I'm officially ✨️vague✨️

Posting my beautiful guide by @helena_author on the other app to celebrate...something. Look for more Phoebe-related news soon.

Obviously, if I'm posting about my WIP about a sentient mushroom that gets implanted into my MC's body, I have to post the YOU CANNOT KILL ME IN A WAY THAT MATTERS tumblr post 🍄✨ #UnhingedPit #A #R #F #W

I know they call this the trenches, but I never expected my own CHARACTERS to reject my queries 😅 #UnhingedPit #YA #F #LGBT #amquerying

Scrubs x Supernatural Medical Drama! Family Angst! Inappropriate Workplace Relationships! #UnhingedPit #A #F #Q

The tide was so far in I had to dive to swipe the grasses, but I caught a couple of Pipefish and this adorable baby Spiny Boxfish.

The start of Pride Month feels like the perfect time to drop an updated #agentsguide for my sapphic contemporary fantasy, Gator Girls.

Tulip snails are my favorite.

Florida has 21 species of native milkweed, but this one, Asclepias incarnata, is my favorite.

It's all over our beaches, but not many people know the value of Railroad Vine in home landscapes. Salt tolerant, fast growing, and easy to propagate...what's not to love?

Found my biggest pipefish, smallest puffer, and a gorgeous Tulip Snail. An excellent beach day.

"Would you still love me if I was a worm?" Yes, and I'd find you some healthy compost to eat.

Ahhhhhh, my daughter made Safety Patrol! She's wanted it since 2nd grade. Nothing else matters today.

I made the mistake of mass correcting "Ines" to "Inez" for one of the characters in my sci-fi romance. I forgot how many words have "ines" in them. Beta readers, I'm so sorry.

They're all over the place, but I still feel lucky today.

Sugar Apples are so tasty, and they have such pretty blooms.

Lots of ladybugs and almost-ladybugs on our trap plants today. Integrated pest management for the win.

There are two wolves (possums) inside of me. One wants to do #questpit because it's always a good time. The other is hyperfixated on my current WIP. The wolf (possum) of neurodivergence will probably win.

OK, Phoebe has been waiting long enough. It's time to dive into the 2nd draft of my sci-fi romance.

May the 4th be with you!

Puffers are extra cute after mealtime.

I love Geiger Tree blooms. Another win for planting natives in Florida.

I just had an idea about my sci-fi romance that makes my LI more likeable, fleshes out his and my MC's backstories, and showcases one of my favorite side characters. Gah, I'm itching to start this second draft.

We've hit the binging Doctor Who part of the flu. Kiddo wants to watch the episode where her namesake dies. I don't think I'm emotionally prepared.

It's our 11th wedding anniversary. Kid is still sick, so we're celebrating by pretending we aren't next.

Kiddo was throwing up all night, now the only place she can sleep is next to me. Don't think I'm getting much accomplished today, but I'll never grudge comforting my baby.

Nice haul today. Can you spot the two puffer fish?
