she/her writer of climate-fiction novels of the romance and sci-fi variety and obsessed with her three cats

I've been plotting & reading Christmas novels (I know, I know, but you gotta start early, y'know), and I'm getting quite attached. But my bang-out-a-draft months are Feb, March, and April. I can't decide if I want to commit to year-round Christmas vibes or one of the other projects I've planned. 😭

how do I explain to non chronically online peeps who don't understand fanfic, the feeling I get when a rare pair tag I follow on AO3 gets updated with 4 new fics in one week (and all of them banging good) after going 6+ months with nothing????????

The garden is giving. 🤙🫴 The change in weather hasn't slowed it down at all—plenty of peppers, arbols, and tomatoes on their way. Our neighbourhood seems to exist in a year-round bubble of sunshine and warmth. Pros: veggies! Cons: every time it rains, it could be the last time it rains. 😂

Look at them go! Our other chili plant is starting to grow too---can't remember if it's an arbol or ancho plant. We added a bird feeder for the tomato plants (to encourage the birds to yoink any caterpillars). Gonna add some mulch this weekend, maybe get roma toms and red bell peppers!

Something yoinked a pepper in the night (no idea what), but I still have one green bell pepper and one jalapeno growing right now. I just want SOMETHING. I need one win to prove I can do it. 🤣😂

Charlie Kirk in 2023: "It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment." He was wrong. No child, no moviegoer and no conservative commentator should have to die to maintain this perverted notion of the 2nd Amendment.

Every day I add more to my garden (benefits of SoCal is there's no real bad time to plant) and today's addition was an poblano/ancho chile. I now have green & yellow peppers, better bush & beefsteak tomatoes, jalapenos and arbol chiles. Now to plant some herbs to attract wasps/keep hornworms down.

Yesterday was my anniversary, so no writing for me—went to the beach and had Mexican food instead! But tonight, I'll start both my next projects (both unnamed, oops). My goal is discovery writing a few scenes for both. No real word count or time goal, just vibes. I'm looking forward to this #FFYW!

I just---does no one else find Americans (the Terrors aside) super cringe? Bro, this is your culture? Guns and cheeseburgers and flags? Is this what you defeated the British for? To be super lame 250 years later? 🤣 At least we got the Polio vaccine outta ya---sorry you don't wanna use it anymore!

IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction

I finished Summer Season last night! Draft 1 sits at 92,237 words. I'm going to be setting it aside to outline and write my next project, and then I expect draft 2 to be a lot of work. 😱😱😱

Google docs is refusing to play ball this afternoon. It keeps reconnecting over and over again. I've never seen this before and it doesn't seem like anyone else is having issues. 😭

This what Israel has done to Gaza. Forbidden pics by a Washington Post photographer whose Jordanian air crew didn't pass on Israel's order to only photograph aid being dropped. City, suburbs, schools, people: bombed to rubble. People being starved in makeshift camps on road roundabouts. #Genocide

Aerial shot of Gaza City, burned and bombed into burned and shattered, unliveable wreckage as far as can be seen.Whole area that used to be houses, shops, public transport routes, made into rubble and blackened, unliveable ruins. Aerial shot shows vast area entirely obliterated as habitable, attacked again and again by Israeli forces. Several wrecked Gaza schools, shown from the air, pulverised by Israel's forces: windows all gaping, bombed out and covered in ash and dust. Some people are trying to live in makeshift camps amid the destruction, in former quadrangles and bomb sites. Aerial shots of neighbourhoods with destroyed apartment buildings, houses, offices and shops, all bombed by Israel's government. Starving people are trying to live in tents and makeshift cubbies on the former roundabouts on a main road.
