I keep thinking of that “purple state” book and conservative romance and I just wanna be so clear:
when I say country music I mean like outlaw country, like yee haw fuck the law country, like y’allternative, not like bootlicking post 9/11 nationalist propaganda country music

I’m sage (they/them) and I write queer romance, fantasy, horror, & completely un-asked-for combos of the above!
After writing for joy for 15 years I’m trying to get my WIPs across the finish line in 2026 because they’re all clattering around in my head like restless ghosts 👻

You can extinguish tear gas canisters!
Wearing gloves, submerge the canister in a wide-mouthed water jug containing baking soda, dish soap, and/or vegetable oil—3 tablespoons of each per liter of water.
Cover the top with one hand, just enough to keep the gas from getting out, and shake the jug.

Lark hides that she’s been songwriting—but also song SINGING—for a famous performer, because she’s been convinced it’s the only way she can have a career in music.
What’s the biggest lie your MC has ever told? Who did they lie to and why? #WritingPrompt

If you support ICE, Trump, or this administration in any type of way, I need you to get off my page. Yes, it is that deep. A lot of you will think art or a small business shouldn't be political, but it is, and I would rather people associate my art and my business with something good.

I really love character creation and I think that shows in my dialogue and the way the people in the story drive it!
Artists, I think we're all too comfortable sharing our imposter syndrome.
I would love to see you step out of your comfort zone and confidently state what you think you're actually really good at.
No self deprecation, just what you think you're the strongest at
Is anyone brave eniough? 👀

Okay #bluepit was so fun! I made so many new friends and read so many pitches for novels I’m personally clamoring to read.
Thank you so much to everyone who made my first pitch event feel joyful instead of terrifying; it was so accessible that I threw in a second pitch at the end of the day

Anybody else go for immersion when working on a project? Music playlists, thematic tv shows, research deep dives?
Bc I started writing a romance about a country musician and suddenly I’m half a season into Nashville on Netflix…
