trauma. Food for thought.

Autism, while listed in the DSM as a disorder, is better explained as a neurotype comprised of a constellation of traits that diverge from what is currently considered typical. The defining traits are not disordered by nature but pose challenges when attempting to meet expectations of peers.

Got my autism diagnosis a few days ago at the age of 36. 🥳 Explains a lot, but apparently so does ADHD... 😅 Soooo the mental health journey continues...

My first ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ book review of 2025
Well-written modern fantasy with echoes of "Practical Magic" mixed in with intriguing themes, such as healing from domestic abuse and the anxiety it causes, magical vs rational thinking, and principles of the craft. #booksky

#authors what other platforms do you use? I left X ages ago, and I'm thinking of doing the same with Facebook and Insta (and KDP eventually. Just focusing on social media for now.) I'm already on TikTok and have dabbled with Pinterest and YouTube. Any suggestions or tips? #writingcommunity

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Epic fantasy novella exploring the necessity and dangers of historical knowledge.
It's intellectual, sweet, and easy to read. Slightly underdeveloped when it comes to some characters and plot points. #booksky #epicfantasy #lgbtqfantasy

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Short story collection
Ten thought-provoking and often surreal/fantastical narratives brimming with personality. A book to pour over.
Downsides: intelligent narration that sometimes becomes convoluted, difficult to follow. Also, too many formatting and proofreading errors to ignore. #booksky

Is there a word you use a lot when you're anxious or excited? Mine is "cool". It just falls out of my mouth on repeat. "Cool cool cool cool." Different intonations, too, until I force myself to shut up. #funnyhabits

In the early stages of planning a new book. Magical realism set in modern Greece about misfit girls growing up there. Complex personalities and relationships. I'll be drawing on personal experiences, so it should be quite the surreal project for me. #creativewriting #bookidea
