I'm literally so excited for Volume II but I can't YAP about it because it's all spoilers.

Benjamin, my beloved boy. 😌💖 youtube.com/live/FZglCKF...

I have a strong desire to draw kisses but I must perform my silly little tasks and earn currency.

I was recording a speed paint & you can see the exact moment I lost pen sensitivity and my will to live began unraveling.

Dismantling your outfit with one side-eye.

All I'm going to say is, if you're going to resell vintage books for $10/pop, the least you can do is not be stupid enough to leave the $1.00 charity shop price sticker on it.

Today was a whirlwind. On the bright side of it: I got the job promotion I interviewed for!

It's all fun & games until you open up your WIP manuscript & find "how long to saute carrots for" in the narration.

Sketch of a Secret Project™ flavored Cyril.

I'm so exhausted from the wedding & work that I might have to give in & take a couple of evenings after work off just to recharge. I hate it. Taking downtime is like admitting defeat.

I don't want to be at work! I want to be out thrift store shopping!

Y'all remember Morph from Treasure Planet? This is him now.

A dastardly deviant. 🤨🧐 www.youtube.com/live/_OC67qn...

I'm a writer. :V

A Father's Day sketch for the worst father of all time. [ #oc #originalcharacter #originalcharacterart ]

"It's you, isn't it?" "It could very well be me. How badly do you want to know?"

Earlier this week, my mom sent me home with some leftover hamburgers my dad had grilled & some buns. I don't know what witchcraft she or my dad worked on these, but having one as a late lunch today - it tastes exactly like a school lunch cheeseburger from childhood. Pure nostalgia.

I'm all moved in & finally have internet! 🥳

Moving day is Sunday!

Last stream before I move house! 🥳 www.youtube.com/live/r5woO6P...

I am A Parent and Cyril is my Disgusting Son. But also Worldbuilder. I keep that crispy lore under lock & key, though. No spoilers around these here parts. You'll just have to read.

I bit the inside of my cheek & am in a special kind of hell.

The hunt is over. I am finally moving! 🎉

Bad Man says :)

Been putting pressure on my colleague to communicate more. He told me he's "trying to be better about it". My brother in Christ, you told me a meeting was happening three minutes before it started. That ain't an improvement. (aaaaaaaaa)

I am! so sick! of house hunting!

For Easter tomorrow, my dear mum asked me to bring hot cross buns from "a good bakery". WELL. I have combed our robust selection of local bakeries to no avail. In fact, when I inquired, these employees acted appalled that I'd even think they sell the cheeky things. Sorry, mum. Grocery store it is.

With every bonkers bit of information I see about Windows 11, the more & more I consider moving to Linux. :V

I'm pretty pleased with how the Secret Project's manuscript is looking. I'm on the final few stages of editing, and this one character has been on & off the chopping block. I have to decide if I keep them... maybe my beta readers can tell me. 🤔

I know Goodreads is kinda meh and Amazon is the evil overlord, but please post your ratings and reviews there, even if you also post to StoryGraph, Fable, blogs, YouTube, etc. They’re not the best, but they’re still the places with the most visibility for indie authors.

Cozy at home after my weekend away. The good news is I did lots of writing on the Secret Project! The bad news is I decided I wanted to rework part of the plot, so I need to do a bunch of rewriting. 😒 If I have enough caffeine in my veins, I may still finish the draft by tonight...

Everyone I know is clambering into my DMs to tell me Cyril can -finally- wear an eye patch and a hat together in XIV. But, have they fixed my man's face? That's the real question. (I'm still mad about it.)

It's a lovely Sunday & Cyril is a terrible man. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TIC...
