The semi-yearly tradition continues: on Thursday, December 25th, 2025 I will be streaming on Twitch all day, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM (PT) the next day, in a grand celebration of 2025. I'll be doing some research for future projects, outlining a little bit, and playing some video games! Come write, co-work, and/or chat about the year running out and the one ahead!

Prospective sprint schedule & potential game plans below the cut; all times are in PT.

Yes, it has arrived: Best of the Year season 2026! We're kicking things off with the best books I read for the first time last year. There will be a bracket, there will be a Goodreads list, and there will be a slideshow presentation that looks like it was made by a high schooler... and if you stick around, there'll be an honorable mention afterparty, just like always ^__^ Drop by and let me know your favorites—we'd love to have you!

CAN YOU WRITE #10Kin1Day?

You know the drill: on Sunday, November 3rd, 2024 I will be streaming on Twitch all day, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 AM the next day, in order to knock out 10,000 words of my NaNoWriMo project. Come write, chat, co-work, and try to hit 10,000 words—or your own personal crazy goal—before time's up.

Yes, I have done this before, and it is physically possible. In theory. Come by! Prospective sprint schedule below the cut; all times are in PST.

WRITING RESEARCH: BOOK COVERS

Friday, August 25th, 2023 @ 10:00 AM PST on Twitch

What's in a book cover? Join me as I hop through the biggest new releases on GoodReads and talk about what you can take away as both a reader and a writer. We'll be live about an hour touring some books I've never seen before to see whether I (and you!) can guess genre, tone, and more from a book cover alone. Thanks to OHHOW for sponsoring this one with the theme 'writing research'!

RECORDING AVAILABLE NOW

Bonus: I go full Kat Blaque on a Romance novel cover.

HOW TO: PLANNING STREAM!

Come watch me plan a story, start-to-finish, LIVE on stream! Whether you are curious about practical application of various resources, need a place to start for your own outline, or just want to hear me talk about what if cis people were trans, I hope you'll stop by. Thanks OHHOW for the monthly theme of Planning to Pantsing!
