St Petersburg Renaissance Faire is quickly approaching. Hoping I finish my new booth improvements before opening day. In the meantime, here's the tower from my cute #fairytale #castle series. I'll be offering custom physical products in my Etsy store when the Florida Ren faire season ends. #fairies
If you're okay w/ this, do me a favor. Unfriend me because 🖕U The Republicans need to stop blaming an entire community on the actions of 1 CIS White Republican Man. Your own constituent murdered Kirk! OWN THAT SHIT BITCHES. Kirk didn't deserve to die, but LGBTQ people don't deserve this crap either.
Come visit me on Sept 27, 2025 at LauderAle Brewery's 3rd Annual Mini Renaissance Faire in Fort Lauderdale. This unique mini fair is loads of fun!
What makes something written by AI today? First, it was ellipses, then certain words, and now the em-dash. Tomorrow, it'll be something else. AI imitates the input it's given. Try reading older works with tons of these "AI" signs before AI was a thing. You can pry the em-dash from my cold, dead h--

If you are a fan of #Superman go see it in 4DX. Totally worth it! Gunn and Corenswet understood the assignment and nailed it! Reeve would have been proud!

This girl is going to see a movie in the theater for the first time in almost a decade. I've heard great things about #Superman. The haters hating on it only makes me want to go see it more. I miss the days when truth and justice meant something. When Supers weren't dark and broody. I can't wait!

My only reasonable assumption about a 'waiving of moral rights' clause in contracts is that they'd plan to enact that provision.
Someone told me the other day they bet I wouldn't let some foreigner running from ICE hide in my house. I laughed my ass off. They don't know Jack Shit because I absolutely would. I have this thing called empathy, compassion, and a zero tolerance for a government that has none. #Freedomforall

Today is one of those days I just don't have the motivation to work on anything. Couldn't write anything this morning, and I'm already bored after making 2 pieces of jewelry.

I love it when the "maybe I should add this, delete that, how will it effect later chapters" questions lead to a stronger plot and increase stakes. I feel good about this chapter by chapter synopsis. It's nice to feel good about ideas and my writing. #amplotting #amwriting

Armbinder, a yoked beast of a man in shorts two sizes too small, walks in. His muscular cut, bulging veins, & smooth greasy skin are good indicators he’s jacked up on steroids. He won’t be an easy target. He sits next to Susan and stares up as he wipes the sheen of annoyance off his plastic face.

Even when I'm just plotting, my characters start the craziest conversations. It starts simply enough: “Racing taught me how to survive.” “Too bad it didn’t teach you to stop." Then it burgeons into an entire conversation. #amwriting

Whew. All my characters' Goal/Motivation/Conflict are done. Time to start digging into Goal Resolution Steps and getting everything into place in the chapter synopsis so I can get to writing. Overkill? Maybe, but at least I won't forget anything. 🤪 #amwriting #SFF #Superhero
My beautifully disastrous mind map is actually organized. It's like the real world plot walls I love, except it doesn't require 7 walls, 10 rolls of tape, 6 colors of index cards, 6 matching stickies, 6 matching flags, 3 rolls of colored string, 1,000 thumbtacks, & a stepping stool. 🤪 #amwriting

The phrase “Your life is based on your choices”, is bs. A person’s current situation is not based solely on their life choices. There are so many factors to why a person is where they are in life. It’s environmental, the crap life throws at them, the opportunities they’re given or not given,
Rebuilding my MS to add more Sci-Fi elements is probably the best thing I've done. I didn't have to rewrite it. But the ideas started flowing like water in a stormy ocean & I built a better ship. I have to remember this when it feels like a too daunting task. I got this. #amwriting #SFF
