5 years ago seeing an article that says “Asteroid To Hit Earth” would have really stressed me out (irrationally).

Today, I don’t blame anyone for being stressed about it. It’s all rational and everything is a little numbing.

Strange request but I’m in the mood for a horror novel with queer characters. Any recommendations?

Beginning with the 1st term of #notmypresident, I have been involved in book projects that have celebrated the border and the important role immigrants play in our communities. All of them push back against the doubt, fear and hate that are weaponized by those craving power.

Let me share them.

That feeling when you go into the story winging it but the pieces come together and you end up fully fleshed out plot. 🩸🦇👩🏾‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏾

Ballet teachers are my favorite breed of human because why are we wearing a chunky knit scarf around the studio when it’s nearly 8:30 pm? Why no coat but a large blanket for the car instead?

I don’t know, but I do love it.

In uni, they preach to write what you know, but those words never had weight until years later. Yes, I am creating a fantasy world. Yes, if you look close enough, it is based on Appalachia. The mountains have a vice-like grip on me.

At some point between 2020 and 2021 I became entirely too comfortable with not doing things. This week I’ve started going to get my coffee from a local cafe before work, and the difference I feel from having done an activity in the morning is insane.

I did the thing and started working on my first novel today.

The vibe is “queer woc vampire meets queer woc princess through royal betrayal that results in vampire IVF, hot springs, and found family.”

Stay tuned for more book talk! 🩸🌈

You know the restaurant is classy when the bathroom stalls don’t have a gap large enough to see into the next one at the bottom.

Melancholic? Bake a pound cake. Anxious? Bake a chocolate cherry cake. Irritable? Bake a vanilla cake.

If you can’t tell, my methods are foolproof.

Visiting my mother in Ansdell, Lytham, and I can't think of a better place for a retired person - or any person - to live

There's a really broad mix of housing, a train station, good bus services, shops (inc luxuries like gift shops), cafes, a library, Post Office all in 5-minute walk

Writing books is quite fun because who doesn’t love making a novel out of alphabet soup thoughts?

My documents app is truly the realest of me.

Spending money on those I love is my loophole for shopping. Did I buy my partner a new lego set? Yes. Did I buy my relative a pin of their favorite novel? Absolutely. Did I purchase glass beads to craft a bracelet for a friend? Yep.

However, none of that was for me, so I did not spend any money 😌

My opinion on aesthetics has morphed dramatically since TikTok became a thing. I understand their value as everything suits a different taste from film to music to novels, but it seems that we may have run too far with aestheticism. Your refrigerator does not need to be “aesthetic” to be acceptable.

Saw Wolfman last night and I am very excited about the return of cult classic tropes in horror movies. Nosferatu was exactly what I wanted in a traditional vampire film just as Wolfman is exactly what I desired in a modern retelling of a werewolf story. Also, THE CAMERA WORK.

The irony in people using social media apps to complain about social media takes me out every single time. “We should all get a life.” Ok, babe. I’ll start when you do.

It’s the epitome of seeing your professor at the club on a school night.

Raven Kennedy has single-handedly fed my desire for a fantasy novel that has an equal balance of action and romance.

Onto book three of The Plated Prisoner series 🔔

(Please tell me somebody has read these books as I MUST talk about them)

Hear me out, Bridgerton but we make it queer. There is no focus on the historical oddity of such an occurrence. It is merely a coincidence that the entire ensemble is as far from being straight as possible.

Does anybody remember the web series Carmilla? It was popular in the early 2010s and it had the semi-goth, hot vampire with her nerdy (equally as cute) girlfriend.

Anyway, I think we should make more modern sapphic supernatural content. Yes?
