Seeing a HP fanfic go for 7 figures while youāre in the query trenches with original queer work really is demoralizing. I love fanfic, Iāve read and written it since I was 13. But thisā¦

No, I don't want to sign up for a baby name website. I just want to name my new character. Let me see the name. And yes I'm world building while readers have a story. Yes, I have a problem.

No one talks about it, but as a friend just reminded me, itās totally normal to have days where you feel down and sorry for yourself on the writing journey. Letās hang in there together š

A southern inheritance is always darkāwhether it's a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra spurns them all, but when her dad disappears, she must choose which monsters to slay, and which to become.

2024 ended hard for me after many personal set backs and being forced to put my health first. I've only been able to write intermittently, but writing is such a core part of me that NOT writing made it worse. Well, I'm finally back to writing. And so grateful I could sob.

I am so incredibly honored to have my story, "Justice In New Texas" featured in the Hooghly Review's special murals edition, inspiring and edited by an amazing guest editor. This space western was fun to write and I'm so pleased that you loved it. Thank you for allowing me to work with you!

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
