I've been sick the last couple of days. Like, too tired to write, falling asleep at the computer, etc. This is not how this week was supposed to go. I'm never going to finish this series at this rate. u_u

I made a breakthrough on the end of my novel today, more of the pieces falling together as I write. It gave me the same sick feeling in the pit of my stomach I had at the end of Abomination, so I know I'm on the right track.

Good morning everyone. ☕️☕️☕️

"Do something!" the people cried. So the Politician sent out an email asking for more money.

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism. But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them. That's nasty work. Hope this helps!

I am filled with impotent rage.

repeat after me: I will not all-is-lost-post, because all-is-lost-posting empowers my enemy

If you can. When you can. However you can. Try your best to create. Not just art. Anything. Gardening, writing, crocheting… lean into your hobbies… Create **NOT** for the sole purpose of resisting or grifting but because we all need an outlet, a distraction, something else that is anything else.

I know everyone's up to their eyeballs in politics right now (which is why I haven't been around). Take a break? I made a post! www.patreon.com/posts/didnt-...

I'm BEGGING you to stop following & sharing stuff from accounts like this. They're not interesting in making tangible, positive change. They're engagement farmers who share memes. "LIKE IF YOU AGREE" DOES NOTHING. They're not serious people!!! Stop this shit!

Checked in on FB to see if anyone important had messaged me today. No, they had not. Got a (non-anonymous) sentiment survey pop up at the top of my page. Mwah ha ha. I love filling in those things.

Good idea. I have a book to finish. I'll be back on social media when I don't have a deadline. My shoulders are five feet below ground from the weight I've been carrying lately.

Ugh don't call people strong or brave for having survived something the best way they could please don't annotate people's trauma for them even if it's in the public eye

A reminder that all writing advice come with the caveat that YMMV. Learning to write is really hacking your brain into delivering the most words reliably in the shortest amount of time with the highest amount of quality. And since each of our brains works differently, not all advice will fit you.

I got *one* sentence down yesterday. One. What's wrong with my brain? This is nuts. I need to stop overthinking this whole "last part of the trilogy" thing in my head. It's not even the last book of the series, not the last book with (spoiler), and I need to just get the words going!

Do not comply.

I was at Tempe FanCon today and, in a first for me, I didn't think to take any pictures of or from my table this year. Whoops! I'll do better at the next event, promise!

How it feels to be an author on social media rn

Inspired by recent events to do an anthology called “PUNCH A NAZI”. All stories 4 pages long, only story criteria is that your story MUST be about a Nazi being punched. Digital only. All profits to The Trevor Project. Open to all comers but especially queer and other marginalized creators. Who’s in?

💯💯💯💯💯💯 I'll be blunt. Mute terms allows us to engage with this shit on our own terms when we're ready. Your cutesy asterisks punch us in the face with content we're not ready for and fuck up our mental health. Just use normal fucking words ffs

...when you're not sure if a parody headline is actually a parody for a minute...

So, I'm watching a thing. It's 11 hrs. I'm less than half an hour in and I know it's already glossing over (not even mentioning) allegations against Vic from his pre-VA days. I hated Vic before hating Vic was cool. =P

someone on tiktok said, “we’ve got 7 lex luthors and no superman,” and i can’t stop thinking about it

🇺🇸 In the days of Carrie Underwoods, be a Woodie Guthrie.

I live here. It's true. I mean, they're not out to get you like a teddybear cholla, and you can pet a saguaro if you're careful, but they'll ruin your day if you fuck around.
