A payphone still hummed in the sleet,
Its dial tone a pulse out of beat.
“History rings,”
The old porter sings,
“For ghosts with no fares and cold feet.”

Happy N7 Day everyone!
Happy #N7Day!
From the beginning I've said that Mass Effect has been a huge inspiration for my writing. I recently started a new playthrough of the games and having written two books now, it was a surreal experience to see how much of an impact these stories have had on me.
Thank you BioWare.

I did a little planning for Project Sunrise today. I have felt exhausted all day so I didn't feel like doing much else.

Day 2's prompt for #SciFiMonth25 is "Previously on Sci-Fi Month"
I didn't read any sci-fi during November of last year. Path of Deceit is the last sci-fi book that I have read. Finished it up earlier this year and I really enjoyed it!

Day 1's prompt for #SciFiMonth25 is "Put on Your Suits (TBR)"
One book on my TBR is Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I want to read it before the movie comes out next year.

October 2025 was a fantastic month! It had some great personal news as well as writing progress!
In my personal life, I got the great news that I never have to see a toxic individual ever again! I also solidified financial and personal plans for what I want to do by September of next year. 🧵

Sometimes loneliness feels like a problem to be solved. This #poem began as a thought #experiment about how far someone might go to cut it out completely.
