*coming out of your walls* Hey do you want to read a 🏳️‍⚧️ second chance romance about a run away reuniting with his bsf who doesn't recognize him after ten years and a medical transition?

There's a writing contest happening in my area, and I wrote a deeply personal piece for submission. But now I'm too scared to send it off 😱

👽🌸 We need trans joy, too 🌸👽 #writingcommunity #snippet #onsubmission art by @cleadraw.bsky.social <3

I got a hard pass today. My book is too trans for trad pub. Still, I will never let myself believe that there isn't a place for voices like mine. If Aiden Thomas can, I can. If Page Powars can, I can. If AJW can, I can. If so many other insanely talented and wonderful trans authors can, SO CAN I!

New week, new #editorsguide! 👽🌸 FLOWERS FOR A MARTIAN 🌸👽 is a love letter to small hometowns, found/blood family, and loss/grief in all its forms (yes, even the messy ones). Thank you @authorkateduarte.bsky.social for this beautiful guide!!

I only wrote three paragraphs in my WIP today but a win is a win

Oh We are SO back 😘 (Art by @runicwren.bsky.social graphic by me <3)

All the reasons Stevie and Adam will NEVER work (unless they fake it 🤭)

Every day is a #WIP pitch day if you're unhinged enough Picture this: > She's bi > He's trans > Their exs are getting married > So they team up to fake an engagement and then crash the wedding 🤭

Oh y'all are NOT ready for my current #WIP #writingcommunity (thank you @comicsbycass.bsky.social for the art hehe)
