Me: I've been so productive and happy with my productivity today, so why am I now suddenly so miserable and whiny? Friend: Well, it's late in the evening and you've been so productive, have you considered you are now tired? Me: 🤯 ...Right, that's how it works. 😅

Fun new experience: apparently, my brain has declared, in order to finish the big picture edits on book 1, I absolutely have to start drafting book 2 in parallel with doing them, there's no other option. #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters

"It was always nice to hear one's work had caused significant anguish" might be the most KJ Charles line to ever exist. 🤣🤣🤣 @kjcharleswriter.com

As a person who's constantly behind on answering emails, I shall not be a hypocrite. I shall be patient and understanding and just keep waiting for a response to my own email and trust that it will come on time to resolve the matter. Ommmmmm. *refreshes the inbox for the 1,000th time*

This is going to be my affirmation for the day, I guess.

Current mood: So many books, so little time. (Applies to both reading and writing)

September has definitely been a month of seeking balance. I'm not there yet, but something like a result is in sight.

The sucky thing about depression is how damn good it is at joining forces with executive dysfunction and making you fill your days with riveting stuff like "literally laying down staring into the wall for 2 hours straight."

Subtly downgrade a band Of Monsters and a Man

Well don't I feel stupid

Guess who completely missed the announcement about AO3 maintenance 🙃

Me: just here trying to read a romance novel in order to escape the crapsack world where people can't stop killing each other The romance novel:

A second later, somebody grabbed Kastur by the sleeve and Rinouk by the collar, and the next thing Rinouk knew, they were all being shoved toward the door. #WIPSnips

#QueerPrompts Hmm... let's put it this way: I swear I do have some allocishet characters lying around somewhere 😂

#QueerPrompts Given that I write fantasy? Sure. Magic! Eldritch gods! Dungeons full of adventure! People en masse actually giving a shit about the way their personal actions affect the world they live in! Lots of disbelief to suspend.

A push of willpower, an order issued, and a faint amber glow emanated from his fingertips. Within seconds, it grew strong enough to rival the light of the lantern. Slowly, the dust particles on the table began to vibrate, then rise, forming intricate geometric patterns in the air. #WIPSnips

#QueerPrompts When it comes to being able to support themselves and be a semi-functional adult, nearly all of them are. Miq is a notable exception. The plot's just cut him off from his family's money, so far he's in stupor. When it comes to emotional / psychological self-sufficiency though, uhh...😅

#QueerPrompts Jorros is extremely superstitious but takes great care to never show it. He even deliberately flaunts some "rules" in public, then feels extremely anxious. Rennas, on the other hand, adheres to all the little superstition-based rituals out of habit and doesn't believe in them one bit.

#QueerPrompts Hey, I'm Warden, the resident weirdo who keeps forgetting to be consistently present on socials 😅 I mainly exist on discord and 4thewords (the writing rpg) and write queer fantasy romance, current wips ranging from cozy with a touch of eldritch to "crime novel, but they fall in love."

I've said this before, I'll say it again: there is no use case that that technology might, could, maybe have that is worth the costs it incurs in terms of energy, creative theft, and adjacency to oppression and abuse. There's no point in talking to me about the good it could do when it's not. (2/5)

And if by chance you got someone to read the words the regurgitron spat out for you, if someone looked at the text you didn't write and said sure man, that's great, would that fill the hole in your soul? Does that assuage the itch writing scratches, to express yourself and have someone say 'Yes!'?

'I wrote an #elegy for Fred, Master.' 'Really, Igor?' 'Here lies Fred. Fatally hit on the head. We're digging up his coffin. Because my Master is a boffin. He reanimates the dead. Which is why we're digging up Fred.' 'His name's Amos.' 'What the hell rhymes with Amos?' #vss365

Storygraph please, I just want to check the state of my challenges and to archive the April ones... 😔

Do I even have an executive function at all these days

A movie you've watched more than 6 times

Tell me what’s going on in your WIP right now using only a gif.

Cartoon Villains in Power: The Trump & Musk Stand-Up Shitshow would have been darkly hilarious if it wasn't for the sheer number of lives at stake. As it is, it's just fucking dark. I hate it here.

There is a chance of actually getting respect for stick figures and alt text.

Yet another day when I don't know how to explain to someone why it shouldn't be such an outrageous idea to care about other people.

Despite the horrors, I have bills and prescriptions, and I'm staring down the barrel of some dry months. If you're in need of an experienced fiction editor (line and developmental), or sensitivity reader/cultural consultant (Fil-Am, Filipino, trans FtM, and general queer guy experience), hit me up!

These monthly reports are one of the funnest parts of Storygraph, I swear. #booksky 💙📚

- we watch from the foothills as the final rockets rose sonorous and slow suddenly awoken from fission’s sweet slumber it would be a long climb up to the bunker you hold my hand tight smile weakly, lips pursed while all our hopes fade into the gathering gloam - #poetry #vss365 #poetrysky

Artwork for the Folk Horror TTRPG The Woods At Blight's Hollow will be finished by the end of February, I can say this 100% confidently

Me: I've got a weird spot on my knuckle. It must be a brand-new symptom of a previously unknown illness. I bet it's going to kill me. My anxiety can't be wrong about this. Goodbye, cruel world. Me, after washing my hands: ...Oh.

You know what's ableism? Acting like a person with any kind of disabilities can't write a book or story without having a robot's 'help'. Implying that we, by virtue of our disabilities, are incapable of creating on our own. You know what helps *me* write? my fucking medication.

You cannot legislate trans and nonbinary people out of existence.

Good morning! Did you know I have a book coming out in 2025? Tasha Suri called this one ‘magical school with teeth’.

okay, i've improved the bare-bones html personal website template further - added the meta tag to share an image with on social when you share the link. like so! gregpak.nexus/sample/

Gotta love executive dysfunction. I can always count on it to literally waste my time with this awesome "I need to do the thing, but I'm unable to get myself to initiate the process of doing the thing, so I shall spend the day unable to do anything" bullshit. 🙃🤦‍♂️😔

My take on the Gaiman events: It feels like being assured for years that you are drinking clean water, only to find out it was poisoned the whole time. It taints your experiences, making you look at them in new and ugly light. And then you grieve the loss of safety and broken expectations.

This is so spot-on (and equally applies to misgendering)👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

#BookishQOTD 💙📚🌈📚 Found family! I'm here for all flavors, from wholesome to dysfunctional. Just as long as it's presented as a web of unique close relationships, and isn't just "me, my partner, my BFF (barely talks to my partner), and some weirdos who hang out with us because circumstances."

If you see this, post a magic user.
