I write fantastical stories about worlds I want to explore and people I want to meet.
Do I spent another hour trying to find my way into Raya Lucaria or read another book instead? Loving books AND video games isn’t for the weak haha
I love listening to craft podcasts, but it can get so overwhelming so fast! You listen to three different pods and you come away thinking you need to fix your dialogue, your plot, and your prose! It’s too much! #writing #fantasy #amwriting
Threw my hat in the ring at #smallpitch with Maze of Masks! Good luck to all!

Today is the perfect rainy day to write a sad scene. Too bad my character doesn't have time for things like feelings. Or sleep. Or good sense.
I don't know if anyone remembers this iconic moment from Kim Possible like I do, but I feel this has been a moopy time of life. Unfortunately, my work doesn't stop for the moopiness, so here are my lessons learned to combat that general feeling of malaise. authormorganshaw.com/2026/02/05/l...
