Firstly, what a wild ride it has been from the Hugos cocking up yet again because gotta love bullsh#ttery. Nice to know I'll super never be able to win a Hugo, either because they hand out awards to writers of color like Scrooge hands out charity or if I even get on the ballot (I... Continue Reading →
House of Ko-Fi
I once wrote about the concerns I had about getting things like a Patreon. They're still extremely valid concerns but I decided to open a Ko-fi instead to see how that works out. Click the picture to go to my Ko-Fi! Why am I trying my hand with Ko-fi when I did all that work... Continue Reading →
Caveat Emptor | For Ko-Fi
Caveat Emptor “Caveat Emptor” is basically Latin for “Buyer Beware”. Long post, ahoy! All for Ko-Fi, woo. I have available on my Ko-Fi a goal to go to South Korea so I can work on Soaring, my sci-fi/fantasy alternate history series. This series has been in the works since I came up with the idea...

2023: Year of the Ink Sample
This past year was The Year of the Ink Sample. I tried to dial back ink buying because I do not need to Buy All The Pretty Colors. My ink box, the box I have to hold all my ink bottles, samples and pen case, is full and overflowing. Mind you, the box is about... Continue Reading →

Year of Submissions: Year ??? – I’ll just say 2023
Woo, year of submissions. I’ve done these posts in the past but since going more indie, I submitted to others way less and less. There’s almost no point in doing so when it feels like I have a better chance of getting hit by lightning than getting a story accepted because racism in spec fic... Continue Reading →

How I Pick Conventions
Multiverse is over and I am considering conventions as a way to branch out and get new readers outside of the internet. (Safely, Covid is still real and I still have disorders. I've never caught Covid and have no desire to jacking up my disorders further than they already are, plain and simple.) When it... Continue Reading →
*Am Cries* ;_; (Or: “Pre-Game Work & Soaring”)
2025 will soon be near and that means for me a three month trip to South Korea to hole myself away and work on my book "Soaring", which will be multiple books (and long af). This has been planned for a very, very long while, almost ten years. I was supposed to go this year... Continue Reading →
