I’ve given some more thought as to Christmas, which is now done with. The Discord I’m in is very Christmas-forward, and I was thinking about what feeling the dozens of ‘Merry Christmas’ comments engendered in me. As you might expect, the answer to that is ‘it’s complicated’. Here is my post from yesterday. Twenty years… Continue Reading
I have a long, complicated history with holidays. I learned the truth about Santa when I was seven or eight when I got up to check my stocking and there was nothing in it. I went to tell my mother, and she told me to go back to bed. She would talk to Santa and… Continue Reading
I’m going to do it. I’m going to muse about what my ideal life would look like. Why? Because maybe it will make me figure out my actual realistic goals for 2026. First off: I want a fuck buddy. Or three. I have been trying to line one up for several years, but something has… Continue Reading
I’m back to talk more about my plans for the new year. It’s been over four years since my medical crisis, so it’s past time to actually think about my life (since I still have one). Today, I want to talk about something that I think will be impossible to find, and then try to… Continue Reading
I’m back to talk more about labels. I know they’re needed and useful, but I would prefer to do away with them. Here is the post from yesterday in which I veered hard into talking about horror games for a bit. Why? Why not. Because it was spooky season, and while I enjoy it, I… Continue Reading
In yesterday’s post, I was listing all the labels I use that are close enough, but not quite. I acknowledge the need for labels, but I don’t like them. Not in the deceptive ‘no labels, but, really, labels, but no, we won’t call them labels’ way of certain billionaires in this country. I pretty much… Continue Reading
Let’s talk gender identity. This is something I’ve thought a lot about in the last five years or so. I’ve never felt a burning need to identify with ‘woman’; it was just the easiest way to define myself. It’s the gender/sex I was born into, and it was…fine. At least, if I did not look… Continue Reading
In the last post, I wrote about diversity and how it’s not a dirty word. I also wrote about how it’s a part of me and not an affectation. I will say that it’s deliberate in that I choose to make the majority of my characters minorities. So, yes, in that case I’m doing it… Continue Reading
I’m back to write about writing one more time. In the last post, I veered into ranting about the state of the world right now and how anti-inclusive it currently is (especially in America). I have been fighting this fight for thirty goddamn years, and I’m so tired. I did not realize that electing a… Continue Reading
For quite some time, Novemember has been novel-writing month for me. I have done NaNoWriMo for over a decade, and in the latter years of doing it, I became a NaNoRebel instead because I was bored with the original premise (writing 50,000 words in the month). I’ll be honest–I can easily write 50,000 words in… Continue Reading
