I’m writing a book about the worst years of my life.
Sounds fun, right?
The hardest part about writing it is…
actually writing it.
Which is kind of a stupid problem to have.
I mean, the whole story is already in my head.
I lived it. I was there.
I thought it would be easy.
Maybe a short little book. Quick project.
Instead it turned into tens of thousands of words
about things I used to think were meaningless.
Turns out… none of it is meaningless.
All those small moments, the stuff you think doesn’t matter—
that’s the story.
I think the best thing anyone can give the world
is their own story.
Because somewhere in it
someone else will recognize themselves.
And maybe that helps them heal a little.
Even in the parts you thought didn’t matter.

You don’t wake up one day in an “extreme situation.”
You ease into it.
Slow enough that it never feels extreme.
For years I didn’t think I had a drinking problem.
Because problems feel chaotic… and this felt organized.
Seven years to get there.
And the last two? That’s when it really took a nosedive.
But here’s the thing — it didn’t feel like a nosedive.
It felt like routine.
Wine at breakfast.
Not a problem… basically juice, right?
A couple Gatorades at work with a few shots in them.
Electrolytes. Hydration is important.
Beers with dinner.
Everyone has a beer after work.
Shower beers.
Bedside beers.
Black out.
Wake up early the next day… so we don’t miss breakfast.
From the outside it looked extreme.
But on the inside?
It was just Tuesday.

I drew this for a friend of mine, their birthday is coming up and this image has been haunting my mind for weeks. Glad I finally got around to doing it.
By the time this comes out, she’ll have gotten this from me.

“Chapter Characters”
The other day I heard something I hadn’t heard before, which is pretty good considering I’ve heard most things. Well, except for certain Gen Z concepts, anime slang, and tech jargon. But even there I have to add a qualifier, since I once heard a dude say to another dude at the airport, as he walked away, “Ping me!” I knew what he meant. I’m not ashamed to admit that I don’t know what cosplay or…

Probably my favorite part about writing romance as a bi/demi woman is that when writing from the guy’s POV I’m just as turned on as he is 😃

I was rereading Percy Jackson, but in honor of a new ACOTAR book coming out, I decided to reread one of my favorite series from a favorite author of mine 🏔️🌌. Though, I’ll admit, l’m a TOG girlie through and through 🤣.
Congratulations to Sarah J. Maas for another book finished and all that she has achieved 💙. She’s an inspiration.
The post also has some mental health talk in the photos, if you don’t mind 🫶.
