*Trailer Park Heiress* Karla is a trans woman in her 20s, estranged from a family with a notable number of bachelor uncles who keep leaving her weird inheritances which are more trouble than they're worth. But when one black-sheep passes in a freak accident, she gets more than she bargained for.

Itch needs search filters for purchased works, I'm not buying much there anymore because it will get lost in the library. Quite a while back I bought a bundle with 59 pages of games and other content, and trying to find something from it to download gives me anxiety.

reminder that I did a thing, and people seem to like it! still can't believe I wrote this many words omg (links in bio for where to read it!)

Age should be counted backwards from 95 instead of up from 0 Under my preferred system if you reach 0 then you're Officially Ageless, gain legal recognition as a cryptid, and cops have to pretend they can't see you

It seems like an appropriate time to post this… archiveofourown.org/works/940210... A robot costume discovered in mint condition in the back rooms of #Dorley provides a grave puzzle. And Halloween is just around the corner… what could possibly go wrong? (Conclusion chapter released tomorrow.)

Trailer Park Heiress chapter 7 is up on Patreon! This free month link still works too.

I want my stories that are set in real-world locations to feel real to the people living there. I want my stories set during real events to feel real to the people who experienced those events. I want the lives I write to feel like a life someone lived. I want it to feel too real to be fiction.

Sometimes writing just feels like screaming into the void, or throwing away a meal you just cooked. Sometimes you pour your heart and mind and effort into your work and nobody sees it. But you keep doing it anyway, because writing isn't just something you do, it's part of who you're supposed to be.

Writing isn't really something I decided to start doing, it's something I decided to stop *not* doing. I've always made up elaborate stories in my head just to pass the time, but now I get them out onto pages instead of letting them mostly slip away.

Got another chapter of Trailer Park Heiress up this morning, in which Cheryl figures out how to say "Kosciusko" The free month is still available if you want to check it out!

Goddess frickin' bless, there are people in certain discords I would give a stern warning to if I were a mod, and would ground from their electronics if I were their mom

There is no person more obnoxious to me than someone who habitually argues in bad faith. I find it especially repugnant when that person of no integrity changes facts which are inconvenient to their position, especially when their position is simplistic and absolutist.
