After a long break...
🕑 Added 2023-06-22 18:06:12 +0000 UTCI'm finally back with something I'm really excited to show everyone.
I've been in the lab for some time trying to figure out what I've been doing with my work and my voice and I'm sure that's been VERY apparent in the eclectic scatterbrained work I've been putting out for the last few years. The whole world has been in disarray-obviously-and I've been trying to figure myself out during all this insanity which has led to a lot of not fully honest or realized work. Not to the standard that I want to hold myself to as an artist and the work I put out for other people to take the time to read at least.
This story has been what I've needed for a long time. Something that feels like it gets back to the heart of what I've always wanted to create. Queer media for queer people to normalize our lives. The way we fall in and out love. How we deal with heartbreak and loss. The ways that we're really no different than anyone else.
In a lot of ways I've been incapable of writing honest work because of my inability to be honest with myself, but I really hope that this is the beginning of a whole new era for me and my stories and my relationship with my readers that make everything I do possible and worth it.
Alright. So. The story.
I'm absolute crap with summaries and synopsis-if you can't tell-and I really don't want to drone on about a tale you really should just read for yourself, but I do want to preface with just one thing. Ever since I came out as trans I've really wanted to write a story about a trans man. I never see people like me in media, and especially not in literature, and I really wanted to be able to have some kind of protagonist I could see and relate to. To feel normal in my struggles.
It's been a long run with a whole lot of drafts for different stories that didn't QUITE work out, but this is the story I've been wanting and waiting to tell for a long time. I know this may not be as significant to all of my readers but I do hope that this story reaches someone who needs that visibility. To just see themselves as just another guy going through life. Normal. Valid. Loved.
Okay, well. I think that's enough ear chewing for now. Y'all have a story to read after all. And as for what I've been doing the last few years and all my unfinished drafts and ramblings, I was informed the other day that you guys might be interested in reading through stuff like that. So, if you're interested in checking those kinds of things out let me know in the comments and maybe I'll start posting more behind the scenes kind of things!

I can't speak for everyone, but yes, I would be interested in checking those types of things out. I've also noticed that you are no longer on Twitter anywhere. So here is the only place I can catch up on or learn about anything new you may be putting out.

Sorry it took me so long to get to read this. It was well worth the wait. This is a very good story. I liked the characters and the premise. As usual, its a good character driven story that just happens to have some very descriptive, and VERY hot, love scenes in it.
