After having the page in "drafts" for nearly two years, I've launched my Patreon! I have so much writing that was cut from various versions of Brightwash + Brick & Bone that was GOOD but didn't fit. I have shorter stuff stuck in limbo! Come get it!

It’s okay to get rid of the boxes for the electronic thing you’ve had for the past four years

I am horrified to report that some stores are selling JUMANJI in spite of the eye-opening documentary that came out in the ‘90s

I didn’t know Cracker Barrel and pegging were overlapping on the Venn diagram of life but I feel like I shouldn’t be surprised

Where are my fellow slow writers at? There’s a lot of pressure to release quickly, and I’m so impressed by people who can, but I need a little company here in Slowsville.

Brightwash broke even today. I was not expecting it to happen, never mind within 18 months of publication. I was ready and willing to grind for a long time, for it to build slowly. It being OUT was enough. But instead it broke even and I can't possibly thank all of you enough.

You can either have a couch that is comfortable, or you can have a couch that looks nice. You cannot have both. Choose wisely.

It’s dawned on my that I intend to be working on TWO novels at the same time that both have travel as an important part of the plot arc, so it’s made me wonder… What is it about travel in books that fantasy readers hate so much?

Into the mind of a fantasy writer: What’s the name of that mountain chain again? Jfc this is pathetic I forgot the name of my own mountains I guess I’ll check my map, thank fuck for maps …There’s no name on those mountains? Did I forget to name an entire mountain range????

OMG I AM A FINALIST???? I would like to thank my crappy rural internet for making this experience as memorable as possible—suddenly I had a thousand notifications but none of them were loading so there was MUCH SUSPENSE 🥳🥳🥳🥳

After struggling with affect/effect for literally my entire writing career, I saw a meme that says “Affect = fuck around, Effect = find out” and now I always know the correct one to use 🥰
