Yearly rewatch of “The Lost Boys.” I love vampires so damn much.

I really need to write a vampire book one day.

Woohoo! I am officially an associate member of the #SFWA

Obvious next goal: sell enough stories (or write a book) and make it to full membership!

Yup.

Went to my horror book club yesterday. Our July read I already own (WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME by @natcassidy.bsky.social ) so I’m adding it to my vacation stack for a reread.

This will be the first time I’ve ever read a book 2x in a matter of months.

I’m never sure what to post as a writer, unless you want pictures of my notebooks and laptop screen. So, here is the art nearest my desk.

Linocut print by Patterned, hanging altar by Wild Fancy Designs, witch hands by Rebecca Chaperon.

Help! Was on the way to write but I got catted.

Back from a trip to the mountains. Time to buckle down, clean up, work out, and write.

Yall I’ve been published before online, but I can’t even tell you how cool it is to hold a book—with my story inside it—in my hands.

COSTS OF LIVING from @whisperhousepress.bsky.social comes out in September. Make sure you check it and then out!

While I was gone afew days, I as operating heavy machinery (but not into power lines), eating soul food, seeing Les Mis with my kid and doing various and sundry other things.

Gut a hold on a story! Yay! It’s been awhile.

Publication crossed out so I don’t jinx myself.

Apparently, boxes from @shortwavebooks.bsky.social make perfect cat holders

I had to fight her to get my copy of REST STOP out from under her.

Got a copy of @chuckwendig.bsky.social The Kickass Writer in the mail today.

Sat down at my desk, looked at the piece I started yesterday, and contemplated moving onto a different project.

Randomly flipped open to this page. Wrote 600 words instead.

I have a chonk tortie too. This living squishmallow is Maggie.

Yes, Coca-Cola, you are my friend.

Productive day: spent the whole morning finishing the new @chuckwendig.bsky.social. He’s such a good writer, it made me want to write, so I put down 1500 words (a lot for me, for one day).

Between all that, weeding in my rainy backyard, eating lemon cookies, a grocery store run.

Started on two of my birthday presents last night. Already almost halfway through both of them.

Hey look a book by one of my favorite authors came out on my birthday! STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS by @chuckwendig.bsky.social

Coincidence? I think so!

Still cool, though. And it has genuinely contributed to me having a good birthday.

It is excellent and the hut is a central character to the story.
Cover is great, too.

I love when my cat sleeps with her face smashed into stuff.

Aside from doing a bunch of yard work and finishing an amazing book (GREENTEETH by @mollyoneillwrites.bsky.social ), I also did some writing, so that’s a bunch of wins for me today.

The news is often bad these days, so here is a bright spot for your timeline, some peonies for you.
April 20, 2025 at 5:09 PM
This was not blooming when I got home today, then opened up within hours.

I love peonies

I draw under my given name (which is not this one) and write under this one.

I’d eventually like to illustrate people’s books (think chapter or page break icons or small scale illustrations). I wonder if I should keep them separate or combine the two.

Thoughts?
