y’all asked for a morally grey love interest?????
Dark flower background with text “[redacted] is dead Harper, and you were [redacted]. How is that not enough for you? What else has to happen?!” He ticks his next words off on his fingers, “you’re snooping around campus, you’re doing crazy shit trying to what? Conjure demons or something with your friends, you’re sneaking off campus… do you have a death wish? Is that it?” He reaches out and grabs my arm pulling me flush against him, his fingers tilting my head back, his nose grazing up my throat. Everywhere our skin touches burns like fire. But it doesn’t hurt. I fist his sleeves, gasping against his touch. His words come out like gravel. “Because trust me, I’ve imagined it.” His fingers trail up my back and sink into the depths of my hair, pulling gently until my eyes meet his. “If that’s what you really want, you can tell me.”

❆ it's that time of the month again — the one where i yap for too long and tell y'all too much

this month i'm catching you up on all of the incredible, extremely cool things that have happened since i got my 6 fig deal for BOUND BY FURY

🔗⬇️
“It’s high key terrifying to write books these days. However, I fervently maintain that writing is the most powerful form of resistance. It immortalizes us. They cannot legislate us out of existence. We’re here (we’re queer), and we cannot be silenced, no matter how hard they try. Like all of the stories that have come before us, that have emboldened us to tell stories of our own, so too, will our stories serve to inspire the coming generations. And in the meantime, everything sucks. So you might as well write your gay ass, Black ass, fuck-the-system ass books while we wait for the end times. You’ve got nothing better to do anyway.” january 2025 - the revision crisis text over photo of people doing a vision board january 2025 - the revision crisis, debut updates, the truth about revising on deadline, and oh yeah, the planet is dying

after writing over 100k words in the last month, completely rewriting it from the ground up, battling the most intense performance anxiety i've experienced since probably the SATs...

i typed The End on FURY's first post book deal developmental edit (last night at 345 am!)

time to crash!! 🥳
