About Journaling

"Bluesky Threads"

Trying to find the month and year I bought a journal before I begin writing in it... Yeah, definitely NOT neurotypical.

I have general journals for regular notes I take while watching certain YouTube videos. I have separate journals- 1 for my sci-fi and 1 for my fantasy. I ain't doin' that no more! Fantasy and science fiction can share a journal. They’re thicker than the journals I used to buy.

Also, the comic, Summer to Winter, has its own library. It used to share with other stories, but I quickly learned to give it its own journal "series."

When Old Becomes New

Ok, I sketched some other old characters, and now their story I wrote eons ago is flowing out into the journal and I better remember to return to the other graphic novel story about the former student and teacher hookup or I'll legit have folks out there ready to kill me.😅

This story deals with childhood friends who end up working at the same high school and  I will say no more for now. And to my nascent 'fans' of the other about former student and teacher, I'm STILL WORKING ON IT. It's crazy, comic's still in draft, and people act like it's published.😅 

Most of my short stories and comic romantic couples are interracial and/or interfaith. Though I love romance both on TV and in books, I was frustrated by the constant homogenization... Again, I write what I didn't see in a lot of popular culture growing up.
