i amuse my own self with my writing. i find myself laughing loud and often, so that’s a good thing. maybe I should lean more to comedy. I’m not sure what, how, where to do anything with it

Why I write gay romance like I'm trying to get arrested in China. Because there have been crackdowns on danmei authors there, who have been jailed and fined for writing M/M. I have the privilege here of not having to deal with state censorship, or similar crackdowns. That fuels me to write more.
