In my world, touching the wrong book spine could rewrite history. ​After finishing the Bk 2 blood draft, I’m back in the quiet work of editing. It’s not about the rush; it’s about the weight of the legacy. 75 ideas. One vision. 🖋️✨ #guyaguild #WritingAlchemist #StillInQueryingTrenches #ThisIsNOTEasy

Book 2 now exists. Not polished,not perfect, but real. The blood draft is done, and every page carries the weight of showing up when it wasn’t easy. Now I step into the muscle draft, aka, editing. Turning what’s written into what it’s meant to be. #guyaguild #WritingAlchemist

This year stretched me. Refined me. Sharpened the way I move and the way I write. As another year of life approaches, I’m not rushing it. I’m meeting it steady. The pen is ready. So am I. ✨ #WritingAlchemist #GuyaMaican #StillWriting #CreativeDiscipline #TheGuyaGuild #BirthdayEnergy

The trenches aren’t glamorous. Neither is discipline. But the pages are turning. The letters are sent. And the vision hasn’t moved. Consistency is louder than doubt. #WritingAlchemist #AmQuerying #AuthorLife #TheGuyaGuild #StillWriting

Creativity needs fuel. Writing needs rhythm. And apparently my playlists need to be respected. If the words are moving and the music is hitting, I’m doing something right. Back to the page. #WritingAlchemist #KPopBrainrot #AuthorLife #GuyaMaican #TheGuyaGuild

I don’t force the work. I meet it where it is. Some nights that’s pages. Some nights that’s presence. Both matter. #guyamaican #guyaguild #FantasyWriter #UniverseGuided #GlobalInclusion

Happy New Year. ✨ Now in 2026 with steadier hands, sharper focus, and stories that know exactly where they’re going. No rush. No noise. Just the work—and the knowing. #HappyNewYear #WritingAlchemist #GuyaMaican #TheGuyaGuild #2026Energy StillWriting ClearVision CreativeRitual

K-Pop Demon Hunters dragged me straight into a whole new obsession… and I’m not even mad. 😭💜 Between the music, the energy, and the storytelling? Yeah… the inspiration has been inspiring. My pages been jumping. #WritingAlchemist #GuyaGuild #GuyaMaican #CreativeFuel #BlackGirlWrites #FantasyWriter

Tonight, for me, that word is Purpose. Ideky. I know it’s spelled right… but for some strange reason, my brain keeps trying to sneak an “i” in there. 🙃 #WritingAlchemist #WriterLife #BrainGlitches #GuyaMaican #TheGuyaGuild #SpellingGremlins #AuthorProblems

Recovery has its own pace, and I’m learning to honor it. Some days it’s a page. Some days it’s a sentence. Some days it’s just opening the document and breathing. But every gentle step is still movement. Still momentum. Still mine. #WritingAlchemist #GuyaMaican #TheGuyaGuild #HealingAndCreating

These past few weeks have been about slowing down, listening inward, & letting the body lead. Recovery reminded me that healing doesn’t always roar—it can whisper, glow, and teach you softness in the process. Here’s to gentler power. 🌙 #WritingAlchemist #HealingIsAlchemy #GuyaMaican #TheGuyaGuild

I signed my name in Nov 2001. By Apr 2002, I was in uniform. 9/11 didn’t just change the world— it changed my path. I carry its fire still. #NeverForget #911Anniversary #GuyaMaican #WritingAlchemist #AlchemyFromAshes #TheGuyaGuild #BlackAuthor #Storyteller #WriterLife #AuthorLife #AuthorOfBluesky

Every draft, every edit, every late night adds to the legacy.

Progress isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s just steady, page by page.

I got my first reject a week ago. It took me down for a minute. But I realized I was just getting started. #WritingAlchemist #TheGuyaGuild #WriterLife #WineAndWriting #BlackFantasyAuthor #AmWritingFantasy #GuyaMaican

Every book has its secret ingredients. Mine? Wine. Late nights. And giving my characters a look when they start making choices I didn’t approve in the outline. What fuels your creativity? #WritingAlchemist #TheGuyaGuild #WriterLife #WineAndWriting #BlackFantasyAuthor #AmWritingFantasy #GuyaMaican

Tomorrow is Lion’s Gate — a cosmic alignment for expansion, clarity, and stepping into what you’ve been building for lifetimes. For me, that means more than just writing. It’s writing with intention. Every scene, every character, every twist is a spell cast for the future I’m walking into.

I have officially entered the querying trenches. No panic. No noise. Just precision. Alignment. Intention. May the right 1s feel the fire behind the pages. May the rest step aside. #WritingAlchemist #QueryingAuthor #TheGuyaGuild #FantasyWriter #BlackAuthorMagic #LegacyInProgress #AlchemyInMotion

Ok real quick— Yes, I missed last week. I got my edits back from my editor & fully disappeared n2 the work. One blink later, it was the weekend. I didn’t forget y’all. I just time-traveled through revision mode. 💻🔥 Now I’m back—with 2 many ideas, not enough bodies, and the same fire driving it all.

I was never here to be liked. I was here to light the damn map. This Pride, I’m not reflecting. I’m declaring. This is my design. This is my daimon. This is my divine. #CreativeAlchemist #PrideMonth2025 #QueerBlackAuthor #FinalForm #TheGuyaGuild #NotALabel #GuyaMaican

And just like that, 📖 2 is completely drafted and we have the entire outline for 📖 3 #writer #author #authorlife #writerlife ##writingcommunity

✨ Dampium: A Realm of Scions and Betrayal Book 1 of The Legacy of the Daivaras A fantasy steeped in betrayal, bloodlines, & a queerness they tried 2 silence. Coming soon from Guya Maican.

After much outlining, much plotting and much planning, I can now honestly say 4 chapters of 📖 2 are more complete. #writer #author

Happy Spring Equinox

Annnnnd ofc. A bi$h takes a nap and wakes up with a whole new story. Why does this keep happening to me?? (Don't take me seriously, I love when this happens. I just get mad cuz I can't write it all fast enough.) #writer #writingcommunity #author #skywriter #writerlife

Trying to come up with a name for a side character but the name needs to be very unique. I want the MC to love her name so much she says it all the time just so she can hear it. I'm struggling. I want it to start with a B #writingcommunity #writer #skywriter #author #writerlife
