Really, I just love this scene. I’m bringing Making Readers Fall in Love with Your Characters to When Words Collide 2026. Come build characters readers will miss when the story ends. https://www.whenwordscollide.org/ #WWC2026 #WritingCommunity #CharacterDevelopment
Watched it last night, and hot damn did I enjoy it. The perfect amount of cringe, awkwardness, camp and action. I want a sequel for sure. 8/10 🤘
My piece “When the Grid Breaks” has been named runner-up for the 2026 Aruna D’Souza Award for BIPOC Writers through the SAAG Arts Writing Prize. Deeply grateful to The SAAG and the jury, and honoured to be included alongside this year’s writers. ❤️
Readers do not fall in love with a tragic backstory. They fall in love because they were there when the character changed. I’m presenting at @wwc_festival_yyc, When Words Collide 2026. Aug. 16, 1:30 PM Tickets: https://www.whenwordscollide.org/registration.html #WWC2026

What if feeling… was the glitch? Grief reduced. Joy contained. Everything… controlled. Until something breaks. Limited Edition Human is a quiet dystopia about the dangerous act of choosing to feel. 🟢 Coming May 15 from House of Void Press. 🔗 https://hfvd.link/cc-leh #dystopianfiction #indieauthor
Life is heavy right now, both personally and across the country. This is a tragedy. Not just a headline, not a chance to debate. My heart breaks for the community of Tumbler Ridge.
Your best work doesn’t come from peace. it comes from pressure, chaos, and maybe a little delusion. keep going. As for me? Currently running on caffeine, cortisol, and compliments. Happy Thursday, my creatives.
New year. New chaos. Here’s the plan. Mental health, music, muscles, and making cool shit with even cooler people. (And really, I should learn how to sing on key. And what a key is. Where to find it...)
Last night at The Palomino: Blue Odeur brought riffs, chaos & a Nerf gun. Tawnibias melted minds with vibes & velvet. Wish Whip hexed us all in the best way. The New Cinematics? Horror Goddeses at their best. 5🤘 out of 5🤘 My ears are still buzzing. My heart’s still full.
2025 was wild and beautiful. The people I met, the places I went, the things we built together. I’m deeply thankful for everyone in my life. As a few of you know, the last little while has been a lot. Things I never expected to face. But we’re still standing. Here’s to 2026.
Yeah, I tried my best, but the fates were stacked against me, and dropped too many things for me to handle. So, instead of rushing and putting out the project quickly and probably poorly, I'm going to take my time. That's it for now. You all rock.
They rise from shadow. They scream from silence. Echoes of the Ancestors is a new Indigenous-led horror anthology where ancient creatures step out of myth and into the modern world. Premieres November 28th
For the ones who touched the edge but never crossed. Who burned for meaning in places that never gave it. Who still sing in the silence. #SpilledInk #ModernLiturgy #PoetryOfPain #AscendCollapse #DarkPoetry #EmotionalAlchemy #WritersOfInstagram #PoetryCommunity #ShadowWork
