Greetings! I write poetry and YA contemporary fiction. I follow and like on my personal blog, thousand-pipe-dreams.

WIP INTRO: Glass Butterflies

genre: YA Romance

themes: popularity, fitting in, authenticity

K.C. is the star quarterback and has everything he could want: popularity, great friends, and a bright future.

In a small town that worships athletics, Aaron feels invisible. He eats lunch alone, his camera his only friend.

When these two opposite boys are paired up together in chemistry class, they find they have more in common than they ever imagined.

I've talked about my WIP on here before, but I've never made a formal post. Since I will be working on Glass Butterflies for NaNoWriMo, I thought today would be a great time.

Additionally, the drawing of Aaron (left) and K.C. (right) was made by a close friend for my birthday.

If anyone wants to be added to the tag list, just let me know!

So we're all gonna let the new Harry Potter show die on the vine, right? No hatewatching. No thinkpieces. No videos about how bad it is. Deprive it of oxygen and let it wither away unremarked-upon and unprofitable; make HBO lose their entire investment and prove to the corporate entertainment sphere that the entire IP is poison. And spend that time doing something that brings you joy instead.

I feel so insane about ai. I've had face-to-face conversations with people who use it for therapy, who use it to calculate the safety of pill interactions, who use it for all their emails and grant applications and legal documents and academic papers and finance sheets and for every single question they have about the world, and if you tell them about the ecological costs they just laugh and say "I guess I've used a lot of water." and I've been in multiple gatherings of 10+ people where I'm THE ONLY PERSON who doesn't use chatgpt. it's turning me into a ranting raving pariah, because how don't you people see??? why don't you understand??????? this bullshit didn't exist five years ago, you absolutely do not need it, and it is destroying everything

everyone always surprised when you can learn bits of information about them from the characters they make... dearly beloved. you took a lump of clay with no form and shaped it with your hands and thought you wouldn't leave fingerprints? what hubris! you leave scraps of yourself in everything you make. sometimes it's a lot more than scraps but just for you i'll pretend i didn't notice

yeah yeah having a crush is embarassing but have you ever watched yourself develop a new category 5 character obsession in real time. agonizingly humiliating shit

i do have to say that no matter how shitty any sort of media is or how shitty your own creations are. always remember

crazy how the printer is the only piece of tech that acts up like that almost every day of its life. and we just accept it

[waterandsilver]

i don't think i've ever met a printer that actually wanted to be a printer. i think most printers have dreams of being on the stage

Why does everyone think fiction is just fantasy wish fulfillment now and not like an exploration of themes and ideas

[treecitysessions]

People will be like “this movie is evil and gross because it depicts a predatory relationship” and then you watch the movie in question and it’s about how preying on young women is bad and impacts their lives negatively

[treecitysessions]

“Why would they do this instead of just making everyone in the movie nice and normal and good” so we would have this conversation….
