Not my usual content...but important. You might find me a little quieter than usual as I navigate this rough patch. If you're struggling with mental health too, please don't be afraid to ask for help. #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #Anxiety

I realize I'm a trillion years late, and I had to do this with Canva elements because I refuse to use AI but I can't draw worth a damn, but I thought a writer starter pack would be fun 🤣

What's a hedge wizard to do when he falls for a local girl, but leaving the wards on his apartment building means exposing his location to the eldritch horror who wants him dead?
Enjoy some bits from the #ProjectOrin Pinterest board! 🧙🏻♀️🪄🐙

About to start laying down some #ProjectOrin word count and—oh crap, is that ANOTHER story that wants me to write it?! I wonder if I can finish drafting Orin by the end of September. Bets? 🤣 #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Working on short 105. I honestly thought these would end up being a chore to do every week but I love the challenge so much! When this one is done I'll officially have surpassed two years of weekly short stories! #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

I finally got around to watching BELLE. I loved the design, the music, the characters...but the story left me with a LOT of questions, even after watching dub and sub to make sure I got everything. Did you see this movie? What did you think?

WHO DID THIS TO YOU 🤣🤣🤣 Similar to the "mine" thing, the "who did this to you" micro-trope has never given me flutters, but it works here! #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #WIPWednesday I'm nearing the end of the #GoblinBridgeNovel first draft, so you'll probably start seeing new WIP content soon!

I never dreamed of living in a hole in the ground, but on the other hand, Bag End. I really loved building this LEGO version!

One nice thing about getting older is that you can stop worrying about what people think of you, and buy a pair of your favorite shoes you had in elementary/middle school just because they make you happy 😁 My husband said they look like hipster shoes, so, very on brand 🤣 #FunFriday

My baby girl (of 19 years) crossed the rainbow bridge today. 🌈 She had almost completely lost kidney function, and the complications were tanking her quality of life. I would never have been ready, but she was, and she went with grace. As always. My Mogget. 💔

Eevee's expression = how I feel about having been at the emergency vet w/him & the cat since 12. It's now 2:18 and I can look forward to a minimum vet bill of $800, with an optional $900 add-on of an ultrasound if the cat's blood work comes back normal and they need other tests. 😩
