Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy book birthday @vvmontalban.bsky.social!! Pancake and I are so excited to read this book.

My toxic writing trait is rereading my favorite book while I’m drafting and then comparing my WIP to a book that’s a work of art

I’m 40 and I don’t feel like enough of a grown up to plan things with other parents. I’m always like OH NO WHAT IF THEY FIGURE OUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM DOING.

Welcome to day eleven of my series where I document myself turning into a feral author that flees into the forest to avoid editing this novel. Let’s get started.

Couple on house hunters: I just don’t really like anything about this house Realtor: Well you could always just tear the entire thing down and build a brand new house on the lot

Holiday gifts aren’t that complicated. She wants a murder of crows she can befriend that will do her bidding, bring her shiny objects, and attack her enemies. Also, she wants books. Hope this helps. ❤️

I don’t dress for the male gaze. I dress for the gaze of a coven that might need another witch.

Sell my horror novel Finish editing this book Finish writing my horror WIP Start writing another book

Enjoy.

Last day to bid!

Pancake!

I forgot to shave my legs but I’m going to wear a dress anyway. Going into today with big cactus energy.

I find it really difficult to write anything this time of year. So this year, instead of beating myself up like I usually do, I’m giving myself permission to rest.

Working on a new drawing

My kid asked who my favorite character is in plants vs zombies and obviously it’s the haunted chicken nugget

The internet is built on a throne of lies. Recipe/cooking influencers, there is NO WAY your everyday cookie sheets look so pristine. Mine look like they were dredged from the hull of the titanic.

If only my art teachers could see me now

Sometimes I feel like a robot that’s been turned into a human because at least twice a day I’m like—this meat suit requires sustenance AGAIN?

I just finished the audiobook of The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas and I loved this book so much. 😭 I don’t want it to be over.

This horror WIP is hitting very close to home. Hope it terrifies you too, I guess. 🫠

Two hundred years ago couples would send love letters to one another. And here I am texting my spouse instagram videos instead of walking to the other couch to show them. I’m so romantic.

Happy Friday

Tried to get a good pic of pancake but he looks like he saw a ghost

I don’t find cleaning commercials relatable because no one ever says “this house is clean” like Tangina when they’re done.

I haven’t posted many of my Godzilla photoshops here. Enjoy.

Love carefully creating a plot just so my characters can absolutely ignore me and do whatever they want.

Absolutely wild that Sub-zero left the Mortal Kombat franchise to create refrigerators.

This entire administration is going to be made up of comic book villains

Horror WIP now at 22k.

I’m really happy with how these turned out.

Was that email really spam or were you just upset it wasn’t the email you were waiting on

Happy Friday

I am over the moon (M O O N) to be in this anthology.

I used to post all my funny thoughts on twitter and now I see people using my old tweet screenshots to sell crap to people… so I don’t think I’ll be using social media in the same way anymore.

Haven’t been on here much in a while. Will be more active on here and threads in the future. Looking for all my old twitter friends.

I wrote INTO THE FOREST AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH as a social commentary piece about the epidemic of missing and murdered women in the United States. I’m glad to see to see the murderer of Liberty German and Abigail Williams convicted recently. Into The Forest And All The Way Through a.co/d/8kw5Z0G
