If you’re going to make art for the next four years, it should be uncensored, loud, and dangerous.

So, in other news, a couple weeks ago, I decided to write a concept chapter in order to flesh out a specific character better for my current WIP. Well, that """concept chapter""" now looks like it's going to be a novella... It has a villain. A PLOT... THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN............

It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

The witch linocut-in-progress I’ve been posting is an illustration for a series of short stories I’m working on. One of those stories is in the Unapologetic Love anthology, which is raising money for the ACLU.

Today is the day! Spend this otherwise bleak day reveling in queer joy and resilience. Spend it supporting the ACLU and uplifting queer indie authors. Spend it resisting hatred and bigotry. Spend it celebrating love and the strength of community. Grab your copy here: mybook.to/unapologetic...

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Pleased to share this anthology, Unapologetic Love: A Charity Anthology of Radical Resilience. All proceeds will be donated to the ACLU, and while I do not have anything featured in this volume, I will have my first published short story appearing in Vol 2 at a later date!! tinyurl.com/2776a57n

#WIPSnips Searching for the term "spin" has shown me the ridiculous number of times I've used the word "spine" in this WIP lol. Today's snippet is a harrowing scramble to survive hostile waters...!

#WeeknightWriters I'm hoping to finish the rewrite of my current WIP. Then I intend to go through and make a list of further adjustments I want to make to it. Hoping to get all my intended edits made to this draft and then get feedback on it...!

Throwing up some art of my main character, Mani, from my WIP. In this image, he looks way more intimidating than he actually is lol

#WIPSnips Who knows lol Well, I am very close to finishing the rewrite for my current WIP. After that, I hope to put together a list of further adjustments that it's going to need. I hope to finish those fixes and then maybe get some beta readers to look at it...!

#WIPSnips Had to go with a synonym this time since apparently no one in this WIP is responsible lmao. I went with "manage". In this scene, Sadie has a moment of confidence squashed.... 😭

Struggling to give your work a title? Best advice I ever got came from @thetomska.bsky.social - “If I say it out loud, can you spell it right first time?”

#FirstDraftFall Finished a chapter this morning! Now I'm going to be heading into the home stretch with the final chapters...... If I don't swerve off the outline again lol

#FirstDraftFall One of my side characters certainly does. He tends to sink himself deeper into his workaholic tendencies to cope. He has likely burnt himself out more than once doing that. 😭

When writing a novel, you aren't writing one story. You're writing a story for each character, then criss-crossing those stories all together.

#FirstDraftFall I think I've reached the end of the current chapter, but I'm not QUITE sure where I want the stopping point to be. I already know how I'm going to start the next chapter, though! I have also swerved off my outline and straight into chaos, so that's fun. 😆

#FirstDraftFall Yes! Two more POVs: Rocío, an easy-going witch who would give you a hand if you're in a jam. She's also fascinated with and studies demons 👀 Then there's Sadie, a detective for a paranormal investigation agency who's relatively new to the job with a hefty dose of imposter syndrome.
