Welcome to my current wip… temporarily titled DARK. This queer, historical horror novella has a monster that demands flesh, fucking cowboys, & more trans rage than I know what to do with. Aiming to be done with this by the beginning of 2026. Playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/7F7...

My outline for DARK wip is almost done, so I booked a short writing retreat for myself to start getting those words down! The lake is right outside and the owner has cats! ☀️

With everything going on in the US, it’s so hard to be creative. Despite that, we need to create. Write it out. Write out of spite. Tear up the page with words. Until your fingers cramp and gasp.

Someone said my most recent novel had too many evil gay men jacking off and fucking. 🫠 Well, just wait until you read my next book, buddy 🖤

Next meeting is tomorrow, Monday night at 6pm!! If you’re in central CT, join us and get some words written. ✍🏼

Transgender horror (aka horror with transgender main characters or transgender themes/metaphors) I loved or am looking forward to reading, a rec list! #samreads

I’m on a wonderful group holiday and as we near the end I fear that the human shape is faltering. (Lycanthropy or neurodivergence?? The answer is yes’)

The reason that weighted blankets help my anxiety is that my body remembers what it is like to be swaddled in mammoth furs, and it yearns.

I have always struggled to articulate why I don’t enjoy typical “romantasy” books — so I’m glad Willow was able to do it for me! We should never tell people what they can and cannot enjoy, but this kind of critical thinking is important now more than ever. youtu.be/jZOgZ_u0Awk?...

I don’t want to “streamline” my writing. I don’t want to “increase my output.” I don’t want to “write a novel with one click.” I want to write stuff only I can write. I want to read and write novels with soul and heart and a unique voice. Fuck AI. Long live real writers.

Ursula K. Le Guin on the true pain of being a writer

I finished five novels before BLACKBIRDS was ever published — none good and all necessary to write. That doesn’t include the many more novels I began and never finished. I still think of myself as a failed novelist — my failures outweigh my successes and I am glad for that. Failure teaches.
