I am a writer and resident dreamer. Runs on coffee, music, and sarcasm. In short? A weird little nerdball. She/her demi/ace Repped by Jeanne De Vita at Martin Literary!
The MCR concert in Minneapolis was—in many respects—FIRE. #mychemicalromance
Me, filling out the staff spreadsheet where it asks about our allergies: I have a significant allergy to cats, a mild allergy to fresh pineapple, and a respectable allergy to clown face paint.
Not gonna lie, I kinda want Constance’s “cup of shut the fuck up” mug.
Youngest is pretty much the world’s greatest hype man, and, as such, LOVED doing cheer at summer school. We signed him up to do cheer this week and perform at the high school football game on Friday. At sign up, there was a place to list “shirt and skirt” sizes.
DH: it’s august…why is the spoopy candy and decor out (at stores)? Me: *shifty eyes as the new welcome mat I ordered arrives*
Staff picture day today. Life’s short. I’ve decided to take inspiration from my literary favorite, Dervish Grady, and age disgracefully.
I can’t remember the last time I messed around with traditional art, but I had some cardstock, a pencil, and a feeling it was time to do a drawing refresher on Finn, will-o-the-whisp trickster in my horror-fantasy WIP. I might color it digitally. Let’s see where the day takes me.
Introducing Riley Sterling, protagonist in my horror-fantasy WIP: recently graduated English major, lover of classic rock, reading, and all things "weird." Stuck working hospitality at her family's orchard until something better crops up.
Something that has really struck me recently is that I think I’m finally shaking free of the deep, soul-searing burnout. I’m not just back to being myself, but becoming more of myself—the me I want to be. It’s a wild feeling when you’re beginning to be genuinely happy with the person you are.
Is Stoak an experienced ghost hunter? No. Is he knowledgeable in it? Also no. But is he at least passionate about hunting ghosts? ...Look, if it means getting out of retail, he's fuggin' THRILLED.
I don’t care if it’s mid-July. I have a burning need in my veins for autumn, vampires, and paranormal goodness
Did you know you can give yourself cavities by OVERLY-AGGRESSIVELY brushing? In completely unrelated news, my dental hygienist recommended I try brushing with my non-dominant hand.

Pulling this shirt out of retirement as I head to Kitsune Kon today.
My feed is primarily writing, body positivity, art, and My Chemical Romance. I am very okay with this.
Strangely enough, pink hair doesn’t look as out of place on me as I would’ve thought.
I blame cosplay prep for how long it took me to get another substack blog out. Today, I ramble a bit about self- rejection. open.substack.com/pub/katiebai...
Self- Rejection and "Knowing"
Self-rejection is one of the easiest and most brutal things you can do to yourself.
