Canvas of Scars is a collection of dark poetry, short prose, and art by a trans masc author with themes of PTSD, psychosis, and other dark subjects. It's my first art/poetry collection, and it's my own story of what I survived and the art that helped me cope 🖤 #transpoetry 🌈📚 ♿♾️📚

Please watch this and know what is happening to trans people right now in the US, if you're an ally. Do not ignore it, do not bury your head in the sand, do not give up on us. To do so is deadly. To ignore it is to quietly accept it.

A much-needed 'lol' moment from tonight's editing session. Ludoviko, 'Mr. Prim and Proper,' is feeling sexy things and it's consuming his mind the more he fights it 😆 #AmWriting
Ludoviko cringed internally. It sounded like manual labor would be involved, which he did not do. While his strength would lend to the task of helping Roselyn carry it inside, he abhorred the idea of getting down and dirty in nature, even if it was with Roselyn. He closed his eyes and sighed, annoyed. He shouldn’t have phrased it that way. His once mostly innocent mind had gone so far into depravity since yesterday that it was making him irritable.

Me, editing: Everyone is coming in and out of doors, making noise, and talking in the hall.

Me, not editing: Dead silence.

Me, back to editing: Everyone is talking and making noise and leaving their apartments again.

I'm so annoyed help 🥲 People around here need to get hobbies or something.

Oh boy. This word is asking for some spice 😆
From Ludoviko, 'position' is the closest word. Warning for mild NSFW.
#WIPSnips #transromance
They adjusted their positioning, and then circled their hips against him. Their lips hovered over his just out of reach. “Do you want me?” they breathed. They already knew. His body left less to the imagination than their sheer lingerie. Ludoviko’s nails dug into their backside as he squeezed and closed his eyes. “Yes.”

#queerwriters line share: no 'decoration' but I have 'decorating'

from A Prayer for the Pirate Queen 🏴‍☠️💜⚓️ currently in 3rd draft
“And what about the people who are too injured to come out and party tonight?” Iona clapped Geni’s shoulder, her smile turning sympathetic. “True, true. Usually at times like this, Madelia will make sure those who are well enough to eat and drink will get a sensible amount of food in there, and some company from their friends — within reason, as I know you’d like them to rest and recover. We like to make sure they feel included. The debauchery will be kept above decks, I promise, Doc.” The debauchery? Already, around the two of them, some of the crew were decorating the mid deck with bunting and streamers, coloured lanterns, chairs and a banquet table. Geni took it all in, blinking her surprise. They sure did move fast. “Well, I had better go back to sick bay and tend to my patients —” “No one’s in grave danger of passing tonight, right Doc?” Iona’s hand on her shoulder grew tighter, and her eyes more serious.

#queerwriters From Ludoviko, my current WIP 🖤
Roselyn pried apart the dead vines and tried the door. It was locked. “Fuck,” they breathed through chattering teeth. They moved across the porch to look into a window, and upon wiping it clear of its icy film, they saw nothing but darkness. All the furniture still seemed to be in place though, as well as decorations. It was like the last tenants just up and left and never returned. That feeling of dread begged them to turn away again. It was potent and sent their heart racing, and while it might have worked for everyone else, no other had approached with a death wish. That was enough to give Roselyn the bravery to grab a large rock, and they smashed open the long window. The sound was deafening in the silent winter night. It echoed among the walls in the giant entrance room that remained as still as the grave. The slight breeze rattled cobwebs that hadn’t stirred for ages.

I did not expect this dark fantasy romance to be healing, but it somehow ended up being that way. The final poem that ends it is very telling. (I interspersed poetry throughout the story to give it a musical feel)

I'm concerned I haven't heard from my parents since Thanksgiving. I couldn't go because of chronic illness flares, and mom said she understood. It's a couple days to Christmas and I've heard nothing about an invitation or plans. Nothing at all otherwise either.

I also did something with this story that I never do because I'm always too impatient. I haven't read back through any of it. Usually I start at the beginning and read through it while writing, but nope. I just kept going. I remembered everything, every detail. That's how you know it's a good one.

I've got one more chapter to write and my gothic fantasy romance is done. That'll happen tomorrow. I went from thinking, 'I don't/can't write romance' to writing one of my favorite books I've ever worked on. I was able to take a villain I created years ago and finally give him the story he deserved.

I'm honestly shocked that a cat litter brand put BORAX of all things in their cat litter. I didn't even realize it until after I'd filled both boxes. I spent my laundry money buying new litter & a scoop to get it all out. I cannot afford a vet bill. Why would you put Borax in CAT LITTER???

A soft grey cat sits on a patterned pillow in front of a window. The window looks out onto a wooded lot covered with snow. The cat has one paw resting against the oak windowsill as he turns to examine the person taking the photo.

It is almost 2 in the morning and my arms hurt from writing all day, but I was deep in the hyperfixation until eye exhaustion made me stop 😭 The story started taking on a mind of its own and it tore my heart out and stomped on it. Now I gotta go to bed with that 😭
