I don't trust the writers of Stranger Things to actually deliver on a Will/Mike relationship, but I get why everyone thinks they should. It would make a lot more sense than having Elle settle for Mike.

Holidays are coming up. Everyone at the store is terrified. I remain cautiously optimistic. We've brought the framing workshop back from being incredibly behind, and we're in a good position to start getting more orders. Besides, it's only two more months. We'll endure just fine.

Alright, first chapter of a new story is up on Patreon for $6+ patrons! Ethan moves into his college dorm and makes a fool of himself in front of the hot RA in the first chapter of this body-swap romance! www.patreon.com/posts/142423...

Been working hard on the first chapter of a new story, but now I've hit a roadblock where I have no idea what to do for the cover art :/ It's times like these that I wish I was a better digital artist, frankly.

Kodi is a good friend who is trying to raise money for Gamers Outreach, helping to get games to children in the hospital. Please consider throwing a few dollars his way during today and tomorrow!

Our intrepid heroes have met! Now they must go on the run together! Will they escape? Will they fall in love? Will they realize they already know each other?! RAFO!!! #writing #books #romance #rapunzel #roadtrip #romcom #indieauthor www.patreon.com/posts/141651...

I keep thinking it might be fun to learn violin, but I don't know enough about violins to know what I should buy as a starter instrument. I just need something to do with my hands that isn't using a keyboard.

Do you want some Halloween themed wlw stories? Then good news! I've got Frankenstein lesbians, ghostly butch knights charming princesses, and both lesbian and bi vampires. (Oh, and aliens, are those Halloween-y?) www.amazon.com/stores/Fern-... beedok.itch.io

Oh wow! Look at how popular Bloodstained Porcelain is getting! It makes me very happy to see my Doll story doing so well (we are sitting at a respectable rank 45 for doll/puppet stories.) Thank you everyone for reading my still ongoing Doll story.

I didn't get to promote this earlier, but Chapter 16 of Girl Practice has a biiiig twist that will completely change the direction of Riley's development! Come read! www.scribblehub.com/series/14987...

Hello everyone! I'm excited to announce an all new anthology from the Secret Trans Writing Lair! Inspired by the month of masquerade, this seasonal bundle includes seven all-new stories of devilish disguises and macabre delights- itch.io/b/3327/stwl-...

Something that doesn't get litigated enough is the guiding principle of at least American policy that assumes every person is actually a Freeloader, capable of but unwilling to work even when incentivized by a carrot, who NEEDS the threat of starvation to actually get off their butts. 1/3

I got to read a few chapters ahead. It's really good. Scratches the romance itch i have really well

I love laying in bed on my day off and holding my partner @epistemicpolymath.bsky.social super close

I've gotta be honest: even a decade later, there is an a small flutter of joy when I look into the mirror and get to see myself in a dress, or wearing makeup, or just visibly wearing a bra. Small achievements that have never stopped feeling fresh no matter how many times I've done them.

Bills are paid for the month. 😌 Do not have a lot of money left in the budget for groceries the next two weeks, but we will manage.

Here are a couple of ways you can get your hands on my new anthology! You can get either a kindle or paperback version straight from Amazon, but if you're looking for better ways to support the artist (ie, me), you also have... www.amazon.com/dp/B0FSZBZLBK

Chapter 16 of Girl Practice, "Immersed in Lynn," is already available for $6+ patrons on Fluff4Me, and it will be available on Patreon in under an hour! fluff4.me/work/Quill-R...

Wasabi is incredibly spicy without being the least bit hot, and my body does not know what to do with that. I felt it sting in my nasal cavities and cheeks.

Both the ebook and a pdf copy of my new anthology are available not only through my Patreon but also Itch. Both are DRM-free, allowing you to keep them permanently and share them how you like, and only for FIVE dollars! quillrabbit.itch.io/katie-quills...

And it is finally, finally, finally done. My next anthology is now available, featuring six stories (some of which are quite long) from the horror genre all featuring trans women facing and overcoming their demons. Please check it out and enjoy. www.patreon.com/posts/katie-...

Jeez, there really is just a certain type of man who cannot wait to tell a captive audience how much they hate women. I thought people like that were a myth.

My trans horror anthology is fully edited! Now there's nothing left to do but finalize the order of stories and format it for publication. For once, I'm actually going to hit a deadline, though I'm undecided if it should be for Halloween or before that.

I wish someone had warned me that when I lost weight, I'd also lose most of my appetite, and it would become harder to get the calories I need to actually maintain my weight. That being said, I do have to be careful not to fall back into a pattern of binging thoughtlessly sometimes. >w<

Revisiting Super Mario 64 and Sunshine has been a strange experience. I know the versions for Switch are regarded as kind of janky to begin with, but the controls feel really primitive compared to Odyssey. Good to know that it wasn't JUST that I sucked at games as a kid.

I have finally finished the initial redrafting for the final story of my upcoming anthology. It's not a big rewrite, but I've really brought these older stories up to my current standard of prose. I still have some revisions and editing to do, but if I'm committed, I could be done in two weeks.

I am loving the new job, but I am always so tired by the end of the day. Hopefully I'll get used to it. The downside is I have less time to write, but counter-intuitively I have more motivation to get to it when I do have time. Other projects had to move to the backburner, but what you gonna do?

This got lost in the scuffle of the power bill, but please do give this a read if you're at all interested in writing and the struggles of novice/hobbyist writers. I'm trying hard to distill my own experiences down to simple, practical advice that doesn't take much time at all from your day.

Remember that during the off-season, you can still support independent authors by buying one of our previous bundles for only a few dollars! It's more important now than ever as we navigate these unsteady times. quillrabbit.github.io/STWLPresents/

It has been fascinating to watch the rhetoric shift in real time from "America is the best because we get to spend money on luxuries" to "the reason you can't afford a house is because you stupidly spend money on luxuries... like breakfast" over my lifetime.

Perhaps I'm late to the party, but I suspect the appeal of Dark Souls (and FromSoft broadly) is largely its ability to marry intrinsic and extrinsic rewards for improvement. Like Noah Caldwell-Gervais said, the game rewards you with levels if you grind, acting as a de facto difficulty slider...

I am going to miss the old artwork, but there's no denying that this new one is a step up. It helps that it's completely from scratch, line art done by the wonderful ZeeAnna, instead of cobbled together from existing assets.

Well, it has been a DAY, but we managed to raise enough to cover the bill. Any extra donated from here on out will go toward helping the rest of the community. A sincere thank you to everyone who contributed

We only need about $150 more to make this happen. It's our best chance at keeping the lights and AC on. This is what will keep me hard at work both writing and finding a long-term job. We just have to get over this hiccup first.

I released a new blog post today with practical guidance for new writers who need help with fundamentals they aren't able to get from more clickbait-y writing advice videos and articles. Please give it a read! Let me know what you think! www.epistemicpolymath.com/writings/250...

Believe it or not, I managed to fill this page without AI by using something called "reference images." Really made me appreciate the mastery Studio Ghibli has over anatomy and shadows. I bet if I keep this up, I'll be able to make my own Ghibli-inspired at without ever needing to prompt anything!

My family needs to raise just over $300 to keep the power on this month. I won't be able to work on any of my projects or even access the funds I do have tied up in the system. You can help via Cashapp to $t4tclt with note "trans power" or use the attached link: opencollective.com/t4t-charlotte

The epub for THE LOST TRANSITION OF ANNE ELLIPSIS is now available for sale on our Patreon! So, you can just follow along with the weekly updates on Scribble Hub, or you can have the whole thing now for a wee bit of support thrown our way. Thank you! www.patreon.com/posts/epub-o...

There is a new chapter of Girl Practice! Riley gets invited to a house party, but these folks are VERY Christian in a way that makes her nervous. Maybe she can rely on good old William to help her get through the day socially unscathed. Or maybe she's doomed. fluff4.me/work/Quill-R...

It's so muggy in here with the AC out that I'm genuinely having a hard time remembering what I've already done today. And that's on top of being too tired to actually function.

Hello everyone, I have some absolutely thrilling and exciting news for you all. The physical copy of my debut novel: Dullahan's Heart is real! It feels so good to be able to hold my work in a phsyical format.

Hey! If you pledge to me on Patreon, you can get chapters up to two weeks early before they go live! Right now there are two of them up that most people won't see for another week and a half! Come see what happens to the dense Riley as he tries making friends as a girl! www.patreon.com/quillrabbit

I go to the optometrist infrequently enough that every time I do, they have some new sci-fi tech that I could never have imagined. I don't know if it's better tech than what came before, but it definitely felt faster.

I'm fine with FNAF being more than a little mediocre as a franchise. That doesn't bother me. I don't care about lore or the quality of the games. But it's frustrating to learn that Steel Wool, the company mostly in charge of the games now, is apparently just a worse version of Kindly Beast.

I have it in my daily to-do list to reach out to people in my DMs or texts that I haven't heard from recently, and it's actually done an awful lot to help me stay connected and reconnect with people who I used to interact with a lot more frequently. It's never a long conversation, but it feels good.

I don't know why it didn't get said more, but calling ourselves "the developed world" is just as much self flattery as "the first world" but for a tech-obsessed audience. More cowardly too, since it offsets the blame from us to machines.

II don't know if any of you are comic-loving freaks, but this is a really cute comic with a "Magician's Apprentice" vibe by a very talented artist who could use a bit of love. www.artstation.com/artwork/RylgOD

Reformatting my flyer in anticipation of my next anthology coming out later this year. Finding opportunities to hand them out is a little nerve-wracking, but I'm fortunate to have a local trans community that makes this kind of hands-on advertising possible.

In light of everything going on with Itchio, I've uploaded my three published books to Patreon, where you can buy and download them, DRM-free, for only $5 each instead of the more expensive Amazon or more niche storefronts. www.patreon.com/quillrabbit/...
