me, 3 days ago: Good thing we put the tree in the dining room, because Lily sleeps in the living room, and we don't want the big shiny thing to freak her out

#WritingPrompt

I need to try harder at promoting 🫠

I wrote a story about becoming a better person than you were taught you could be, plus there's some magic around, but that's mostly used for rainwater management and farming. There are also goats. And food porn. What if cozy, except angry?

We've reached Lego Nerd Level "combining ~5 of your sets into one big diorama" 🫣

I stg I only buy Botanicals and Animal Crossing. /defensive

This was really relaxing, though. Inner child is appeased.

It's up, in a new spot against the Nerd Wall. Should be out of Nervous Cat's main chilling area, which is nice, plus @infinitesquirrels.bsky.social added a couple of seasonal bits to our usual unhinged decor.

We do this holiday pretty low-key, but I've come to like it.

and finally, I splurged on this back in July, and despite myriad fuckery perpetrated by my country, it made it here.

This is the first official merch I've owned from my favorite show. 😭 I'm not a huge collector, but a couple of silly things do cheer me up.

1 and 3 are a hell of a combo

You know, they have a tidy little word count tracker on this system I'm otherwise kind of frustrated with. Glad I tried it.

Tracking is helping this time, I think. I look up where the count "should" be and then try to reach/surpass it. Which mostly works. Slow and steady.

Ooh also, a graph! No, it's not impressive in the slightest, but it's a graph and I like graphs. Red = total, blue = Zon only.

- The spike in 2022 = Healers 3
- It IS slowly trending upward?
- The last year or so has been chaos
- Joining group sales has helped
- Did not flatline after leaving KU 🍀

I am a sucker for trying a craft in a class. Universe, I do not need to get hooked on another one 🤣

Added the downloads from the Trans People Take On the World bundle to my spreadsheet, and with that we've passed 4k sales. Heyyyyy small victories! (This is lifetime, not, you know, today, or this week or whatever. 0.1-11 years for each title) 🎉

(Green = has covered its expenses)
Fancy coffee time!

I think it's helping. I mean, this particular tracker is pretty basic. But I go back and forth between "tracking word count is helping me stay motivated" and "tracking word count is crushing my soul." I'll use it as long as it helps.

Granted, ~2k of this was pulled in from the first draft.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

Pretty close. I still have a huge soft spot for it. Although I actually didn't listen to it till 3-4 years later. 🤷 (I'm not an early adopter; I ignored Nirvana when they existed too. I've never been cool lol)

Okay, StoryOrigin, I'm going to get my money's worth this year if it's the last thing I do. (Note, 99% of this is on me. I never initiate anything, and I'm too picky about accepting.)

Anyhow, it has a word tracker too. I've gotten away from word tracking, so maybe it'll help.

OK, so reinfusing the toys with catnip was the right move

We also see why she has gained the loving nickname "Potato" since losing her tail 🥔
November 16, 2025 at 5:22 PM
Wow, y'all. Just amazing.

(Weird amount = Rounded up to $125 and covered the fees.)

Looks like The Strangers' Sanctuary got about 20 downloads, which is fantastic. 😭 Thanks, everyone who participated or bought the bundle.

#WritingPrompt A pretty okay opening line, which aren't my strong suit usually. 🌞

Heyyyy I just checked in on this, and it passed $3k!!

My donation afterward to Trans Lifeline is heading for $100, and I'm excited~

Thanks to anyone who downloaded The Strangers' Sanctuary!

Convincing you to read my novel(s) by the first sentence! Share yours too, if you want!

(EarthLavender being a basic bitch [affectionate] is kind of a plot point)

Halfway(ish) through the bundle and doing pretty great!

(A handful of people have downloaded my traumatized-bisexuals-in-the-fantasy-countryside book; thank you so much 😭)

#WIPSnips “ancestor”. Did not expect to have this one!

From Evil Overlord for Hire, in the early moments of the fight between Zil (pretending to be the Dark Lord) and a light mage. This is the mage’s graduation party. He’s going to show off, even if his dads want him to mind the antiques.

We never get trick or treaters on our street, so it's time for fire!!

Data: It's Good at the Bottom of the Barrel?

- Left KU at the beginning of 2025
- The spikes are group promos (❤️🙏)
- itch.io never took off for me, so its collapse didn't hurt either?
- Oct. 2025 isn't complete, no D2D or itch yet

Still, it's interesting that a small-timer is chugging along.
October 31, 2025 at 10:49 PM
Starts Nov. 1! 🌈

itch.io/b/3352/trans...

32 books for $35, including my newest novel The Strangers' Sanctuary - its first time in a sale!

I'll be donating my cut to Trans Lifeline. This is not a charity sale; that's just something I want to do personally.
