I'm almost done with the editing phase of both Planting Life AND Last Lady of Lună. Which means it's time to pick my next project.

The two I'm thinking of finishing next are The Bargain, and the sequel to Last Lady of Lună

The Bargain is fully written and been through a couple rounds of editing. The Bargain is a kinky found-family maybe-romance about trust, self acceptance, and getting over yourself. Sometimes what starts as a Bargain, becomes something more.

The L3 sequel will be (another) slow burn vampire why choose romance, with FF, MM, MFF, and more. Nastasia and her mates are finally working together, but her enemies and her clan have found them, and there's no saying which is more dangerous.

If either of those sound interesting, I'm throwing up a followers-only post in the reply, let me know which you want to see!

Given you researched a singular event in great depth, and then wrote personal tales of suffering surrounding that event, did you find it difficult to let it go?

Similarly, does every hurricane that forms now affect you differently than they once did?

When not writing, I try to get people interested in discussing the skulls of our ancestors (and their close relatives). Just a science museum witch at work ;)

There have been way too many to say with a straight face that one of them was the greatest impact. That's how that works.

Depends on the story. The story tells me what kind of ending it needs.

You mean like balance or proprioception? :)

(There are like 30 senses, depending on which biologist you ask.)

Smart-assery aside, I use metaphors and similes. It's "like" this or that. I save the really trippy stuff for special occasions, like meeting a god (which happened in my novella).

Of course. There's no way it couldn't, but I try to be conscious of it. I will say, writing a future utopia that's anarcho-syndicalist has forced me to realize my intuitive version of that is very middle-class/nuclear family, so my second draft is going to address that transform my protagonist's home life into much more of a collectivist space.

Oh, I've written many. From fantasy to modern day to cyberpunk tales. When the word "battle" comes up, fantasy immediately comes to mind for me, though. Big battles, little ones, psychic or telepathic, etc.

In a genre like cyberpunk, they're inevitable.

There are so many things to choose from. Here's one example, though, if you're curious.

I have this desire, over and over again, to describe *stuff* that defy sensory definition, that's beyond comprehensible. It often doesn't work, but I'm going to keep trying to crack it.
