Fun fact about me: I'm a crochet cosplayer and designer! Been crocheting for 30+ years since I was 6 years old. I'm now in the Master Class in Balticon Masquerade, hopefully returning in 2026 for Balticon 60!

My Balticon 60 WIP: Princess Beatrice Stardust,
Happy (late) Halloween, to my fellow cosplayers who celebrated this awesome holiday.
Rest in peace, my beautiful Over the Garden Wall dress, which I bought 2 weeks ago off Hot Topic's site, the zipper broke in my boyfriend's hands when he tried to help me.
I was Corpse Bride for one night. Worth it.

Whether you're neurodivergent like me, you have a disability, you are LGBTQ or nonbinary, if you're a different skin tone or ethnicity, you have a VOICE, you have a purpose. Time to write and speak. This is YOUR time.
That's the legacy I want to speak.

Also, this was me as The Doctor at Balticon 57 in 2023, my cover photo on my Bluesky profile, at the Watertable Restaurant at Renaissance Harborplace Hotel overlooking the ITSUGAR candy store at the Harborplace below us. This was after The Gallery Plaza shut down.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but here is yesterday's-
I try to do some worldbuilding, but not too much of it. my rough drafts are what they are, rough, and need to be revised and edited a lot more. I weave in detail when I can. Here is a snippet from Eureka the Dragonheart:

Honestly, I don't have many visual aids, I just use the theatre of the mind kind of thing, like what I do with Dungeons and Dragons stuff... Also, I do watch too much stuff in TV and movies, I don't know if that counts..
Then there's this to get me going when procrastination hits:

Hi everyone in #WritingCommunity .
I've heard absolutely nothing from NaNoWriMo, and now I've heard the worst news. First JoAnn Fabrics is closing down, now NaNoWriMo is next. They were a safe haven from 2013-2020 for me, until the scandals. I've never lost a Camp April. Now, I have nothing to go on

Happy new year to all... Last night was incredible, for we danced the year away from last night of 2024 to the new year 2025. Let's hope it's less painful-
The band played Chicago's "Beginnings" almost as a tribute to my dad, four years since he passed. I cried.
Still a magical evening. Happy 2025.

Actually, now that I think about it, the great thing about having a BlueSky account is the fact that there's a butterfly for a logo... I do love butterflies, massively...
This is one of my WIPs, Mirabel, I Give You Wings, in terms of cosplay- The Monarch butterfly wings need lights...
