Last round of thank-you parcels sent off to donors as of today. Of all the folks who donated to this campaign, a pretty significant amount were anonymous. I’ll never know who those people are, but if you’re one of them— thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Dia de los Muertos party. We had about 20 people over, they all brought photos to put on the ofrenda & halfway through the night everyone took turns telling a funny story about the loved one they brought. Really moved by how many folks told us afterwards that they needed this 🖤

Here’s a silly screenshot of me trying to explain COME BACK WRONG, my upper YA suburban fantasy-horror novel, to a friend on Discord. If you’re into David Lynch, this book may be for you! Querying soon, pitch linked in the QRT below.

~a handy guide to COME BACK WRONG, my love letter to the schoolhouse gothic. it’s a YA with adult crossover potential, 2nd draft complete as of a few weeks ago. tentatively hoping to query by the end of the year.

if anyone happens to be following the beets saga — i recently uploaded a chunky tutorial video that walks you through the recipe i used to make beetroot dye. if you’ve got any interest in wildcrafting and gardening, consider checking this one out ✌🏼

my partner suggested using the beets to dye scrap fabric, so i’m gonna give it a try! and i’ll be using a vinegar-water solution as a dye fixative instead of a chemical mordant, so we can still eat the beets afterwards.
