What my creative process looks like & How I deal with the aftermath of writing intense scenes

January 4, 2020

Good vs Bad Representation

September 9, 2019

Representation of marginalized identities in media is very important to me. I’m very passionate about it, specifically about having representation that doesn’t further harmful stereotypes and tropes and is well developed, well thought through, and respectful to the actual people it affects. That’s what I call good representation. Some years ago I thought I wanted… Read More Good vs Bad Representation

August 27, 2019

There’s no time like the present to talk about diversity and representation! Though it may seem like we’ve been over this already, it’s been made clear to me that we still need to have this talk, because some important factors are overestimated or missing.

Am I doing this “coping” thing right?

March 25, 2019

There’s nothing like thinking you’re coping with your issues or situation and finding out you were SO wrong. I’ve been down that rabbit hole and it was as you expect one hell of a ride. Hellish. Because I’m not an omniscient narrator and life isn’t fiction I don’t have all the answers and only know… Read More Am I doing this “coping” thing right?

Let’s talk mental health, self-care, and helping others

February 28, 2019

Mental health is an important subject to me. Managing my own mental health and helping people around me deal with theirs has been a recurring theme in my life, and probably because of all that, it’s become a recurring theme in my fiction as well. It’s a common thing for many writers, to have recurring… Read More Let’s talk mental health, self-care, and helping others
