One of the weirdest aspects of truly committing to write this memoir is that I feel like I have to study and research my history the way I study LGBTQ+ or fandom history for fun. I've spent about as much time poring over old blogs, emails, and texts as I have writing which feels wild. #bvm #WriteSky

What a great day to celebrate the birth of Haymitch Abernathy and nothing else I can think of! 🎂 #BookSky #TheHungerGames

I realized my previous #WIPSnips have both been about grief, so today I wanted to share a more positive snippet from a moment that healed part of the heartbreak I expressed in my first shared snippet. #bvm #QueerWriters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #memoir

#FridayReads I just started The Grief Keeper by Alexandra Villasante and am experiencing an unexpected emotional connection between this book and Dawn by Octavia E. Butler. #BookSky #BookSkyChat

The White House is openly saying they want to eliminate a minority group and people still want to say this is about sports.

This month I finished 2 books: Flying Solo by Ralph Fletcher and My Older Brother, A Famous Rapper by Alyesha Wise. Share your thoughts on these books and check out mine on my blog! 📚💙 #bookreviews

Last month marked 15 years since I first came out publicly as bisexual. Before Pride Month ends, I wanted to explore what it means to me to have been out this long. #bvm #QueerWriters #WriteSky

Today's #WIPSnips excerpt comes from one of the hardest chapters I have written so far and features a passing reference to my favorite singer, Tori Amos, whose music held me through a grief I'm still coming to terms with all these years later. #WriteSky #bvm #QueerWriters

Deciding to completely restart writing a memoir while my therapist is on maternity leave makes me question the progress I've made in therapy on building my self-compassion because why would I do this to myself if I loved myself? #amwriting #bvm #writesky

I'm not even Catholic but I'm definitely adding "But the Pope wants you to!" to my personal list of motivational phrases when I don't want to write because I hate everything I'm coming up with.

Somehow, it feels very true to my nature that my very first #WIPSnips post is on the word "finale" (or, in my case, "end" since finale doesn't show up in my current writing project). #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

I'm curious: Are there any writers still using Liquid Story Binder XE besides me? I couldn't fully wrap my brain around it when I bought it in its heyday but a few years ago it finally fully clicked in my brain when working on my current book and it's still working for me. #writesky #amwriting

The Earthseed series introduced me to Octavia E. Butler, but the Lilith's Brood/Xenogenesis trilogy rewrote my brain chemistry and made me a little obsessed with her. My current goal is to read something by her every two years until I've read everything she's published.

Working on a book where you have to go back emotionally to places you haven't been in over a decade is not for the faint of heart 😫 The only silver lining is that it's forcing me to listen to songs I used to love that I haven't listened to in forever #amwriting

All About Loving Black Women/Ourselves A week or so ago, I took myself to see Mickalene Thomas’ exhibit, All About Love, at the Barnes Foundation, and ever since then I’ve been thinking lots of thoughts. About Black womanhood. About art. About purpose and connection and alignment and truth.
