This photo, taken by @neohumanity Mount Rainier National Park, is serving as my inspiration tonight as I work on the Royal Mountain of Ilbeor, home of Emelle and Sovaria Palace. What would a young messenger, raised in a simple human village, thing upon becoming surrounded by riches and royalty? #messengersofilbeor #writingcommunity #amwriting #inspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CQfCyPBB_0u/?utm_medium=tumblr

Tonight I am doing something I seldom do: writing a short story and writing dystopian fiction. 2,000 word limit. Bring it!

This is a reminder to everyone this pride month to not sweat the labels.
Labels can be wonderfully affirming, community building things. Words that can give visibility and comfort, words that help you be seen.
But labels are also only ever an approximation. Our experiences and feelings and thoughts can never fully be put into words, and the best you can do is just find the label that feels the best and communicates to others what you want to communicate most effectively. There is no universal truth, no little sliver of DNA with gay or bi or pan or demi or ace or whatever written on it. We are just people trying to tell ourselves and others the important parts of us.
So if you find yourself stressing this pride month, trying to narrow yourself down to the most specific micro-label possible, remember that labels are only good and useful so long as they make you feel good and are useful.
And no matter where and how you fall under the queer umbrella, you belong.

Today’s been an Nickleback kind of day. I work best with music, but my tastes are widely varied. This album, All the Right Reasons, is my favorite of theirs, and my favorite song is Far Away. That song especially resonates with my two protagonists, who love one another despite being separated by a continent.

You have all met my writing companion pup, Sophie the Mighty Pom. Did you know in my office I also have a writing companion bird? This is Prim the Guardian Cockatiel!

Lots of balls in the air tonight as my admittedly night-owl work night begins. My two inspired characters will be created tonight, another chapter will be added to my outline, and then I put the novel aside for a few days to work on a short-term project. My pup is ready for the evening; can’t you tell?

This is Josh, my first love and one of my oldest friends. He passed of a brain tumor a little over two years ago. Today, he lives on in one small way: as the inspiration for a character in Messengers of Ilbeor living as an immortal with his partner, inspired by his real-life husband, David. It is my pleasure and my privilege to have two characters inspired by two amazing men.

My fuel of choice while writing is definitely Dr. Pepper!  What drinks and snacks do you like to have close at hand as you write?
