The cover reveal for my sophomore poetry collection, Poems I Shouldn't Write, is coming up on December 6th. Excited to show off the photography of Sadie Randall and my own design work. Tell me about a time when you’ve written something that felt “too much.” #bskybooks #bskyauthors #bskywriters

Very cool.

People are out there acting like Oct. 7th is the whole/most important part of the story. It’s honestly infuriating that legislators are stuck on what happened that day when a genocide has been playing out in Palestine every day for the last two years and in different ways for almost over 100 years.

I’m open for sensitivity reading. If you’re an author writing about an identity or experience that doesn't belong to you, you may need a sensitivity reader to check your portrayal for accuracy and cultural awareness. Learn more about my services at tendingverses.com.

🌳 An Agent's Guide to BETWEEN VIRIDIAN TREES 🌳 A lush, folkloric monster romantasy between a downtrodden candle-seller and the mysterious stranger whose reappearance turns her life upside down. Suddenly embroiled in an ancient conspiracy, Minot must choose: tell the truth now, or lie forever?

#BluePit #DIS #TR #LGBT #ND #YA #F Three gay witches---a transfemme autist, a burnt out prodigy, and a runaway music witch---and a sentient plant must hide from the peering eyes of witch society for three months. Cue magical training montages, emotional exploration, and a helping of sapphic love.

The chemistry is there between Casey and H.D., but H.D. is too preoccupied with the breakup of their QPR to notice. As the two spend more time together, perceived obstacles fall away until all that keeps them apart is fear. 💞Friends to Lovers 💕Found Fam ♠️Ace Rep #bluepit📖 #A #R #LGBT #Dis #WIP

H.D. is a painter, they would do horribly in finance. Tabby is a caterer and would do fine as a server, but would hate it. Casey works for Tabby, and she would co-own the business. Raina would run an Inn. Page is a mystery, her life is books. Margaret would run a bookshop. #ComJunity

Two Aces, Will They Wont They, Wacky Love Geometry, and Found Family. Try to connect the dots. #LGBTQWriteAThon

I’m just the writer. In other words, I might have the spark of an idea that helps shape a story, but the characters are what guide me. #QueerPrompts

I’m very anxious. I’m going to move right after getting back from vacation. I’ve been looking for work and I’ve been coming up dry. I feel like my skills and talents aren’t appreciated, and I don’t feel like I am able to be connected to community in the ways I would like to. #MovingAnxiety 1/2

Tabby would cook an amazing duck and collards. H.D. would bring the succotash their mom taught them to make. Raina would bring stuffed acorn squash. Casey would decide to do a honey cornbread, at the last minute. Page would be reading a book. #ComJunity #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

I recently went to LavenderCon, a queer book conference in DC. I unknowingly walked to a panel with two of the panelists. Two of us had a great conversation. They showed interest in my writing. The panel was great and I bought their book. #ComJunity #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

I’m so excited about this chapter, which I started writing for my WIP yesterday. I think the POV is interesting for the context of the chapter. I’m writing a dual-perspective book, and this chapter is forcing me to stretch my skills.

In my WIP, H.D. would be the one folks listen to in the group. Page or Raina would represent the group to others. H.D. is honest and compassionate. Page is uncompromising and firm. Raina is persuasive, intimidating, and caring. #ComJunity #WritingComunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts

I’ve been writing some personal essays lately, and I kinda love it. I haven’t traditionally been into essay writing, but I’m enjoying myself. My life isn’t the most exciting, so there’s not much pulp to pull from, though. What topics do you enjoy reading about in essays? #creativenonfiction

ACES FALL HARDER The chemistry is there between Casey and H.D., but H.D. is too preoccupied with the breakup of their QPR to notice. As the two spend more time together, perceived obstacles fall away until all that keeps them apart is fear. 💞Friends to Lovers 💕Found Fam ♠️Ace Rep #WIPPIT #A #R

ACES FALL HARDER After their QPR ends, H.D. turns to their friend, Casey, for support. Casey has a crush on H.D., which she hides to be a good friend. H.D. and Casey’s lives expand because of their connection. 💔The Broken Heart 💞Friends to Lovers 💕Found Fam ❤️‍🔥Slow Burn #WIPPIT #A #R #LGBT

H.D. is respected for their reliability and wisdom, but my other MC, Casey, is a bit messy. Casey isn’t disrespected, but she’s not the most organized, and sometimes makes choices that backfire for herself and others.

H.D. wakes up to their friend after an emotional night, having just been left by their queer platonic partner. Casey, said friend, is too aware of her feeling for H.D. She’ll push them down to be a good friend. Both need to grow if they’ll ever admit to what’s between them. #QuestPit #A #RF

The Kickstarter for my sophomore poetry collection did not meet its goal. I still plan to publish. I’ll just have to learn book formatting, create my cover, and do all the publicity on my own. I’m a bit nervous but it’s always good to gain new skills.

An ace poem from my poetry memoir, “From the Yellow House and On.”

I would love to say that it doesn’t matter, but I think I would prefer three shorter books. If I were reading a 900 page book I would probably not finish even if the book was compelling because I would be too overwhelmed by how much there is to read and get discouraged. 1/2
