there's something about sleeping with the windows open while it rains. waking up to a cool breeze, a purring cat, the smell of coffee, and nowhere to be for a while. sunday morning 🩷

I'm at the park, reading, and a woman with an accent said to me, "Oh, you're a reading worm". I love that construction. It's so poetic when second-language folks speak. I did not correct her because reading worm is better than bookworm.

My grandfather nurtured my love of fantasy—gave me old paperback series & I'd go through them like water. As a teen I was obsessed w/ anime which inspired pacey action scenes. Add college discovery of bildungsroman & irreverent humor & voila—sarcastic @$$holes learning against their will. 1/4

My upcoming book is absolutely packed to the brim with em dashes—more em dashes than any well-adjusted human being could possibly need or want—and if any of you tries to claim they are the result of some soulless LLM rather than my own unhinged compulsion I will fight you.

If I'm relying on my characters then I'm screwed 😭 Travis would flat out refuse Lana would awkwardly fumble through a few excuses Nathan would politely remind me that moving companies exist And Vern would leave me on read ✌️ #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
