to the lovie who asked where I’ve been: sometimes I remember to update twitter (it’s slightly less stressful than tumblr is thanks to the character limit) and once in a blue moon I put a cat pic up on instagram

a couple stray updates:

1. am trying to let go of a book that I almost gave up on almost two years ago – if y’all were unfortunate enough to be following me that long ago you might’ve been here when I started trying to write it off as a failure. There are plot parallels between it and a series y’all love, and I teeter between Stress and Acceptance by the day. I’m about to the point where I’m just going to have to bite the bullet on it, because I can’t keep holding onto it.

2. have finally pulled one of the relics out of cold storage; think I’m finally ready to start work on it. TFC was intensely personal, but this is the story I most wanted to write. ‘tis a high fantasy about a holy war, reincarnation, and a love that can destroy worlds. etc etc. sounds a lot more interesting in summary. I’ve given myself a year to get it written, with two+ other projects out between now and then. (we’ll see how that goes, ha.)

3. Jex Lane (Beautiful Monsters) is doing a giveaway for TFC on her site if any of you are interested.

4. Read like… 8 or 10 books this year, am hoping to read a book a week next year. Am currently collecting recommendations for books. At the top of the list is Crooked Kingdom, which I pre-ordered but then never read (????!!!!!!!!!) but I’ve got plenty of room for recs if there’s something you absolutely loved or if there’s something you’re super hyped to read. (Simon VS and The Hate U Give are high on the list)

5. Look ma, no tumblr cut
