work going "wait what what am I doing with this" and I had the entire thing mostly road mapped in my head previously but I just can't get through this fog right now.

I've been so sick the last two weeks I'm like constantly exhausted even as I'm starting to feel better and I have so many ideas swirling in my head to get out that I'm now like creatively blockaded. I went to start work on the novella/novel? that I'm working on and literally just stared at my

with her. The other one is a found family one I'm so excited about.
Currently have two competing story ideas to the point I'm working on one in the morning and one in the evening until I hit a block in one then working the other ect ect. I'm so excited for both of these stories. One a training arc for the newest pack addition from the short I wrote and the first ops
One of my absolute besties picked me up a 1958 PINK Royal Futura 800 today in like new condition from an estate sale
Today is Trans Day of Remembrance, this year, I'm mourning the losses my community has endured including a few that I knew personally. If you need me today, no you don't I'll be spending it with some partners and friends.
WELL, fast forward to me reading "A Study of Pupfish, Margaritas, and Mermaids" by Rosemarie Dillon where within the first little bit the MC wears hearing aids due to being born with only 40% hearing who's down to 10%ish wears hearing aids and hates her voice. I feel so seen.
a record. Couple this with auditory processing disorder and there's times everything sounds like the adults from charlie brown. I am lucky that I have hearing aids. For years I have been extremely self conscious of my hearing due to people's frustrations about it. 3/4
As the years have gone by it's down to around 15-20% at this point. The nerves in my ears never finished developing which leads my brain auto completing the sounds to make it sound like what everyone else would hear but one audiologist described it like "someone lifting the needle on and off
So I've gushed about the Pull Of The Tide anthology of sapphic short stories a bit, and while I'm not quite done with it I think I found my personal favorite short story ever possibly. I've never felt so seen in a story. For those that don't know I was born with around 30-40% hearing. 1/???
I love the sheer amount of times me and my besties send each other shit and it's "OMG YES I LOVE THAT MEME" "OH YES THATS SO HOT" ect ect ect but what isn't talked about enough is the times I see something and go "Oh I should send that to _" only to realize they shared it LOL.
Whelp I added Gideon The Ninth and Her Pretty Knight to my TBR pile >.> Not sure where to start either way sapphic goodness.
Revising my patreon only smut scene and phew I flustered myself writing it.
The patreon exclusive smut scene is almost done with it's first draft and woooooof I'm excited to share it with y'all, 3$ gets you access to all current and future patreon exclusives along with some other nifty perks ^^
Whelp I did it, I did the thing and now I'm absolutely terrified. I got my short back from the editor for the final revision, and I've sent it off to the publisher and I've never been more nervous. It's just now sinking in that "I did the thing, I did it." Imposter syndrome is sinking in now @_@
So writers of bsky, I finished my first revision a couple days ago, made my changes, printed it again thinking "Oh there can't be to much more to change still" and I think my 2nd revision is getting more notations than my first..... is this normal? I'm sending it to an editor after this pass or next

That will be a jacket blurb if I ever do expand this short like I'm thinking of down the road.
Also I let my mom read my fully finished rough draft of my queer werewolf romance story....... She complained it was too short and that she wanted more of them. She wants a novel of this. I did it chat, I got my mom addicted to lesbian werewolves. MY MOTHER, THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST. "They're so cute!"
πββ¬π€Happy Halloween!π€πββ¬
Thank you for the lovely comments on my witch art this month!
I decided to wrap things up with something a little bit more monochrome.
Whelp finished my first revision going in for another pass and seeing how much still needs to be cleaned up later today, then I'm shooting it off to the editor @_@ I'm so fucking nervous and excited.
I also casually cranked out 1.4k words of this today....
Y'all, this started out as a "short 3-3.5k project to get back into the saddle again"............... this is the first draft with quite a bit more to flesh out on revision 1, let alone 2 and 3......
turn A lowkey the T4Test gundam tbh
Listen, I don't believe in Hell, but I think if this is your reaction to folks in need, you should probably go there
Preferably tonight
For those brave explorers willing to click and see replies, hey. I've got a book coming out about a girl who has a dick sometimes because shapeshifting rules. It's about falling in love and exploding, and the systems that keep us down when we should be lifting each other up. And robot wizards.
I think this book and my book will look handsome on a shelf together
Don't you think?

Y'all I honestly can't believe I already have 2 patreon subscribers I cannot thank you all enough for your support of my dreams. I also cannot believe my MOTHER said my QUEER romance was better than my photography after letting her read my rough draft.
