Writing a novel right now feels like I'm doing it on the deck of the Titanic as a comet is headed to Earth and also I'm covered in fire ants. I'm sure it's fine. Just don't blame me if every fifth paragraph is something like WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IS ANYBODY EVEN READING THIS OH GOD

Wife and I have collabed on something truly great Beef stew 😌

Who’s out here thinking too much on a Monday afternoon 💅🏻

albether wip wednesday is whenever i want it to be. Elysium 2.0 snippet be upon ye 🫵🏻

Title: Call of the Void Rating: idk, M? Tags: AU, Deity Aether Pair: #Albether My Secret Santa gift for Ada on Twitter 🫶 His eyes, the sun’s own fire. He is the very soul of art and music, a perfect creature through and through. This is a god. archiveofourown.org/works/62479318

Personally I just think that one of my full requests should turn into an agent call/offer today. I think that would give my gay ass a little hope for the future.

Read Audre Lorde, Barbara Smith, Jewelle Gomez, Pat Parker, Nikki Giovanni, and Jacqueline Woodson. Watch films by Marlon Riggs and Dee Rees. Listen to Sylvester, Bessie Smith, Luther Vandross, Big Freedia, Brittany Howard, and Janelle Monae. We've always been here. We will always be here.

I’ve been having some ❤️ scares after going off a medication. It freaked me out enough to get a cardiology consult, which resulted in 2 follow-ups: an echo and event monitoring. I went for the echo today. The secretary told me that United Healthcare won’t pay for any more appointments. EXCUSE ME?

Another week in the trenches. I’m waiting to hear back on several fulls that have me oscillating between hope and complete despair. How can I be convinced that a book is both perfect for an agent and best used as kindling? I never have such weird self-esteem issues over my work. #amquerying

When I finished editing the manuscript I’m querying, I set it down and haven’t looked at it again. It’s been a month, and I feel like I’ve completely forgotten what’s in there 🫣 #amquerying

Happy new year!! In 2025, I’m shooting for: 👾 Illness recovery (and clean screenings in January) 📖 Signing with a lit agent and selling the H&R novel 🔏 Locking in on writing—I want to finish two books this year! 🤷 Caring less about work 🎮 Actually enjoying my hobbies
