Besides writing, I am also still working on getting my certificate to become a medical coder. So technically that means that Adelaide and I are both unemployed lololol ☠️ #QueerWritersChat
The whole story only happens because Adelaide loses her job. It's a last straw situation. Her being fired from a job that she had moved across the country for really drives home how much of a struggle it can feel to just -exist- as an adult. #QueerWritersChat
Adelaide, my FMC who narrates most of the story, is freshly unemployed. Her getting fired is what kicks off the whole story. She previously worked as a grant proposal writer for a college. #queerwriterschat
Hi #QueerWritersChat! I'm Olivia (they/them). My current project is polishing the novella I wrote in February. It's an Alice in Wonderland inspired dark romance with a bisexual heroine. It's got a little fantasy, a little smut, a little horror. ✨

Forever relevant (sadly).
It helps. Truly. One of the best things you can do in life is to create things which make others happy, even for a little while. Making beautiful things with your own two hands, giving that to the world? It means a lot. Never underestimate your impact on bringing a little good into the world. ❤️

I just really love my hamster
As a bun person, I gotta say... she heckin cute. 😍
A few of my favorite things to do are zucchini and strawberries because you can get a pretty big yield if everything grows well. Potatoes are also fun to grow. Herbs always do well. I have a lemon sorrel that won't die no matter how cold the weather gets, so that's coming back up already lol
Hey you! Go subscribe to my newsletter. The first one is coming out today at noon. I talk a little about what drives me as a romance writer and why fiction is good for your brain. I also included a picture of my cat, as a bribe.

I am definitely trying to learn how to do that. I guess at least if I am pushy enough, I'll eventually snag the handful of potential readers who really enjoys being bossed around and then uh... well... there's that. ✨ Also your tactics worked one me, for sure.
The horrors persist, etc. But otherwise pretty good. I feel like I am really moving in the right direction with my writing now. Also starting to think about what I want to go with my garden this year as it starts to warm up.

Making vintage library posters is fun. ✨

Tattoo photo of my new tattoo by Fydbac right after it was completed - a bat with star and cloud details climbing with its wings.

Okay okay…before I forget.
Tattoo reveal!
A lovely new baby bat for my forearm thanks to @fydbac.bsky.social - an incredibly talented Black queer artist and I am so thrilled to have some of their work on my arm. 🥰
If you have a chance to book them - DO IT!!!
Beautiful work! ❤️
The weather in Delaware has been deeply unserious. 🙃
Fuck yeah, honestly. Gen Z knows what the deal is. And I couldn't agree more. My Millennial peers believed what we were told about college being our way to achieve stability, and it bit us in the ass. We should have demanded more. These kids deserve a better world. Everyone does.

It was 70 this morning. ☠️
lmao this is the type of vampire I would be
Yeah, it's really neat to have something handed down like that. Like I grew up with the snake plant at her house. She was much better with plants than I am. Thankful snake plants are pretty forgiving. Provided that it stays alive, eventually I can give part of it to my kid, too!
Refusing to pour one out for the homies 😆

Maybe they're born with it, maybe they have resting knife cat face.
Honestly there is nothing quite as stressful as having a multi-generational plant to take care of. Like my grandmother kept this plant alive for a long ass time. Then my mom got it and propagated it. Now I have part of it and my sister has part. I hope one day it gets as big as it was before.

Hey fellow writers, what do you like to have in your work space that helps you focus? I didn't used to be a plant person, but I now have this pothos, some succulents, an aloe, and a snake plant handed down from my grandmother in my office. 🌼
