This is gonna be so much fun to write 🤭

When I say I’m writing Opal and Oestre to give all trans girls a hug in book-form, this is what I mean. It’s so incredibly clear this is the first novel I’ve written start to finish since transitioning—it’s so joyful. 😊 Should have this done in about two weeks! 💖

One bonus to this setup is that I look really funny while I’m recording this way 😂

I figured out that I can record my POV while drumming by clenching my phone’s popsocket between my teeth, and this is the coolest shit ever 🤘

Writing about 4x my usual amount since switching to writing at the coffee shop, but I’ve also been particularly and actively gay lately, so I think both are helping. 🤭 Either way, aiming to get this cozy transbian magech novel done for y’all by the end of the year! Then it’s lesbian gumshoe time! 🤘💖

How did the date go? Well, I didn’t know a back massage could make you do *that*
So pretty well, I’d say 😅

This is what I’m writing my gay little novels on, btw. lol

Gonna go get caffeinated at the local coffee shop and keep powering through the rest of this far future transbian technowitch novel that ppl seem to be really interested in so I can get to the lesbian private eye novel that ppl also seem to be really interested in. Such a struggle

I went into the function a lil nervous bc social anxiety & knowing how functions can go as a girlie with a touch of the tism, but I literally got to eat pizza, play smash, and get pet/cuddled by girls I didn’t really know. Cishet normies could learn a thing or two, just saying. 😂

Named the band Ayteejaybee (All Trans Jam Band) in the GC, kind of as a placeholder to be able to easily find the group chat, but also I kind of love that name now?

The thing about hanging out with autistic trans girls is it’s a whole lot of fun, actually. Many people don’t know this, but they should.

I’m so incredibly gay 🥰
November 16, 2025 at 5:55 AM
& the final result. I think I clean up pretty well 😊

Kinda loving my witchy librarian hair this morning 💖

So I think the title kind of has to be Lavender Menace, Private Eye. Like I can’t *not* do that.

Got a lot of interest and two friends independently DMing me to say they’d read the hell/shit out of it, so uh… this is happening! 🚬🔍💋

Between my lovely experience at Dorothy yesterday and the fact that I’ve been jamming to a lot of swing revival lately, I’m kinda thinking my next novel might have to be about a tough-as-nails lesbian gumshoe or something 🤔
November 14, 2025 at 4:14 PM
Dorothy is the authentic lesbian speakeasy experience. You arrive & have no idea you’ve arrived bc there are no signs, nothing but a nondescript but well-lit red door. You enter, show ID, & walk downstairs into the swankiest, most elegant jazzy lesbian bar, enormous couches lining the walls. 10/10.

Going to a lesbian bar with friends tn! (baby’s first!) I am v excited 😊
