Birthday cake I made for hubs after the famjam got at it. Chocolate with mint icing.

Much better than last year's disaster cake!
A round double-layer chocolate cake sits on a white turntable, on a kitchen counter. The cake has been iced in lime green, which is mint-flavoured, with rosettes and other decorations. A fraction of the cake is missing. A roll of paper towel is visible in the background.

There are 99 of you already ... I would love to break into the 3-digits here! I think it might even be possible!

I like to aim for small, attainable goals.

No cheating, reskeet with the most recent photo of your pet.
A white chinchilla with gray ears sits upright and lays a paw upon a black 30-pound dumbbell, which is sitting on a patterned black-and-tan rug, as he investigates it.

How's that David Bowie song go? "Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years"?

Me coming back from my walk right now.
A black and white meme depicting a glum-looking stylized cartoon person with an overly large head and small body wearing a toque, a scarf, and a coat. The text above the image reads "The air hurts my face," while the text below reads "Why am I living where the air hurts my face?"

Final writing session of 2025 complete! I went back and tallied everything up -- I wrote more than 300,000 words this year!

(Not including all the ditched drafts, blog posts, or fanfic here, ha. I don't want to see that number.)

The words "310k words written!" appears in black text on a hot pink square.

I am soooo close to finished with this dang #WIP, but I had to set it aside to make the pumpkin pie for tonight's feast. Maybe those last couple of scenes will write themselves?

(The tart was great.)

A pumpkin tart, topped with whipped cream, sits on a dessert plate with a yellow band, on a kitchen counter. There are a few crumbs on the plate, indicating the flaky quality of the pastry.

My balloon day was earlier this week. Celebrating today with writing and a latte before the wee one wakes.

A word processor window is displayed on a 21.5" desktop Mac screen. Also visible are various brightly colored app icons on the dock and a sliver of a nature-themed wallpaper. A mug half-filled with coffee and a wireless keyboard are visible in the foreground of the image, sitting on a black desk, along with various wires and knick-knacks.

Wyatt miiiiiiight be a bit of a yes-man. But only for Cam. (Actually, no, for everyone. He’s a bit of a doormat, really.)

One thing about the #FlirtingwiththeZodiac books is that there is always going to be spice. Always.

A lot of books that get hyped don’t land for some readers — and that’s okay. But let’s talk about LGBTQ+ books that DO live up to their hype: what popular queer book did you read and fall in love with?

Bird shifter aliens on a high-fantasy-esque backdrop? Don’t mind if I do. Book 6 of #FlirtingwiththeZodiac has that and more!

I really, really like this exchange between Cam and Wyatt. We’ll see if it survives revisions (and Editor’s red pen).

Drake is ... pretty blunt, isn't he? But underneath it, he's a sweetie.

I want to know about underrated LGBTQ+ books! You know the ones — they don’t get the hype some other books do, but you wish more people knew about them. Give them a s/o so others can discover them!

MAIN SQUEEZE features plenty of cross-cultural exchanges between aliens and humans -- like this one, where Marty tries to explain vampires. It ... does not go well.

I’d apologize to my MC for putting him in this situation, but … I’m not sorry at all. Poor boy’s got it bad for a certain coyote shifter …
