I'm a queer, neurodivergent writer working towards publishing my 🌶️ traumantasy novel.

Stay tuned for updates on my 2nd draft! 🤍✨
Status: 30% done

My favorite genres to write are fantasy, romance, and horror.
Draft 2 Progress Updates:

I have most of act I hammered out, and I’ve done some tinkering with act II and III

I have been informed that I'm writing a 'traumantasy'

Ferren has no chill and wants to see me break down over plot (love her though)

Already 18.84% of the way to my goal for the second draft of my romantasy. I have a much better handle on things this time around. I just have to keep showing up. I'm going to hold this baby in print one day. I'll get there one word at a time 🤍✨

Trying my hand as some poetry. I must be in a mood today.

Draft 2 is officially in progress 🥳 Embracing this kind of energy in my 31st year:
My stories will find exactly who they need to.
As long as I continue to be deliberate with my actions, my success is inevitable.
I. Will. Get. Published.

I started a Substack! I'll be posting some reflections on life, writing, and the chaotic way the two go together if you'd like to check it out:

Had fun modifying my banana bread recipe. Tried chocolate marbling, extra dark chips, and topping with crushed walnuts. Can be improved, but love the first try. It's making me think of work my rough draft needs.

Wondering if Silus would like baking more than Ferren...

I would love to be in soup mode. It's still too hot here 🫠

I reached my target wordcount of 100k! It's hard to believe I've consistently chipped away at this rough draft the last few months. She's beautiful in that way something ugly wraps back around to being adorable. Just a couple more chapters until she's done! 🥳

Today I hit 90k in my rough draft! My goal has been 100k, but it's looking like I'm going to go over by a little. I already have so many ideas for what I want to change and trim, but I'm using self-restraint to keep it for the second draft.

Introducing Silus with another draft snippet! People think he's mysterious when he's just socially awkward. He'd rather spend his days reading than training. He despises his father, his own temper, and the war against beast and nature aspects. He's soft-spoken and reserved--until it comes to Ferren.

I'd like to introduce Ferren, the lead of my novel WIP. She's a dragonkin who wants two things she can never have: freedom, and her master's son. I'm loving getting to know her, and the closer I get to finishing my rough draft, the more excited I am to share her with the world!
