I did the Big Scary Thing and posted up a few chapters of my draft on Inkshares!

The Glass Tree is a character-focused epic fantasy novel with a diverse cast, and if that sounds like the kind of thing you might want to take a look at, the link is here:

Hi everyone, I'm Grem and I'm totally new to mastodon. I'm demigender (she/her).

I'm predominantly an LGBT high fantasy writer, currently working towards self-publishing my first novel.

I'm also big into video gaming. I love me a good story-driven RPG.

I have a very antisocial cat named Morrigan, and nothing cheers me up like a good cup of tea. :)

My cat: Water is evil, get it away from me, I will make an enormous fuss if even a drop of it touches my magnificent fur

Also my cat: 'scuse me while I stand in my water bowl

Today is one of those days where I can clearly see a whole bunch of things I could do to improve my surroundings and make myself feel a little better but I can't do any of them because things like hoovering the house and cleaning the kitchen feel like gargantuan tasks

everyone please take a moment to appreciate how pretty my cat is thank you

Male entitlement to non-male time and effort is annoying.

Woke up this morning to a text from my dad that didn't even start with 'hello, how are you' before it launched into how he's booked a holiday over my birthday and wants me to spend said birthday approx. 100 miles away from my husband who has time booked off work (not easy to come by for him) taking care of my granddad at short notice.

I love my granddad but nooooo

How to tell if your cat is plotting against you

In my experience you can generally tell how a day is going to go by how many attempts it takes to get your tights on the right way round

Bought myself a new mug. I do not need a new mug, I have more than I can fit in my mug cupboard, but I like mugs.

I've been really struggling with my primary writing project for a while now so it's time to hop genre and work on something new for a bit. This means I get to do a whole bunch of world building and character generating, which has always been my favourite part. #amwriting

I mean obviously it's nice to be listened to by a male doctor, it's just also rare as rocking horse shit (especially as a femme who has a few extra pounds on them) and therefore unexpected.

So I've been having symptoms recently that would track with me potentially having endometriosis. Yay, what fun.

So I went to my (male) GP today prepared to fight tooth and nail (let's be real I'd have caved immediately, people are scary) to get him to consider it, because I've read some real horror stories about endometriosis diagnosis.

I got 'endometriosis, that's a good thought. We'll get you booked in for an ultrasound'.

The heat wave has eased off and I can now move again.

I do not summer good.

My cat is sick. She should be fine - vet reckons it's an infection, she has another appointment tomorrow morning just to make sure her temp is going down because it was very high but then she should be free and clear.

I however had a massive panic attack immediately followed by having to get into a taxi with a stranger and a sick cat to go to a new vet because mine didn't have any appointments on my own because the husband is at work.

I am so tired.

My cat is a very acrobatic sleeper

This furry little menace is three years old today! I still remember when we picked her up and she was just a tiny ball of hyperactive, talkative fluff. Now she is a slightly larger (but still pretty tiny and cute) ball of hyperactive, talkative fluff. We love you Morrigan.

Can't focus on my work-writing because I'm too entrenched in my non-work-writing. #amwriting
