Writer of stories. She/They. Travel enthusiast, animal lover, gym baddie in training. Anti-GenAI. Doing my best when the world is doing its worst.

I'm thinking I'm gonna have to change the name of the Juniper Wharf series, because as it stands, only Book 1 and a chapter of Book 2 take place in Juniper Wharf itself. I'm workshopping some ideas so we'll see?

I've been sat here for nearly an hour with my manuscript open, and *nothing* But also me: what if they kissed in this scene...? I have too many "what if"s and nowhere to put them

#LGBTQWriteAThon despite my disabilities disabling me, it's been a pretty productive month, I'd say! Now, time to defrost Mariah Carey!

#LGBTQWriteAThon I've always been drawn to dragons, mostly since I grew up playing Spyro the Dragon! Although I do have a soft spot for vampires when the mood strikes!

#LGBTQWriteAThon Garrot loves hoarding plastic skeletons, but he is aware that they are bad for the environment (but it's not as if locally-sourced skeletons are ethical either)... Ruby, however, enjoys watching horror films. Sometimes alone. Always in the dark.

I have been having a bit of a rubbish day but I have: - Finished a book - Fixed a mic issue in OBS without having a meltdown - Tidied up my series supplemental documents - Booked a solo trip to Wales for next October - Continued drafting - Went on a walk for my stupid mental health

#LGBTQWriteAThon Juniper Wharf is basically: Pounded in the Butt By Gods Who Thought it Was a Good Idea to Give Humans Supernatural Abilities

#LGBTQWriteAThon considering Juniper Wharf falls into supernatural, fantasy, and contemporary romance across its three books, I think that I would choose horror to swap to. Turn Book 2 into a House of Horrors situation, I reckon! The larger scope of the story doesn't need to change too much, though
