Honestly, I've had a huge amount of trouble writing over the past few months, so I've dipped my toes back into fanfic just to get my brain going again. I'm trying not to feel ashamed- it does feel like there's far less stigma than there used to be.

lmao this is how I find out that the person who was my 2003 make-a-wish for cystic fibrosis has now written stereotypes of people like me into her novel. incredible.

If able bodied spent half this time working with the disability community to advocate for disability to pay enough to actually live on, we would half at least 3/4 less of the current problem than we do now. Just saying.

I've had money saved up for a dream writing retreat since right as covid started and I'm just sitting at it sadly going 'one day maybe I'll get to go.' This is the PITS.

It's still wild to me that some of the biggest genre writing workshops looked at covid predictions and went 'yah, let's have it in person' when virtual would be more accessible in every single way to marginalized folks.

Also hi I’m going to finally talk about the newest novel I’m working on. It’s an adaptation of Austen’s Emma, if Emma was a mech pilot and a bisexual mess who was also maybe into Frank Churchill AND Jane Fairfax

I haven't talked about it because I don't want to make a big deal out of potentially nothing, but I'm being evaluated for an RYR-1 related disease. Three weeks to get test results back, so fingers crossed it's negative.
