- I did it! I crawled directly out of my writer's cave and into bed at 2am, but the novella draft is done.
- I need this snow to not kill my power before I can finish writing thisbook
- In case you missed it, I've got some reading goals to meet next month! But first, time to finish this novella draft...
- I'm setting the goal! I want to read 10 books next month, the shortest month of the year, and I'm going to share as much as I can on social media to keep myself accountable. These books have been on my reading list for ages and it is finally time to tackle them. #BogWitchReads #ReadingGoals

- watching a show on a platform that has ads and I keep seeing this one from spectrum that portrays the "farmers in the fields" as some white guy checking the soil and not the predominantly Latine, immigrant workforce who actually tend and pick the produce that we eat

- fat bear week single handedly hoisting my mental health upon its shoulders
- The only way I have found so far to truly counter feelings of inadequacy and failure in my writing is to WRITE MORE, so I guess that’s what I’m going to do

[Not loaded yet] - You know a horror film has done some good work when the monster's appearance makes me say, "what the fuck!?"
- lol if I just rewrite the same scene over and over again that counts as work, right? it will eventually get finished, right???
- Feeling deeply irresponsible for not having posted much on any platform, but I'm exhausted and trying to get a draft story out ASAP
- Reposted by Jes Malitoris[Not loaded yet]
- Writing status is: two stories written that I absolutely not going to get edited in time, one story started that I have due to a pub at the end of the month! and hitting refresh on book submissions >.>

- Such a pleasure to be able to contribute to the conversation!
- Reposted by Jes MalitorisIt is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you
- Reposted by Jes Malitorisif you’re not committed in defense of everyone’s rights to erotic expression, pleasure, and desire, as a part of life and art that’s valuable and vital to thriving for so many (especially queer) people… you’re not my colleague or ally. And you need to catch the fuck up real quick.
- lol this fantasy show has found an in-universe way to incorporate the equivalent of cell phones but every time i hear the buzz of the MC getting a call it cracks me up
- Clocking in at 11k words, the first story is finally done. Now to let it sit for a few days while I work on the next and decide what to do with it

- Tragic update: It has passed from "short story" into novelette territory.
- My neck of the woods continues to be busy, but watch this space! I've got a little interview coming out in PM Raymond's newsletter about "intellectual scaffolding" and how I implement the concept in my writing practice.
- THIS STORY IS TOO LONG
- Hopefully one day soon I’ll be able to announce pub of a deep sea luminous dead X annihilation novelette and a medieval horror crypt bride short!
- I’ve been terrible about being online lately, sorry folks! Really busy with life stuff and also scribbling away at new stories!

- I had such a great time tonight talking with @mcmanlypants.bsky.social and @joncarrollthomas.bsky.social about queer horror! Thank you so much to everyone who came out and asked great questions, and to Durham Public Library for hosting!
- The Alters is a fun base builder, but at its heart it’s really kind of sweet and goofy. I had no idea what to expect in a game where you’re being social with other versions of yourself but the writing is great.
- I'm not participating directly (this novel is not particularly hot or wet), but I'm writing alongside you! Good luck!
