Such a cool feeling to sit here next to my first born book baby while I work on book 2. Can’t believe I’m here. A published author. I’d like to think my younger self would be so proud. 🥲

The best part about living in the south and the start of gumbo season? Leftover buttered French bread with morning coffee.

This is a niche thread. But iykyk.

I did it. It finally happened.

I woke up today for the first time as a published author. 🖤🥹🖤😭🖤🥲🖤

I’m not able to celebrate this achievement with friends and family since they don’t know about my secret life as an author of very ġ å ŷ stories.

So, will you all be my friends and family today? ☺️

Good morning writers, readers, and fellow coffee feinds. Show me your mugs.

Instead of going to therapy, I wrote a book where a closeted church tŵíņk works through his religious trauma and s*x*al repression while getting railed by an Egyptian god.

10/10 would recommend.

(But I probably still need therapy tho.)

You don’t learn to climb mountains by going around them.

And you don’t learn to write books by letting AI do it for you.

Climb the mountain. It’s hard, but it’s worth it.

Less than one week left to join the ARC team for my debut MM monster romance, THE SECRET SHAPE OF WORSHIP 🐺

Almost 100 readers have joined the team already, and I am just floored and overwhelmed and so excited by the response.

Let’s get to an even hundred, what do you say? 😏

Is this a trend over here? 🫣

The summer I accidently summoned the Egyptian god of the afterlife…🐺

My parents and my sister are both going thru divorces & BOTH preached at me when I told them I was gay. Meanwhile, I've been with my husband for 12 years and we're happier and happier together each day.

So, I guess what I'm really trying to say is: F*ck Kim Davis, gay marriage is the best marriage.

How do you become an author? Simple…

Stare into the abyss until you see claws and teeth and then entice them out with the promise of fame and money. There won't be any, but it's ok, because soon you'll be friends, poor but happy together forever.

Sad to report that I still have not become an overnight viral sensation and did, in fact, have to show up to my corporate job this morning.

Hot take: if a kid is too young to have conversations about gender, then they’re too young for you to tell them they’ll go to hēłł for not committing their life to your religion…

But that’s just my opinion. 💅

Check out the cover of my debut MM monster romance!

The book explores themes of faith deconstruction and self-discovery as Mina, a seminary student in the middle of a faith crisis, encounters Anubis, the flail-wielding, Egyptian god of the afterlife.

Since I have a book coming out soon, I guess I should be clear about this so you all know where I stand.

*clears throat*

Gen AI is theft, and if you use it to write your books, you’re not only cheating yourself, you’re stealing from those who have come before you.

*shrinks back into writer hole*

Just submitted my ebook to Am*z*n KDP for review. AHH. It's getting so real. My stomach hurts. 💀

Why did no one tell me that figuring out how to format this book for KU and KDP was going to be my ENTIRE SATURDAY?!? 😅

Just finished doing text to speech as a final editing step for my novel and … wow … I mean I’ve heard writers talk about it before, but I had no idea just how helpful that would be! I caught things I would have never caught otherwise.

10/10 recommend it.

Doing my final round of edits and I can’t decide if I need to scrap all of my em dashes.

Want a free snippet of my book?

I’ve started a newsletter which I’ve dubbed “THE PANTHEON” because it sounds cool & newsletters are lame.

BUT they’re also incredibly valuable for indie writers.

My posts will be short and infrequent, I promise, but I’d love to connect with you!

The hardest part about being a writer is that you have to actually sit down and write. The hardest part about being a writer is also being constantly obligated to do things that are not writing.

I don’t make the rules I just flail like a petulant child against them.
