Me!
I’m a writer in my late 20s, trying to figure out love, life, and how to get the most out of my MA in Literature. I love research and, no joke, analyzing the heck out of every single piece of media I consume – so expect a lot of that here.
I’ve got an an opinion on basically everything. If you like strong opinions, candid talk about mental/physical health and trauma, and the occasional ode to fictional characters, then you’ll probably love me.
And if you don’t… oh well!
This blog focuses on analysis of nerdy media, book reviews, and lots of commentary about race in fandom and the source media that spawns our favorite fandoms.

On edging away from fanfiction to original works
I’m writing less and less fan fiction lately. Obviously. I mean, I went from writing dozens of pieces of fan fiction a year (I went from writing 400k words a year to less than 70k) to less than twenty in … Continue reading

Snippet – Saw Palmetto Sacrifice Chapter 1
With all the Urban Fantasy/Paranormal Romance I read, I think it makes sense for me to tackle the genre and try to put my own spin on it. Saw Palmetto Sacrifice is what happens when I look at what I … Continue reading

Frozen in Fear of Failure
I haven’t managed to submit another story since I sent in “The Accidental Spider-Queen” to Fireside Fiction back in April. At first, it was because I hadn’t been writing. My former day-job (the part time one I quit in a … Continue reading

[Snippet]: Breaking And Entering
I’m really pleased with how much progress I’ve made on this story. I thought that it’d be stuck in my WIP folder forever but something just clicked into place for it this past weekend and I wrote about four thousand words for it. I like the way that it’s turned out so far and I’m so pleased with this goopy and fluffy story that I’m going to just put my all into it and try and finish it as soon as possible!
This is a story about a lonely snake demon, a grouchy god with a sweet center, and the sentient temple that thinks that they’d be perfect together.
Enjoy! Continue reading

It says a lot about how unproductive I’ve been lately that this weekend’s progress has left me stunned. Normally, when I get off of work on Friday afternoon it takes me until Friday night, maybe Saturday morning, to get into … Continue reading
