Ah the fun part about writing a long story is totally forgetting everything you've written, rereading it all to decide what happens next, and finding all the cool little things that (apparently) you wrote. Like I don't remember half this shit, damn I was cooking. How am I gonna follow this up?

Part of me wonders if I should have split my original work and fandom work between two different accounts, and then the other half doesn't care. If you like my poetry and short stories, maybe you also wanna read my vampire smut 🤷 I won't judge

Thank you to CJ for closing my poem La Malinche for this super cool anthology! If you've liked any of my gritty stories, or just generally enjoy work inspired by the lowdowns, give it a gander!
CJ's I FEEL JUST LIKE A DOGWOOD TREE is here! Incited by Terry Allen's JUAREZ album and artistic cycle, the authors herein hit hard with amazingly creative prose, verse, and hybrid writing that is as vivid and creative as JUAREZ itself.

Spent the day writing smut, pondering a very specific anthology call, and staring into the void. Time for tequila

Haven't really been sharing updates on this guy since I've been dropping them almost daily and I don't wanna flood the feed, but just posted ch.16 of my Devil's Minion fic (Don't Fear) The Reaper. It's some edgy gritty toxic fun a la Goodbye Lulu, if you liked that archiveofourown.org/works/73691186

One of the most fun parts about writing imo is going back and re-reading your work days/weeks/months later to figure out what happens next and finding all the fun little foreshadowings you forgot about

Every once in a while, it hits me in the gut just how perfect my last job was and how much I miss it 😭 like the work was enjoyable and meaningful, the people were great, the environment was ideal, I had so much opportunity all for it to be ended by arbitrary budget cuts. Capitalism fucking sucks

The best part about being a writer is forcing readers to learn about your niche interests through your work. I swear classic goth rock and Egyptian death rituals are relevant to the plot!

I WANT to WRITE but I am still SICK and VERY SLEEPY. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

Oh you MOTHERFUCKER don't you dare walk in here and try to claim that what I write has anything to do with you. Fuck allllll the way off. If you think that DFtR is a sweet love story meant to romanticise things, you are fundamentally misreading the text

Ok, I was just shy of updating every day for a week, but 21k words in just over 7 days has to be a personal record

Writing fic years ago: they're gonna smash and they're gonna do it now!
Writing fic now: they're gonna smash, and it's been 20k words, but they haven't *earned* it yet. They need more angst, more trauma.

Most of my Oshamir work is modern AU, but might as well highlight something older.
A Modified Plan is a modern AU oneshot featuring the OG heavily-modified Q- piercings, tattoos, and even more 😘 archiveofourown.org/works/57852976
