On Mac it’s shift, option, hyphen. You’re welcome. :3

I actually worked on 10k words while sick with Covid and away from work last week. Wild.

Cut my hair, and I love it. I'm currently visiting Atlanta to spend time with my twin sister, her wife, and my best friend. We're also looking at wedding dresses.

Who would’ve thinkedythonk that taking a brisk walk in the crisp morning air will make one feel joyful

I drew my 7th and 8th art fights last night, and I might be done for the season. I'm so tired but I'm happy with the work I've done. #artfight #artfight2025

damn maybe past me really was cooking

I did the thing! 🥺 🔗 ko-fi.com/c/6c2765e583

Last night, I stayed up past my bedtime to paint Jinu. I watched Kpop Demon Hunters for the fourth time while painting because I'm obsessed. Now, I'm up for work, barely awake. #jinu #kpopdemonhunters #art #artsky #sajaboys

It was the anniversary of meeting my wife yesterday. I occasionally write little poems for her. I stay up late in the night because of my work, and it gives me a lot of time to think about her. Sorry if it's cringe lol, but I hope everyone can feel the way I do someday. To be cringe is to be free.

Attacks on @malizias.bsky.social and @narney.bsky.social !! More incoming in the coming days, will be sporadically posted. #ArtFight2025 #Art

I am so excited about Art Fight this year. Also, I've been so productive when it comes to art lately, and I'm extremely proud of myself. #artist #artsky #artfight

Writing can be a labyrinth of edits, but remember, every story deserves its moment to shine. Embrace imperfection and let your words fly free. 📚✨ #BookSky #Books

Time-lapse painting of my nonbinary earth genasi wizard, Shai, from a past D&D heist one shot. They are so much fun and I need to bring them back. Also. They're a part of my #artfight this year. #artsky #artist #painting

Here's my Team Crystals card for #artfight2025 #fossilsvscrystals #artsky #artist #artfight

Since ArtFight is about to start in 8 days, remember ArtFight isn’t about receiving the best & professional artworks of your OCs Do not shit on beginners art because that’s like super shitty, from now on if I someone only commenting on the “good” art but ignores the beginner art I won’t attack you

How I feel hopping online to promote my little queer knights book:

The 125 open tabs is so real.

i genuinely try, when i can, to say every nice thing that pops into my head out loud. especially to friends and family, ESPECIALLY the ones I am closest to, because i think we have a tendency to go "oh, we're close so they already know" and save our compliments for people we don't know as well.

Juneteenth went uncelebrated by the White House. That alone says everything you need to know about this regime.

If I had a dollar for every time someone said “I wish I could sell my book as adult fiction but it’s not spicy so I’m forced to sell it as YA” I would be able to stop making social media content entirely Folks. No one is gonna force you to spice up your book. Adult books can be G rated.

People are like “your husband is your editor? I bet he’s too soft on you.” Meanwhile, I remember every compliment he’s given my work because it doesn’t happen terribly often. (Tonight it was “I forgot how satisfying the end of Fortune’s Calling is” so I will be riding that one for a while.)

Writing a novel was the most frustrating, bleak experience but I did it. So I'm writing a novella, which I'd done previously to the novel, and now I can say: oh this? I can do that. The struggle is important. It builds the muscle. In art you must struggle (I don't mean financially) to improve.

I turned in my short story entry last night. An hour before it was due, I rewrote the first 400 words. It was scary but necessary for a better beginning. Thank goodness I have a SIL who tells me that sections are shaky or bad. She's constructive, which is what I need. #writersky #author

Someone will love your book. Someone will hate your book. And this has nothing to do with how well or poorly it's executed, but with the person reading. Whatever you want to write about in sincerity is beautiful. Don't attach its reception to your self-worth. #BookSky #Writing #WeeknightWriters
