Happy New Year, y’all. Go forth, kick some butt (metaphorically), and make this next decade the best one, yet.
Hello There, New Decade (Goals for 2020)
National Novel Writing Month is Over – What’s Next?
There’s a lot to update y’all on. First, let’s start with NaNoWriMo. We’re almost a week out from NaNoWriMo, and…surprise, surprise, I didn’t get to the 50k word count goal. That’s okay! I had the odds stacked against me. I started a week into the month, and I took a trip during the last week …

In The NaNoWriMo Home Stretch!
So as I'm writing this, we have literally a whole week left of National Novel Writing Month, and I...kind of feel like it's kicking my butt. But that doesn't mean I'm not still determined! We're 7 days away from the end of the month, and I'm currently sitting at 15,826 words written in this novel. …
Novel Writing has Commenced!
The novel writing process has STARTED and I am SO EXCITED about it! At the point of writing this update, I’m currently at about 5,500 words, and it feels so good to be making this kind of progress. It had been a while since I let myself be motivated by National Novel Writing Month, but …
Should You Participate in NaNoWriMo?
Sure, 50k words in just a month is a lot to write in such little time, especially since most people still have work, families, and other daily commitments to attend to, but I think this is one of those times where it’s more productive to focus on the journey, not the destination.
Halloween Panic and Preparedness: A Memoir
Ah yes, Halloween. It’s almost upon us. I always look forward to this holiday, but it always seems to sneak up on me, leaving me panicking at the last minute trying to get things ready for the holiday. I’d say I’m like…70% prepared, this time around, but let me tell you, there are still some …

New Piece on Medium: “Coming Out is Just The Beginning”
I put up a new piece on my Medium account today in celebration of National Coming Out Day! I wanted to talk a little bit about the struggle of coming out, and how it's rarely the end of the hard work that comes with living in society as a queer individual. However, that should …

Thank you, TwitchCon 2019, For Helping Me Believe in Myself
The day before I left for TwitchCon this year, I was having the worst bout of imposter syndrome. I was putting stickers and business cards into small plastic bags, thinking “is this work even worth it?” Would anyone want those stickers, anyway? Would anyone even want to say hi? To meet me? To talk with …

From the Front Page of Twitch to the Chaos of TwitchCon
Thank you for being on this ride, with me. Thank you for your support, no matter how you’ve given it.
New Piece on Medium: “You Don’t Need Straight Pride”
My latest piece on my Medium account is up! I talked about the recent "straight pride" parade that happened in Boston, and gave my two cents about why straight pride is WILDLY unnecessary. I'm getting so sick of this topic coming up every time the queer community makes progress, or has moments of celebrating pride, …
