Hi! My name is Simonne, and I’m a writer. I mostly write fantasy and gothic stories with queer characters, but have been dipping my toes into body horror for awhile now.
I love reading gothic classics and playing RPG games. I also make my own book covers! Not official, but they’re fun to make.

I know a major part of writing is making an unwieldy, shitty first draft, but god, there’s nothing I hate more than being in the middle of an unwieldy, shitty first draft

Not a single Christmas song has invoked such primal rage in me like Dominick the Donkey.

Writing a victorian fantasy means spending 30 minutes researching whether or not light switches were a thing in the victorian era. I did this months ago but the answer is still inconclusive

Can’t wait to get back to this draft next year. Hoping to get at least 2 projects done before the end of this year, but I’m already thinking about this one 🥲

I thought having a smaller writing goal for November would save me from having a writing slump at the start of December, but it appears I was wrong. No writing today, but maybe tomorrow 🥲

Amazing that the Great Defenders of Gaming Traditions are so surprised by the fact that Ciri will be the focus of The Witcher 4, a reveal that came out of nowhere at... the end of The Witcher 3

Man I'm sorry but Netflix and Mr. Beast have driven Squid Game into the ground, it no longer is cool commentary on society and is instead mindless content void of any artistic message

Dear A.I. defenders, specifically those want to write fiction: there is no cheat code. You want to be a writer, you have to put in the work. You don’t, you’re not a writer. You never will be. Continue pushing your button.
