Y'all, I made ONE change, ONE decision, and now I'm basically rewriting the entire novel because it irrevocably alters the relationship of two major characters

Draft 1: peaceful convo around a fire where characters explain magical creatures Draft 4: super heated, characters being held back before they jump on each other, and the magical creatures are now created with dead bodies I love writing fantasy even though it takes 100 years 💙

MERCY is part of the sale this weekend! I've got the ebook marked down to 1.99 currently. If you like queer, dark, religious trauma books about healing with spots of warmth then you should give it a look! Especially as summer is winding down, its a perfect read for fall 💖

Messy emotions, the kind people may not always proud of, especially concerning love. I tend to tear up when writing difficult scenes of characters trying to navigate or confront these emotions.

Two main things: I can't write characters as complex as I imagine them to be, and my writing style is too simple/elementary. This whole book is a struggle (which I'm determined to complete though)

Today VESUVIUS releases, and I’m a published author. Felix’s story came from a place of hurt, but by the love of the hands it’s passed through, it became one of healing. Even as a writer, I’ll never find the words to thank those who held me through it. Now the story is yours.

I posted my trailer yesterday for The Devil in the Woods' updated ebook and soon to be paperbacks, but I really wanted to show the coverspread without text bc I'm very happy with it. The old one was old, and while it has a special place in my heart, I was glad to have the chance to remake the cover.

I thought employees weren't supposed to ask about the books people buy. Why is this older lady asking me if books are shrink-wrapped because theyre risque, while checking out all my bl shrink-wrapped books! And WHY DO YOU CALL ME OUT AND SAY MY FACE IS RED???

Can't believe I just wrote a line about “a sorrow so black” in my novel, referencing Ivan’s Black Sorrow, because the character is in an unrequited love that hurts too much aaAAAHHHHHH Alien Stage has affected me on a molecular level at this point

I am forever obsessed with RamaThornArt’s (twt) cover for Mal! Painted with watercolors to get that perfect fairy tale feeling, I love it 💙
