A friend of mine died earlier this week and I've not been okay.
Doing my best to pull myself back together.

That awkward moment where your ability to do your day job hangs in the balance of a local election and your moonlighting job gives you non stop rejections and you feel your sanity slowly leaving your body so you just say FUCK IT and write fanfic.
Anyway, have a cat.

Just got out of Beetlejuice! Wooops uh I wasn’t expecting to get emotional about grief. But that show was very good - very appropriate for Halloween, and very appropriate for Samhain (in my own strange view)
Anyway, BEETLEBUBU BEETLEBUBU BEETLEBUBU!!!

Right now, what has been keeping me sane has been:
a) attending No Kings with my mom
b) limiting social media
c) reading fanfic
d) writing what sparks joy, even if that isn't the sequel.

Can’t believe I’ve been doing this a decade. See you later, New York Ren Faire.
(On the back of my hoodie it says “No Nazis in Valhalla” and “Witches Against White Supremacy” with patches of Fenrir, Hati, and Sköll.)

Throwback to September, when I met Holly Black at my local Barnes and Nobles! I am so grateful for her words about writing and publishing, and had a lot of fun at the event! My TBR pile is getting even larger…

I did not have singing Hamilton songs with Richard Horvitz (the voice of Invader Zim and Moxxie) not once, but twice, on my bingo card for today, and yet…
More later, but sometimes the world is a fun place, and I was thrilled to be reminded of that.

Woke up at 5am to a rejection from an agent I really liked.
Then I pulled myself out of bed, walked the dogs, and wrote a bit of my next book.
Fuck this system. I will make it through.

Grief is heavy. I’m still carving, still writing, and still swimming.
Just a little slower than usual.

It was a lovely weekend with my family, and I love my nieces and nephews so much. But the Loki flash fiction piece I'm working on is pushing me to new (and kinda scary) places.
Still gonna do my best, but I think for tonight I need a break.

My weigh in on the controversy is that I am going to watch my little queer cartoon instead of wasting what precious time I have for joy and relaxation arguing about semantics over a shithead.

I am contemplating small presses. Does anyone have any suggestions on reliable ones to submit to? It's for an LGBTQ+ Historical/Folklore based Fantasy.
I'm still doing the agent hunt, but just expanding my options!
