Update 26: Week of 22 Apr
Writing about gods, dragons, space mermaids, AIs, and more. Always with queer characters and with some art on the side.
I can’t wait to see my queen!!!
It is Friday today and on Monday I will be spending about 20hrs to travel back to my safe space and cuddle with my kitty. I am both excited to be back home and saddened to leave family behind. These past three weeks have been both extremely productive and quite taxing, but definitely worth it. I was able to sort a few legal and health things, I was able to hang out with my grandma and visit other relatives I haven’t seen in over a decade, and I was even able to get some work and writing done.
But, now it’s time to prepare for the trip back home :)
In the meantime, here’s another picture:
BUT ALSO! I have another thing!!
On 1 May, I will be announcing the winner for the paperback version of Soultaming the Serpent. A lucky winner will get not only the book, but also a few goodies with it. If you wanna sign up, there are two ways:

Writing update
Firstly, thank you so much for those of you who beta read Last Sunset for me. I didn’t expect this story to grow so much but I’m glad to see that it was getting love. The beta form is still open for sign ups, if you feel like you can read it and get some opinions in before I close it out at the end of this month (12k words), but even if not, I am looking forward to editing it and then sending it to you all since it’s going to be a free read for anyone part of my newsletter.
Outside of that, I was able to write 12k of God of Discovery for the 4th arc and posting will be starting on the 6th May. There is already a short chapter up that’s a recap for Arcs 2 & 3, as well as the blurb-in-progress for Arc 4. Those of you familiar with the story, you’ll know why the recap for arc 2 was also needed ;)
Chapters are going to be longer than before, but I hope my experience with Soultaming and then Star Catcher and 3V3 will make this arc even smoother than before. We are all learning and growing as we go along :)
