new stuff & changes
i think it's been almost 10 years since i changed my blog colors/theme and 5 years since i changed my profile pic, but it is time. i am no longer Jesse Pinkman but Marilyn Monroe. this specific photo is widely acknowledged as her favorite.
it's been colorized though and i can't find that attribution. but the photo itself was taken by Cecil Beaton in 1956.
i spent a big portion of last year researching Marilyn's life for basically no reason. i just wanted to. and here i am, no longer a person but 10,000 Marilyn facts in a trench coat.
i took an accidental 6 month hiatus from my newsletter, but! i posted a new one this month to celebrate my fifth year as a writing coach.
or: my new sidestack, OFIC Mag Issue #11, and celebrating my 5 year coachiversary
i also launched an additional substack, unhinged morning pages, where i'll post my writing log, craft analyses, fiction, and personal essays. my lowkey writing-related newsletter will remain free, but unhinged writing pages will have paywalled posts.
if you want to support me as a writer, you can subscribe to unhinged morning pages for $7 a month or $70 a year. at the moment i plan to post 2-3 times per month.

my August 2024 writing log (scheduled to post tomorrow on ump).
i'll be opening summer asynchronous @fanauthorworkshop applications and @oficmag issue #13 submissions soon.
i'm working on revising my novella, Coping Skills, to post to ump in 4 parts.
i fully intend to post another lkwrnl in May. whether or not this will actually happen remains to be seen.
as soon as i have H4H out to early readers, i'm pivoting back to fanfic. i've got multiple wips to finish, an anora fic idea, a sunrise on the reaping fic idea, and my FTH fic which i'm jazzed to start working on.
things are happening! just so, so slowly.

Ouch—turns out there’s nothing “soft” about a softball when it slams straight into the bottom of your cup. I had volunteered to ump the girls' softball tournament since they were short on staff, thinking it’d be a quiet afternoon. I learned otherwise. That ball bounced off the dirt and nailed me right in the cup, pinching my nut that had shifted below the cup. I hobbled through the rest of the game, nursing sore nuts and even sorer pride.
