My husband and I will be at MFF in a couple weeks. I’m excited and can’t wait to meet some fellow writers and attend some panels. If you’d want to say hi, look out for the golden laurel wreath on my head!
Me with a golden laurel wreath on my head. Also, my hair is long and atrocious.

I ought to exclusively use Scrivener or get myself a Freewrite smart typewriter to write, because Word is getting on my last nerve with these bizarre suggestions/corrections.

Go and give them a follow!

Art of my fursona, a fox in black robes and a golden laurel wreath on his head. He’s sitting on a rock under the shade of a tree and writes on a pad with a feather quill.

Forced to work this Halloween, but they can’t make me hide my Wilde side.

Reminiscing on my day trip to Kyoto today and thought I’d share some shots I took. I miss Japan. 😭
Also, can anyone identify the statue by the river?

Another blind box for a fox, and guys? Am I a blind box savant?
A Zootopia blind box with the resulting figure: Nick Wilde in a police officer outfit.

The woman at the store, very lovely girl, asked me if I was excited for the sequel. As if my shirt didn’t give it away.

Doing my first blind box, and the rush of getting the figure I wanted might be the closest to doing drugs I’ll ever experience.

My TBR pile is a little nuts, and these tend to move around as my mood shifts, but this is on my slate.
The one with the weird red bit on its spine is Cloud Atlas without its dust jacket.

This first draft is a touch messy, but I think I’ve got the bones and spirit of my next book here. Can’t wait to share more concrete news in the future!

Post COVID woes: I miss the taste of coffee.

After avoiding it for so long, COVID finally caught me. Five years I avoided it, and I must’ve caught it around the con. I’m okay-ish, mildly off, but had a fever the whole night.

A little over two months old, I still feel strong about my debut novel. I’ve had some really wonderful reviews and kind words from others and it’s been so reaffirming and uplifting.
You can buy a copy off my website today!

The hubby and are going down to the Megaplex dealer’s den for a few hours! I’ll be selling my book as I walk around.
Added bonus, I’m taking $3 off the price for con attendees and anyone buying off my site!

Accompanying me is my husband, and this will be his first furry convention! He’s excited to debut in his suit.

Megaplex is next week, and I’ll be there! I’ll be wandering about, selling my book, giving out stickers, and hoping to chat and meet with folks. If you’re going and would like to buy a copy of my book, feel free to DM me and I’ll put aside a book for you! Otherwise, can’t wait to see you all there!
Me, thinking about all the cool stuff I’ll see at Megaplex. Me, holding a copy of my book, ‘A Portrait For Tomorrow’. I’ll have some copies to sell, though I sadly won’t have a table. Me holding a sticker of my fursona. I’ll be giving these away to anyone who wants one.

When I think I’ve solved a narrative problem with this current project, but now I’m upset. 🙃

Internet ads suck, but occasionally I’ll stop and find a gem that is… quite something to behold.
An ad featuring panels of muscular lions, jogging in what appears to be a desert. Text around it details recipes for a No Alcohol challenge? I’m not entirely sure. This most likely AI generated.
