My new short story comes out tomorrow, and I just realized that I said I would share more info, but haven't gotten the chance to.
So, here's the cover I made and some info about my new short story, "Morrigan's Cabin". (A THREAD, 1/4)

In case anyone is wondering how the semester is going, I was assigned 175 pages of reading to get done for next week. I read for 4 hours yesterday and only made it about halfway through. This doesn't include the writing assignment I have to draft for a workshop on Wednesday. THIS IS ONLY ONE CLASS.

Got through my first week of classes, and I am already ahead in my more difficult class. Managed to buckle down and get through more than half of my reading for next week last night so I wouldn’t be overwhelmed. Things are going great so far.

So, classes start today and I just looked through the syllabus and course calendar for one of them...
The prospects for getting back into making videos is not looking good at all. I still plan to write like crazy this upcoming semester, but that may be all I'm able to do. (1/3)

Today’s reading list. Let’s see how far I get. 😊
Ordered all of these with a gift card right before I sprained my finger and they just came in. Soooo excited to have something to do that isn’t watching YouTube, and I have wanted to read the rest of Phantom Tales since I read the 1st volume.

So, it is just a sprain, but I may have a benign cartilage tumor in the effected joint. Neat.
I’ll be resting. At this point, I don’t think anything is serious enough that they’ll want to look into it further. Still can’t believe this happened because I tried to pick up my cat.

Just got back from the ER. So much for writing this week.
Fortunately it’s just a sprain (will hear from the radiologist tomorrow if anything else is wrong), but it hurt like hell. This is just my luck, though.

Ah, yes, you’re right, Instagram. I should follow *checks notification* myself and myself.

Grams has passed.
Update on Grams:
She’s on hospice care and slipping fast. She is ready to go, but I think she’s holding out to see my uncle one last time. She was coherent enough to talk to everyone a little, so I at least got to say my final goodbyes, but I probably won’t be active for a bit.

Yesterday's video might be the only longform video I put out this month. My grandma is in the hospital again, and it has been hard to focus. Will still try to put out shorts, though, and I will be publishing a short story on my new website on Friday!
I'll share more about the story soon.

Just woke up with a sore throat and inflamed lymph nodes. No recording for me, I guess. We’ll see how long this will last and I will reschedule videos if needed.

This year, I am starting my new YouTube channel and I plan on making a lot of content surrounding my OCs and the projects they come from. OC designing videos, reading videos/streams, art and writing vlogs, the works.
If this sounds like your cup of tea, the link is in my bio! 🖤

To write for the market rather than yourself. If you’re not just churning out books, the trend will pass before you finish (or even get a chance to publish) yours. I would much rather write things for readers who share my interests.
what is your least favorite piece of writing advice and why? 👀

In 2026, please value curiosity.
Learn to love practicing and failure. Discover the joy of making that one good thing that you created with your own skills that you've put time into developing and showing it off.
Everyone has the potential, you just have to care about yourself.

Of course, as soon as I start getting my shit in order my mouth gets infected again (impacted wisdom teeth). Waiting in the pharmacy for antibiotics now, caught it early enough to where it shouldn’t slow me down.

I got an interesting email asking me to participate in an authortube-related event (although it was sent to the email for my old channel). Seriously considering jumping on it, since it reminds me of some of the streams that I used to do... and my new channel will be mostly writing-focused.

I need to catch up on those OC question posts (and take notes for what ones I could turn into art).

Finished editing my first Langform video for my new channel! It took two days and I still have to watch it back to make sure there’s no glaring issues, but it should be fine. I really need to find a less taxing way to edit these videos, though, because my computer STRUGGLED with this one.
