Ayyy Bite the Curb, Break the Chain broke 4k hits! Crazy milestone for what was supposed to be a 3shot pwp

Bouncing in here to say hi, I'm still writing. I'm still around. Just been a bit busy and not motivated to post on social media much recently, largely due to The Horrors™.

If only the notes I type out half-conscious at 3am were a fraction as terrifying and cohesive as the dreams they came from, I'd be tradpubbed already

Writer problems- sit down to write for the first time in like a week with my cup of tea and the nice keyboard, only to immediately lose a half hour to researching the NYC subway system, followed by a half hour of cat distraction. Words were put on a page though!

Well it's official, my querytracker subscription has lapsed. One year since I tried to pitch This Used to be Home to the tradpub trenches! I'm still so incredibly proud of my little book, someday I hope to share it with the world, but it was a risky choice to query in the first place 💙

We're really goin through it rn (and by 'it' I mean a lack of motivation to write) but hey, 100 words is better than zero

Ughhhh no spoilers but ep3 of TVL got me *stressed* for one of my fave characters 😭

Oh man, I have a selection, but special shout out to the 70s NYC leather bar devil's minion AU I'm currently writing, Bite the Curb, Break the Chain archiveofourown.org/works/78936461

Happy Pride! To celebrate you should promo your gayest (affectionate) fic. Give me your polycules, your genderbent, your orgies, and your bisexual awakenings.

I feel like I should work on writing more short fiction (drabbles, flash, short stories, etc.) but bridging that gap between poetry and a full on novel is so deceptively difficult

The things I would do to back in time 10-12 years, before AI, before I lost so much time to people who didn't care about me, back when the only things I ever had to worry about were turning in papers & not missing the bus. Sure it wasn't a perfect world, but at least there was some semblance of hope

Literally one of my favorite paintings of all time 💙

Edward Hopper @edwardhopper.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Amid the Depression, travel felt less like leisure than necessity. Hotel Room (1931) is drawn from trips Jo Hopper logged in her notebooks. The scene turns a suitcase, a bed, and a blind into narrative symbols—rootless transience rendered as still life.

Just popping in to say that both Bite the Curb, Break the Chain and Friend of the Devil were updated this week 💙 despite the horrors, we persist

Sometimes you just gotta lock in and bang out half a chapter without stopping

Tired of wasting your life doing nothing? Waste your life on writing a book instead!

Ugh after a several hour-long process, celebration tickets and hotel and purchased and booked 😌 I wish all the filthy scalpers that bought out 4 day passes early the life they deserve

May the 4th be with you all! It's not an exaggeration to say that this silly little space opera literally saved my life once upon a time. It continues to be a source of light in this seemingly endless darkness we find ourselves in

What do you mean I have to write the next chapter and that when I reread my own work, there won't magically be a new installment at the end? That's bullshit, I wanna know how the story ends

Ah, fuck. We are so tiny and insignificant 🫪

Our Spring 2026 issue, A MANUAL FOR..., incited by the life and writing of Lucia Berlin drops next week y'all...

Wish I had a ms ready for revpit this year, alas the projects closest to that point remain unfinished. Maybe next year though!

The Internet as a whole is so much more enjoyable if you approach it like you're forever stuck in 2013. Algorithms? Who cares. Someone starting shit? They're probably a troll, don't feed em. Advertisements? All scams, do not engage. All that matters are rage comics and cat memes.

Full warning, I'm going to become absolutely unbearable when TVL comes out in June.

Ch.2 of Pedigreed Primadonna up and complete, now to switch back to Daywalker I think. Then maybe BtC or the DFtR prequel I've been scheming, but also Oshamir masquerade piece I started a while ago and still need to finish.... Too many choices 😓

Oh man, it's just a checklist of my favorite tropes fr

thinking about Nick Groom's suggested "seven types of obscurity" in Gothic novels, forming a handy "is it goth" checklist lmao

How tedious it is to ride the ebb and flow of inspiration. How tiring to feast and hunger for ideas in equal measure. This is about explicit fanfiction btw. Entirely optional, yet so essential to my ongoing tenuous grasp on sanity.
