we're all mad here
Happy New Year! 2022 is my year, y’all. I am more than a little hyped for this year, and I absolutely cannot wait for everything that’s in store. I have some big, big goals for this year, and I am so ready to share them with you. I’m turning thirty this year, and it’s the…

I can’t believe I actually just typed the words goals wrap-up, like we’re somehow at the end of 2021? Although, if we’re being honest, I am so hyped for 2022 that I’m actually pretty excited to have typed that. ICYMI, here is my initial goal setting post in January, as well as my quarterly check-in in April…

Let it be known, right from the very beginning of this post, that my future published books will always have a cliffhanger. If they’re a standalone, obviously they won’t, but if it’s a duology, the cliffhanger is coming in the first book, and if it’s a trilogy, the cliffhanger is coming in the second book.…

We’ve already discussed my favorite couples & queer fantasy MCs, and we’re chatting why I want even more queer fantasy MCs next week, but I’ve also been dropping short stories every week (here’s one for sister witches and sycamore girls!), and I thought it’d be fun to combine the two. All of my books feature…

It has been ONE MILLION YEARS just under a year since I last wrote the words Thursday Thousand, and I am hella excited to be here. In February of 2019, I began a short project where I had to post a short story every week, on Thor’s Day, that had only one parameter: it had to be,…

Happy 2021 Pride! I am so hyped to be alive and thriving for another Pride, and I cannot wait to bring you the queerest month on the blog yet! Last year was pretty amazing, not gonna lie, but I didn’t really make the whole month about Pride. I did a few posts: Favorite LGBTQIAP+ Books…

I want to begin this with a disclaimer that everyone writes differently, in the way that works for them, and this is not meant to be a how to write. This is literally just how I write, and I thought it would be interesting to break it down. One of my writer friends doesn’t write…
