Three-panel moodboard consisting of three pieces by Alphonse Mucha. Left: Emerald. A serpent snarls at the viewer from amidst green lilies. Center: The Moon. A woman wearing nothing but a navy blanket covered in stars stands against a backdrop consisting of the night sky and a crescent moon. She covers her smile with one hand. This image is noticeably lower in quality than its neighboring panels. Right: Salon des Cent. A woman conceals her mouth with a hand, her index finger curled down. She's glaring intensely at the viewer. A golden filigree lines the bottom and frames the sides, partially covering the left and right panels.

Giving my #SFF novel a little boost in case some other eyes (or agents? 👀) might like to see it. #Q #questpit

A prospective book cover for THE FIRE IN OUR BONES. One boy stands at the shore facing an old, run-down city and a setting Sun. Another, reflected, stands facing a futuristic city and the moon.

Community Troy pizza meme. Tory holding pizza reads "Savique trying to find his family" Bottom fires read "blood feud", "endless drought", "ancient puzzles", and "cultists"Invincible that's the neat part you don't meme. Mark Grayson as Vaten asks When do I get to go home again. Nolan Grayson as Zejela says, that's the neat part, you don't.

Despite navigating heartbreak, I: 1. Wrote two short stories and just submitted one to a contest 2. Got my website back up and running, though it is simple (but that's okay!) 3. Started a Substack and wrote my first article. I'm doing pretty alright I think. And it was a welcome distraction.

BLUESKY I HAVE A QUESTION: Where might a writer pitch a short story about conjure and the ancestors that's not really a horror story but draws on horror elements. FIYAH's upcoming theme doesn't seem to fit, unfortunately.

When my novel is optioned and adapted, I’d like Barry Jenkins to direct it. It is set in Miami, after all.

Today I got to have a sit down dinner and Kiki with my two fly ass godmothers. And we talked about mental health. They asked me about my dating life without judgment. They empathized with the challenges of being an adult. I’m genuinely so warmed to have spent time with them.

I also think sometimes ppl try too hard to "write" as opposed to doing the requisite work of witnessing, hearing, and feeling. I believe the most resonant creative writing happens when we write to the quick of the thing. But to do that, you have to experience it. In earnest. Without pretense.

I just realized that the reason so many people are bad at poetry (and creative writing generally) is that because great poetry sounds and feels effortless, people assume that it *is* effortless. When in truth that effortless quality is actually the result of hard creative work.
