It’s time to talk about my experience as a bisexual grey ace woman. The first thing we should cover is the question: What is grey ace? Well, it’s when someone falls between the spectrum of allosexual (typical sexual attraction) and asexuality (no sexual attraction). Asexual folks can be sex-positive and engage in sex.

Why I will not be having kids.
I saw something profound today that made me want to write this opinion piece. Ironically, it was a youtube comment in response to deforestation impacting antbirds and army ants.

Darkness versus “The Light” – We need to twist things up more.
One of the most overdone tropes in fantasy, ever, is the concept of ‘dark bad’ and ‘light good’. I’m so utterly tired of it, and I bet much of the world is as well. Yes, humans are a diurnal species and trust the sun to be ‘good’ for us. It makes sense, biologically, we’d likeContinue reading “Darkness versus “The Light” – We need to twist things up more.”
Over 50 rejections, but I’m publishing anyway!
Ouch. To be honest, agents really do not like my story, and I will not lie and say all these rejections didn’t hurt. I tried very hard to push my story, but in the end, agents said no. That’s okay. Self-publishing is my choice, and while feedback on my story has been mixed so far,Continue reading “Over 50 rejections, but I’m publishing anyway!”

The Start of my Freelancing Journey?!
Well, I’ve done it – I’ve resigned from my position in a company due to personal reasons, and it’s time I moved on in life.

Religious Extremists Worship One Thing. Toxic Relationships.
This isn’t something I wanted to touch upon, but it’s been on my mind and I need to get these thoughts out. I’ve been watching Telltale, and my thought go beyond just the clip I’m about to share.

The hatred for toxic ships goes farther than skin-deep. On the surface, it’s something to be angry about because you’re unhappy characters are together despite various toxic situations like gaslighting, jealousy, or abuse.

Those Damn Voices… (Serious Rant about abuse)
“You’re being too hard on her. She’s done so much for you and you really should be nicer.” “All of the yelling. I flinch so much at someone raising their voice or their hand.
