The big 50 looms! Saturday.

And the book of my writing path... is released into the wild.
1st March is next week!

Wolf's Path is a collection of my stories from the start of my writing path until now. I turn 50 this year.

The collection is unapologetically queer & trans & joyful and angry & painful.

Still in that weird lull of “things have been initiated but I need help to get through until everything clears and stabilizes” which could be, IDK, I’m hoping before January but who knows. Medical expenses and other pinches wait for no woman’s convenience alas.
OK! Starting an official "let's get through December and then as long as we can" drive. I'm asking for a starting goal of $2K, which will cover my rent, utilities, a portion of meds, and a cushion for a bit. If you can help, I need and welcome the help. Tipjar can be found here: ko-fi.com/jazzelves

Hey y'all, @flashpointsf.bsky.social has a very modest KS goal to keep the lights on via some very reasonably priced rewards! Help support a home for paying SFF flash online!

If you're looking to dip into indie fantasy, but don't know where to start, there's a huge mega bundle going on right now on Itchio! 64 books for $45!

The Wings of Ashtaroth (which I just mistyped as "Wigs of Ashtaroth" along with a bunch of other typos 🤣 is in it!

On the question of Jospeh Campbell, his conception of the Hero's Journey, and its failure to account for significant parts of activism and hero-work...

Hi. I am still on hiatus/break, that means I am not working on anything.

Good that I am on hiatus/break, I don't get to see all the "best of" book lists. Mate, it's just your opinion (also driven by marketing).

I know I am supposed to be on hiatus/break, but oh man, I so do want to chat/reach out.

An odd state of mind.

Has anyone ever learned precisely why so many hashtag resist, blue wave folks have something like "NO DMs I WILL END YOU" in their bios? I have partial theories but it is so odd, especially given that there's a setting! Did they all find this advice somewhere? What DM hellscape do they come from?

I know I am on break, but there are at least three stories I need to upload.

I am a Singaporean. We don't know how to take breaks.

1k quotes on the original post. see. we're not gatekeepers, we like questions!
Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone.

I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.
