Okay, this new short story is way, way, way too dark for its intended purpose, so I’ll have to brainstorm something more appropriate afterward. In the meantime, I’ll keep channeling Clive Barker.

Getting my dark romance slut on with this short story I’m writing. Not sure what pit of hell this is coming from but I’m already at 1k out of 10k. It’ll remain to be seen if I can actually use it for its intended purpose. 😅

Had to write a story under 10k. Finished this one at 9.5k. Now I just have to do it again for a different anthology. 😂 For someone who learned how to write while reading a lot of Stephen King books, this level of brevity is Herculean.

Never be afraid to write your heart out. To write your ass off. To write until your hands cramp. Because when you look back at the miles of ink behind you you might just have a masterpiece.

This 10k word story has yet to go off the rails. And I’m pretty sure I have a bead on the plot. Of course, my muse couldn’t help but to include a small morsel I can expand upon in another story, though. Because of course it did.

Call him before Congress, start reading out his SSN and those of everyone in his family, and ask him when he wants it to stop.

I swear I’m an author of smutty vampire books and not merely a political activist. God, I so desperately want to go back to writing silly little stories and not having to fight for my life.

We’re getting closer to the point, sir. Thank you. That said, mobilize us. We desperately need to know where our hands and feet are needed. This has to be active.

I wonder if we can all file a class action lawsuit against Elon Musk. Just throwing that out there.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

Gonna start msging @schumer.senate.gov ever hour on the hour with the message “Do something” here soon.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

A true Kennedy has spoken

Writing a 10k story is requiring more of an outline than a 90k novel does.

God. I have work deadlines and stories to finish and life is just hurtling from one existential nightmare to another.

Yes. I agree. WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT IT???

Tonight, I called my method for fleetingly engaging with the news “microdosing the apocalypse” and its depressing how real that is.

I love that I’m building a family of feral possums. Like, we’re all traumatized as fuck, but our memes are fire.

That moment when you’re looking at your publishing deadlines and realize one of them is coming up faster than you anticipated.

All of this:

Entering my dark romance/erotic horror/ultra queer supernatural fantasy era. If nothing else, this bullshit has made the gloves come off; I no longer give a shit what anyone thinks about my brain flotsam.
