Writer. Designer. That guy who duets random videos on TikTok and tacks on writing advice. Currently querying my dark fantasy.

Built an authorities over the weekend, and I thought I’d have a little fun with it.

The next book I want to read has to punch me in the gut in the same way Homeward Bound did when Shadow fell into that mud pit. Rip my guts out and make me cry at the end, plz. Any recs? Preferably Indie published.

I spent the weekend taking a hatchet to my manuscript’s word count. That’s my Super Bowl.

Feeling cute, might go trim 24k words out of my manuscript this weekend to see what that looks like 🪓 #writersky

The amount of times I’ve put off reading a book because of the book cover 🙂‍↔️

I’m grateful for the kind rejection I received from a literary agent this weekend. Decided to write about it. #booksky

The vibe shift from the book I’m querying to the WIP now is nuts.

Querying: eat the rich, fuck fantasy big pharma

New book: awe, cute animals 🥰

Ok, but what font do other writers use to write their stories?

I know, I know… Times is industry standard. But I’m a designer, and fonts can really set the mood. I only convert my manuscript to times after my first draft. #booksky

I started querying my most recent fantasy book in Nov. I thought I’d share my progress with my first batch of queries.

I would love to hear of any tips other writers might have. Words of encouragement 😅. Process has been fun, and a lot more work than I thought. #booksky

What kind of person am I? 😤 It’s 9pm on a Saturday and I wrote strongly worded letters to my senators about how spineless they are and how much they’ve destroyed by pushing this TikTok ban.

And a little thank you letter to my rep, who voted no.

Dear algorithm,

I’m new here. TikTok refugee? Looking to connect with other writers, book lovers, or cat dads. Maybe people I already know from other platforms? If you know me, comment hi! 👋
