Sometimes, when she sings before them with their hungry, roving eyes, she closes her eyes.

Sometimes, it's better to be blind.

Ginger Hestwood, torch singer at The Nightingale's Vice. Flying Diamond, Colorado, 1943.

She performs every night. The ghosts sometimes follow her home.

Realized tonight that Charlie's internal monologue is doing double duty in every scene I write: tracking immediate danger while also processing emotional overwhelm

Writing queer survival in 1940s means every tender moment exists inside a threat

WOW!!! 😮
So glad I did this, because I lost perspective of how far I've actually come!

The shape language and general design of the first art (for artfight) feels so much "heavier" and too angular. Whereas the "now" piece has so much more life in the flow of it all
