AND Author of Desires: The Oldest House (pending publication… and writing)
I’d like it to be known that my book(s) has a lot of serious themes in it and this just so happens to make it look like it’s safe for kids to read. There’s drug addiction and child kidnapping in this book.

Sometimes I reread stuff while I’m line editing and find things and go, “damn, I wrote that??” It’s always an amazing feeling.

It’s my cover art! Paid a nice pretty penny for it. It shows my main characters and their silhouettes against a white background. It’s telling of the type of story(stories) this is

Some lore as to why money isn’t really a thing in Desire’s The Oldest House.
After seeing or interacting with impossibility, your desires bring you to a… stranger position. Your interest and desires are payment enough. Money isn’t even close to what it’s worth anymore.

Call me dramatic, but after wrapping up the first draft of my 3rd manuscript, I reflect on the best parts of writing. When the story continues.

I’m exhausted, and yet I want to write more. I’m excited, moved. And left shaken from the sadness of the story.

I tend to get ideas for arcs and characters from songs I find myself listening to. Colleta’s Agoraphobia captures the theme for my MC.
Six is confused. It doesn’t help with all the time reset stuff and the amount of concepts and plot points going on… or maybe I’m a messy writer

When writing a paradox, I try to make the story recursive. Or at least the events are. There’s the loop that happened that you don’t see and the one the reader is reading. For the paradox to take place, something has to either happen or didn’t happen at the same time.

The word is at the top of the page. Gotta go full screen to see it. There’s a surprising amount of “knocked out.” Prose in this work. But I wanted to be fair

During the editing process, there are some things I leave alone. A lot of it involves prose of philosophy. Where the theme of the story comes together at a climax. If my stuff gets made into a show or movie, I wonder how it would look on screen. I’m proud of this paragraph

I love this game. It’s been some years since I last played it but I still think of this game fondly

Here’s a vid from tiktok with the leitmotif from the song and other songs from the game. This is a beautiful song and an amazing motif.
Also, this song IS HARD TO SING PROPERLY, but it’s fun to sing anyways.

I didn’t expect demon slayer in the JJK manga. It’s a pleasant surprise

When you beat the game and come back to this and then you realize who exactly the art is depicting. This game’s ending was absolutely beautiful. It kinda changed the way I saw love. Though we didn’t get to see noctis and Luna interact often, I just knew they had intense feelings for each other

Huh, I could’ve sworn that was Ian Alexander because of how similar Jordan and Lev looks. But now that I’m looking at them side by side I can tell the differences now.
Either way, I liked Tati Gabrielle in the Sabrina Netflix show. This is a day one buy

I made my book covers finally! I have like 5 or 6 more short stories to write it here are just some of what I’ve made already. It’s made from a bunch of stock silhouette pictures from Vector. It’s garbage, but I’m broke and can’t afford an artist rn
