It is a reallly hard transition the first couple years....but now I can't go back to High School. I'm in too deep and it's fun!

So like.. my partner when we married was cishet male and since transitioned to NB/Trans (I knew before we got married.) It was funny because I went from "bi" to "pan" because "bi" no longer fit.

I have a whole notebook devoted to brain worms that don't quite fit the story, but need to get out of my head. :P

Tell my partner about it and excitedly share my ideas with writer friends. They're the best cheerleaders and keep me going. <3

Absolutely!

Love this!

Ooohh...Well. I started writing werewolves (circa 2005) as a way to write through my trauma by sending a werewolf to defeat my PTSD nightmares...
My world has since evolved but I hope my readers will get a sense of recovery, resilience, and recognize their healing journey through my prose.

YES YES YES! Bi-erasure sucks and must be combatted often. (My main character is pan and her first romantic partner is a cishet male- but he's not her forever love...)

Not in my novel... I usually save the spite for my personal journaling... ^^'

Stubbornness is a great way to put it. You need a lot of that in this line of work.

When I don't write for awhile- my brain doesn't shut up about it. So I'll be sitting there grading or parenting or whatever and my thoughts go to plot points and sticky areas in my manuscript until I can write them out.
