  1. One of these days I am bound to have a good hairday so I can have my partner take a decent picture of me having a nap to use as my headshot. :P

    It will be true to life photo.
    Most of my life I have spent asleep, or half asleep, or so groggy and wishing for sleep that I might as well been asleep.

  2. The power of being an author with memory issues - I just finished a chapter of the Urban Fantasy book after already "finishing" it yesterday. I had forgotten a massive bit from the end, and had to add it before starting the next chapter.

    Now we will finally make it to Atlantis 2.0.
    It has taken these guys like a decade of my time to make it there. :P

  3. Me after seeing the price the hearing aids I'll need since my area doesn't have the "Free NHS Hearing Aids" assistance, so I need to save up to £3,000 despite the fact groceries put me in my overdraft this month:
    😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

  4. "Why don't you create video essays instead of just writing?" I don't talk verbally, Barbara. That's why. I mean, I do. But my mind is rushing to finish what my mouth is trying to convey. So I often stutter, and people love cutting me off mid-sentence.

    First published on Medium. This one wasn't planned; it was so personal. I mean, the title has "memoir" in it, ffs lol. I wrote this to process a heavy realisation about my own relationship with my then-fiancé. The first and only non-platonic relationship I ever had as a grown autistic adult.

    I was basically preparing myself mentally to break off our engagement at this point. Looking back, I think it's safe to say that if I begin to wax poetic about grief or equally morbid, heavy subjects on my social media, please check on me, because it means I'm deeply unwell lmao.

    • No AI
    • Author is queer and disabled!
    • Narrator is queer and disabled!
    • Characters are queer and disabled!

    We're only $250 short of the goal and this WON'T happen unless we fund it! I am low-income due to disability and can't otherwise come up with the money needed to pay a HUMAN narrator!

  9. Today is a good day!

    I have FINALLY gotten through to Amazon that there is nothing TOS-breaking in A LAKE OF FEATHERS AND MOONBEAMS!

    My queer AF retelling of Swan Lake and ALOFAM is no longer banished to the dungeons/shadow banned for "inappropriate sexual content."

    Still, I have set up ways for you to purchase my paperbacks and hardcovers basically at-cost and NOT on Amazon. This is the most affordable you will ever see physical copies of my books. As a disabled indie author who just had to pay a lot of money out of pocket to have some malignant moles removed, I'd appreciate it if you gave them a look! All are between $8 and $16 USD.

    Get paperbacks & hardcovers at a great discount!

  10. I fell a little behind after a family emergency and then immediately having a terrible POTS flare up, but I posted THREE episodes of THE LAST PAGE yesterday to my Ream! Season 2 is now up to 20 episodes!

    Focusing on getting caught up on Crossroads of Fate today and by the end of the week, I should be back on track to where I planned to be.

    Use code DREAMER30 to get 30% the Sorcerer or Enchanter Tier for six months!
