Hi! I'm poet! I'm an old (at heart if not reality) writer transwoman who runs a library and teaches writing classes and then uses all her skills to write very good queer stories involving 1) dragons, 2) moms, or 3) older butches, often all three at the same time!

For the past forever, I've been writing Dragon Moms, a serial story about queer moms having adventures and family problems! http://www.dragonmoms.com

You can find my other stories and novels here: http://www.poetfox.com

I've been low key sick all week, so I haven't been working out to try to rest, and it is awful. I hate not working out. I hate resting. I'm very anxious. But I'm going to be good and rest...

My brother and I continue to have exciting Monster Hunter conversations.

Writing a scene with Baroness in it today and I missed her. I missed writing her.

I'm trying very hard to have the story be informed by Dragon Moms but not have Dragon Moms be required reading, but it's just nice to reconnect with characters, I think.

This is going pretty well. The lead is the most romance manga protagonist, but I think she's fine, and the King and supporting cast are a lot of fun.
However, every volume ends with a short joke comic called "The Beast Princess and the Regular King" where all the monsters are humans and vice versa. I kind of think I'd rather be reading that comic. The Beast Princess is very cute.

I never pick the "playful teasing Captain" dialog options, though I approve of them being there, but I had to admit, the sheer bad joke-ness of "More like Supreme Puker" made me laugh enough that I almost picked it.

My brother and I have gotten so into this at this point. Like, we're texting each other battle plans about hunts we're going to do this weekend and discussing builds in MH games we aren't even playing. It's got us hooked. I'm having a ton of fun.

Babby's first half marathon
Babby's first green beer

My race was postponed due to pouring rain.
Which is probably sensible. I did not particularly want to do a half marathon in the rain.
But also I got rain gear yesterday and I was so ready for it.
So, you know.
Annoying.

A member of one of the lead's polycule is so fun to write, every time she's in the story I just want to write a whole spin-off about her and her husband and their kids and stuff.
Which is likely a poor idea.
But I love her.

To be honest, the other thing playing MHW does to me is make me go "there's gotta be tons of obscenely cute art of these monsters out there in furry land somewhere, I wonder how I can get tapped into that and see some rad Tobi-Kadachi art or something."

I've been really enjoying playing Monster Hunter World with my brother, and so I'm all "Maybe I should get Generations on Switch!!!!" but let's be honest, I'll be lucky to finish all the content in World, and all the tweaks and things to make it more accessible will be missing in Generations. I should just enjoy what I got and be good.

*gets a paper for online tutoring with the file name "ManMadeCausesSinholes"*
Me: Woah, Sinholes? Is this really school appropriate? But sounds like a potentially interesting read! I have to see what's up with this.
*Opens file, it's an essay about sinkholes, it was a typo*
Well, now I'm just disappointed.

I decide to watch more anime and then I just immediately watch the worst trash. I'm cool like that.

Anyway, my thought on this series is that it must be incredibly difficult to be an effective literary editor when you're so very submissive and masochistic, as someone who's done a little of that.

Went to a committee meeting, and the student head of the LGBTQ club was there and just making shit happen.
Always pleases me when students refuse to sit back and fight for themselves and those after them. Makes me feel like the future has hope.

My Children

Just wanna, like, lay down and cry at someone about my dragons.
My dragons are very good, please love them like I love them thank you.

Can't watch the direct yet, but I loved Sun and Moon's story a lot, so I really hope they expand on that more in this one. It was the first Mainline Pokemon where I remember caring about the characters... more of that please.
And more cute outfits, thank you.

This game is better than the old Advance Wars in basically every way, except I miss the CO power themes. Using your Groove just doesn't feel as monumental an event as popping off a Hyper Repair or whatever when it hits that power theme.

The only reason I hate the gym is they always have Fox News on.
Watching a "brave" transphobic teen being interviewed for fighting against trans people being able to play and enjoy sports sure does douse my excitement about lifting and doing athlete things this morning.
This country is so bad.
