Big gay nerd and aspiring writer 🧑🏻💻
I’m a former lawyer and entrepreneur. After a gnarly 2024 struggling with burnout and poor mental health, I’m in the middle of reinventing myself as an aspiring writer and (occasional) artist.
I love gay and/or nerdy shit. I think I’ll fit right in here. 💙

Annoyingly, I have to "book-end" my creative output with other nurturing activity, or my creative well runs dry pretty quickly.
Cardio exercise (especially walks in nature), meditation and journaling are all crucial daily activities for me. If it's still not working, I doodle! 🧑🎨

🧑🏻💻Today I worked on: drafting an action scene, and watching a (depressing) vid on navigating the industry in 2025
🧠 Today I felt: a lot of joy, luckily!
🤔 Biggest challenge: accepting that I've already diverted from my outline

🧑🏻💻Today I worked on: figuring out the main antagonist's backstory (now he's my fave character..)
🧠 Today I felt: antsy, and a bit sick of outlining TBH!
🤔 Biggest challenge: managing the urge to rush ahead + get drafting already!

I loved sooo much about this: the 1960s NYC setting; the slow-burn romance; the baseball; the tender exploration of grief. So good!
