I’ve been working on this WIP for over a year and none of the characters names have changed. Until today when Rory became Riley??? Okay bro maybe we can talk about that in revisions but not right now

I made a mistake today

Writing is hard. It’s even harder with two large breed puppies JUMPING ON YOU AT ALL TIMES.

I WONT fix him I WILL make him worse energy by me

I like gaslighting the dayjob A Eye that i have to use by giving it the thumbs down on its output every single time even if it DOES give me something usable.

Couldn’t find my rolling pin so I used a beer

the storytelling in goodbye earl is, quite frankly, better than Shakespeare. The Chicks could write Romeo and Juliet but Shakey Boi could never write goodbye earl.

apparently, nobody I speak to irl understands how nice I think it would feel to take out my eyeballs and put them in some very cold cream for a bit

I don’t think 2025 is gonna be my year. I’m pretty sure I’ve already had my year. I do not know which one it was.

Chappell roan covering “crazy birch” by buck cherry would actually be sick

My Portuguese rooster magnet fell off the fridge and his head fell off!!! So I glued it but also put a green ribbon on. Real ones know about the green ribbon 🤘🏻

I keep forgetting about this app but I don’t hate it here.

Idk the puppies are almost four months old. I think they can hear Freak On A Leash.

I don’t need advice or tricks, I simply need validation that a lot of these people are douchebags

“It must be NICE having OCD! Your house must be so clean.” Motherfcker it looks like a Chewy warehouse blew up in here OCD has nothing to do with tidiness.

you’d think working in a healthcare adjacent field that people would know what IS and IS NOT OCD but here we are, saying “I’m so OCD” over a slightly off center graphic. meanwhile in hell, i randomly thought about putting my hand in a meat slicer while working the deli last night.

Apparently when I say “if my eye doesn’t stop twitching, I’m going to remove it with a spoon!” people get upset and I ruin dinner.

I saw a guy that could have gotten very far in the Chris Evans lookalike competition and he was polite to the supermarket deli employee (me.)

I just have so many things to write for you all, but first I made a bunch of slides for some stakeholders at my day job because that’s what I want to be doing at 11pm

Of course I hit a groove writing 10 minutes before I have to go to my part time job… Buy my books so I don’t have to do this anymore! (I actually like my part time job I’m just so burned out with all the things…)

well my dog just sat his entire bony teenage German shepherd butt on my boob so I think I’m clear another few years before I need another mammogram

lol my pitbull gave me another story idea as if I’m not neck deep in something I’m already taking too long to finish

if I were to say “he’s the kind of man who makes you listen to Sabrina Carpenter as preventative healthcare” what would you think?

teaching my dogs to “sing along” to counting worms by knocked loose instead of writing still counts as creativity

I need to write but there is so much LAUNDRY

the puppies put gingie the gingerbread boy in timeout 😂

#ocd is rumination about how guilty you feel for being a pitbull advocate but then getting two non pit puppies (Doberman/German Shepherd mixed.) I feel like a poser.

playlist went from espresso by sabrina carpenter to hatefck by motionless in white and the vibes are weird

it’s the puppies 13th week of life and we’re celebrating by hearing My Chemical Romance’s “Welcome to the Black Parade” album for the first time. (ok fine it’s not my first time but…) #elderemo #dobermanshepherd

i opened up this chapter (that I LITERALLY only have to read through and do light markups on) over an hour ago and have not even started because i am so obsessed with these dogs

the cat is ~15 years old. if he wants a taste of some chicken tikka masala, then so be it. he’s a man of variety! a true foodie!

I have been reading Last Days by Adam Nevill since September 16th. It’s terrifying and i can only read a little at a time, so I’m just SAVORING having the absolute bee Jesus scared out of me every night when i let the puppies out.

8 Below. I have never been so violently upset by a movie in my life.

the enjoyment i got from walking with Fritz earlier is dwarfed by the annoyance that “just taking a walk” does in fact improve my mental wellbeing

please clap i wrote 1,100 words today

Fritzy’s first walk! Two miles down the back road shook loose some inspiration for my book and burned some of this little terror’s energy. He had the best time and didn’t roll in the dead opossum we saw.

it must be really fun (not fun) being in a relationship with me because I’ll get an idea in my head thanks to OCD and without prompting be like “hey can you please not break my knees when we go to bed” as if there was any chance of that happening

rural Maine is just endless stretches of road measured in four way intersections that have a dollar store in one corner and a weed store that was once and illegitimate bait and tackle shop.

i made focaccia

sometimes it is truly exhausting being a people pleaser and a person who tends to look out for people who need support. someone teach me how to take a break!

Am I allowed to say FUCK on this app or do I have to be silly about it

homegirl omens helping with some work training and then, more importantly, helping me remember when to use lay vs. lie vs. laid in writing. she doesn’t really know but she’s really confident with her suggestions.

ADHD is thinking “Im gonna put on Knocked Loose and get some writing done” but then half an hour passes and at some point you put on Noah Kahan instead and the vibes are confusing.

why the heck is my boyfriend doing geometry for fun right now? honestly I’d rather he be liking other girls’ photos.

There is a lot of me in this one, and the mashup of OCD and horror and wildlife rehab is going to hurt.

Anyone else having a really hard time getting any writing done lately? I have the time and I wrote like 5 lines yesterday in the grocery store (not on the clock) but anything more feels impossible #horrorauthor #indieauthor

sorry to nobody except the opossum whose night I just ruined singing “please take a sh!t” to the tune of I’m just a kid by simple plan. Fritzy was taking too long and I didn’t know the opossum would look so distressed upon hearing my song.

someone on a dayjob call mentioned that my outfit was nice, which sucks because it’s my deli uniform and I’m just sick of doing laundry

If you’re a horror author or reader who followed me and I haven’t followed you back, please tell me!

I just wrote what I think is the funniest line in this horror WIP that truly captures what it’s like to have an OCD obsessive/limerant crush and it really works despite being my DARKEST book yet
