Man, pride month as a queer author was a bad time to have a Lil menty-B and avoid social media.

But instead of promoting my novella, I offer #IWTV fanfiction that I updated on July 4th. Because nothing says "American Dream" like a Loustat AU.

Some #ShortFiction Sunday. We love to see it. The last pre-major revamp piece of Alnyx and Absinthe. Alynx was once WAY more likely to stab first and ask questions later. And Absinthe used to deserve it WAY more.

TW: Real life parent loss.

My mom died in 2020 from stage four lung cancer. Her name was Jayne. The J in MJ is for her. She would have been proud of the fact I'm trying to do this author thing. She loved shitty wine, the Cubs, and her three idiot kids.

#MothersDay still feels weird without her.

The amazing news: I got offered my first adjunct professor job fresh out of my grad school program. To say I am excited is an understatement.

The sad news: The fun summer reading list I've been building up thanks to both #Booksky and threads has been replaced by this.

Workspace photo on a rare day I'm trying to get things done at home instead of going to edit at a Cafe. Oswaldo the vampire squishmallow is an excellent overseer.

Made the mistake of looking at shipping outside the US for direct buy from me.

At minimum 20 bucks mostly! She is very small, very demure. You wouldn't even notice her on that big plane!

But also, websites you can get the physical copy in the reply.

Some short fiction from grad school in honor of #MerMay. I hope to revisit these little fishing gals soon. The little bit of Sapphic yearning must be explored. 🧜‍♀️🧜‍♀️

If by work, you mean finally playing Infinity Nikki since it's on Steam now, absolutely. I have known Kilo for two minutes and I would die for him.

A little #ShortFiction on a Sunday. I'm going to aim to be better about sharing short pieces on my blog, I swear. But this one from ages ago is one of my favorite rough edit pieces.

The other day I went back to an old (now deleted) Blog and saved some writing, most of it from 2019 or WAY before. Two out of every three pieces I don’t love as much now. This one wasn’…

Forever writing that first draft by hand so I don't over-edit on this #WIPWednesday.

Some #WIPWEDNESDAY time! Page one of my Anita Blake/Dresden Files inspired "surprise, monsters are real on the 21st century" but make it queer manuscript I didn't lose earlier this week!

It's a nice balance working on it alongside the high magic fantasy novellas.

The good news: I found the file containing roughly 30K words of a manuscript I thought I lost and would have cried over.

The bad news: I'm gonna go ahead and spend the rest of the day digitally reorganizing instead of writing.

BE MORE ORGANIZED THAN ME, FELLOW WRITERS!

Editing a pre-gradschool manuscript for the first time since graduation. While I am so glad that I learned a lot and really got in tune with my voice and craft, I do not love how much I'm just rewriting. Perfectionism is a curse.

Anyone else still feeling devistated #IWTV season 3 won't be out until 2026? I NEED sad and sexy Rockstar Lestat and Beautiful murder Louis.

So have some #FanFictionFriday. I had to take a break for school/novella things, but the #Loustat truth returns soon.

The sex number makes me giggle because I am a very mature adult.

165 pages read makes me feel emotional because people giving my little novella a chance. Absinthe, Alnyx, and I thank you from the bottom of our Queer little hearts. We are working on number 2 I swear.

Being a #QueerAuthor writing open door, spicy romance and having a supportive parent is equal parts hilarious and my nightmare. My father was WARNED, I promise. And yes, my retired dad and I DO talk in memes/GIFs. He understands me.

What are we doing in-between writing sessions today #booksky writers?

Wickett and I are hiding inside from the Chicago cold and working on a blanket for my dad I meant to start months ago. #knitting is my comfort craft when I'm not writing my silly queer fantasies.

"Mace, you should be working on a manuscript or marketing."

OR, hear me out. I could restart #FFXIV with as close to a look and build of my novella's MMC and re-live the beauty that is this game's story.

Me and my silly gay #Elezen are gonna go be heroes.

Is #ThrowBackThursday still a thing? Because I found some of the earliest pieces of writing that the two MCs of my recently published Novella while doing a file sort. And shared 10-25 year ago MJ's writing on my ko-fi for free (and judgement).

I expected to read a well researched #QueerRomance when I finally picked up Cat Sebastian's "You Should Be So Lucky". 1960s, would probably hurt because of what it was like to be gay in that time. I didn't expect to have why I love baseball so beautifully put.

Should I be filling out postgraduate job applications, or working on novella edits? Yes. Yes I should. However, my giant cat has decided that it is not allowed. And instead, I must pet the butt.
