Getting a story written to submit to a magazine was a super satisfying feeling, one I wish I had figuring my life out enough to make happen much sooner.
But despite the life delay, getting to write alongside friends doing the same, beta reading for each other felt great. Need to do more of it. 😊

Turns out a 12 hour flight where sleep is impossible is actually a great time to crank out a ton of words on the page, but sadly not a viable writing location on the regular.
I need to find a nice cafe nearby that I can try to replicate the effect in

Here's the gist: The magic of tabletop RPGs lives in the creativity of the players. Given the chance to explore gender, relationships, and queer existence across vast worlds with completely different sets of rules, queer players throughout the years have found acceptance, camaraderie, and joy by rolling the dice and kicking ass.

When I started on my current writing project, I set out a plan for biweekly chapter postings. It was manageable with my job, but started to slip as the busy season for work started.
I would desperately love for my job to not mentally burn me out so badly that I can't do the thing that I love.💀

If you write ‘unalive’ in prose or character dialogue, in your NOVEL - which I have seen TWICE NOW - I will immediately wince and full body cringe. The TikTokification of words has to stop. Your character almost DIED or was KILLED in your novel. They were not almost ‘unalived’.
