Went kayaking and immediately burned through my #PacePoints according to #Visibleband. But it was awesome and I wouldn't change a thing. #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #dystopianlit

I'm glad Hank Green addressed using AI in his videos and is taking a step away, but I'm still upset he used it in the first place. #AI #HankGreen #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #dystopianlit
Chicken, noodles and mashed potatoes!! #favoritemeal
Long day shopping for groceries that are okay with my FODMAP diet. #FODMAP #writinglife #newdiet #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #dystopianlit
I'm thankfully not longer searching for editors and beta readers for my dystopian sci-fi book. Feel free to reach out if you want to be added to my beta read list for future books! I'll always continue writing SFF books! #betareaders #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #dystopianlit
Excited to start working with Ellipsus again, especially with AI destroying old books. We need human voices, not AI! #Ellipsus #HumanArt #NoGenerativeAI #Farenheit451 #1984Orwell #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #dystopianlit #inspiration #motivation
Getting the house painted today. Looking forward to seeing the new color! #housepainted

I think bowling is probably my favorite sport. I'm not good at it by any means, but I can certainly see myself going to a bowling alley, particularly one that doesn't have strings on the pins. I want to see and hear them being knocked down! #bowling #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit
Finally watching Andor. I'm a little over halfway through the first season, and really enjoying the show! #Andor #StarWars #comptvshow #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #inspiration
Had a great time at the Cat Fest today. Now it's back to writing and looking over some beta reading notes! #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #motivation #betareaders
It's finally raining here, and the flowers are blooming. Let's hope this weather continues for a while in between all the hot temperatures. #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #inspiration #motivation
Went out on Grand Lake in a pontoon boat, ate lunch, then got caught in a rainstorm. All in all, a great day!
A favorite hobby of mine: moose spotting! This is a young one! #Camping #Moose #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #inspiration #motivation #relaxing
Curious what reader archetype people consider themselves to be. A #bookworm? #Bookdragon? Personally, I like #BookGoblin, an archetype made by Elisabeth Wheatley. #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #reading #archetypes

How to Create Your Book’s Table of Contents
Though the table of contents is one of the first pages readers will see, it’s one of the last you’ll actually complete. Because it must perfectly match the names of your various sections and c…

One of the biggest benefits of a beta reader isn't catching typo, it's spotting the things you've become too close to see. When you've read the same chapter twenty times, your brain fills in the gaps for you. What's one piece of feedback that completely changed your manuscript? #betareader#editor
Feeling a bit better about my decision to accept #betareaders today. I'm still open, if people are interested! #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #querying #dystopiansci-fi
Putting out an open call for beta readers for Moon Children, a 110,000 word dystopian sci-fi book, the first in a duology. I would like responses to be submitted by September 1st. Comment if you are interested!
Headed to watch The Odyssey today! It'll be interesting to see how it is brought to the screen.

Grateful for my physical therapists who have helped me get back to "normal" since my skiing injury in February. I plan on returning in the future as my myotonic dystrophy symptoms develop. #physicaltherapy #tibialplateaufracture #myotonicdystrophy #DM1 #disabilitylit #OWNvoices
Continuing my writing streak from yesterday with a new 1000 words written today! #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #querying #motivation #inspiration
An hour and a half later, I managed 2 thousand words. It was long and difficult, but I managed! Some days, you just have to push through. If you are a writer as well, keep going! #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #inspiration #motivation
Helping a friend organize their library and doing my best to hide my envy. I am very envious, though. #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #inspiration #motivation #homelibrary #reader #reading
I enjoy writing #SFF because it allows me to investigate and critique our current society without directly pointing and arguing about it. It's nearly impossible to change people's minds by providing facts if it doesn't already fit their narrative. #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit
I'm grateful for the pronunciation guide at the end of The Odyssey. That was the biggest hurdle when I first read the story for high school. I understand it more because the characters sound distinct, something the English translations don't always convey. #writinglife #reader #TheOdysseybook
I hit a 100-day streak on Storygraph! My average rate of reading has varied wildly over the past 100 days, but I made sure to read a page a day! #Storygraph #reading #writinglife #SFFwriter #disabilitylit #queerlit #querying #inspiration
