[donde-quedo-mi-corazon]

Sigues escribiendo una historia difícil de publicar porque los sentimientos que ahí reflejarán son sentimientos que son difíciles de alcanzar. Difíciles de masticar. Sentimientos que te llevan a pensar en cosas que parecieran experimentar sueños de cosas irrelevantes que puedan pasar y te sientas en algún rincón a querer poner en orden esos sentimientos que ahí expresados están pero que resultan difíciles de identificar y más aún resultan mucho más difíciles de aceptar. | You continue writing a story difficult to punish because the emotions there reflect the emotions that are difficult to reach. Difficult to chew. Emotions that bring you towards thinking about things that seem to be dreams of irrelevant things that could happen and you feel the need to put order to these feelings that are expressed there in that corner, but they are difficult to identify and more so, are more difficult to accept.

Thinking about the post that says "Congratulations! You've fallen for that character's facade" but it's about how Ginger Fitzgerald and Jennifer Check's relationship to monsterhood is misinterpreted as a #FemaleRage and #GoodForHer girlboss power fantasy instead of tragedies about about kids way over their heads surviving a traumatic assault that robbed them of their humanity and now lash out in a desperately grip for some resemblence of power.

HAPPY 1 YEAR JACKRABBIT BRUJO!!!

That's right! One year ago I released my book! It's been a whirlwind and immensely surreal, but here's what's going on since that time frame:

Physical editions are in the works, and should be out by early next year-ish! I'm fortunate enough to go through a local brick and mortar bookshop/publisher

Relatedly, though it'd be a year from now I'm working on setting up an author event at said bookshop/publisher

Book! 2! The first draft is almost finished at 50k/estimated 65k words! Will be available digitally first before physically

Despite these advancements, I'm still an extremely independent author/publisher, the book is written/edited/cover illustrated all by me. Though wrapped in a magical realism murder mystery, Jackrabbit Brujo is a deeply personal exploration of mixed culture and grief set in Tucson, Arizona through the lens of its mixed Mexican-American protagonist Vel and Hmong-American Shoua.

You can read some reviews on Barnes and Noble, but the best way to support me is through my Ko-Fi Shop! I am currently still part-time so any support is really welcome ;-;

blows my mind there's not even a Chinese coven in The Twilight Saga. no Indian coven. only ONE coven in the Middle East/Africa: EGYPTIAN. no Greek coven, no Iranian coven, no Afghan coven, no Ethiopian coven, no Nigerian coven; FUCK ancient civilizations i guess! no one in South or Central America but the AMAZONS???? for real?????? the POTENTIAL to incorporate LEGENDS and HISTORY and CULTURE — wasted! i CANNOT with this author thinking the only vampire civilizations exist in Europe & America!! fuck off directly into the sun!!!

Seeing characters in romance stories just jetting between countries at a moment's notice with no thought for visa; seeing airports as sites of triumphant climaxes and romantic denouements instead of places of fear and danger where a sword hangs above your head— it all breaks off little pieces of my heart. They're constant reminders that my people will never be human enough in the colonial world order to be allowed to move freely around it. No matter what your race, those non-refugees living in the Global North will never understand what it's like to be part of a global ghetto where your passport is nothing but a trembling supplication and humiliation.

this is the most important piece of writing in the world to me. (from the house on mango street by sandra cisneros)

Sometimes I wonder if in hindsight I made a mistake by reading Mexican Gothic first because so far Silvia Moreno-Garcia's other books have yet to compare to the pure fascination, revulsion, anxiety, excitement, and absolute love that book inspired in me. Like, did I just start with the absolute peak of this author's talents and spoil the rest of her body of work for myself? The other stuff I've read from her isn't even close to bad, more like above average to good...it's just not been the lightning in a bottle that was Mexican Gothic for me thus far.

I kinda hate existing.. Anyways, new OCS!! Yay!!! I am OCmaxxing!!!! 💗💗 here's some info on em!!

XANDER ROGER

- he's a famous author who's in his 40s-60s! But he despises his fans AND readers..

- he had like 6 wives, he's currently single now

- he tends to forget to take care of himself because of work

- he always wears sunglasses! Mainly coloured ones

- he's very intimidating, he's a grumpy dude but mainly cuz he's tired and annoyed-

- he can get verbally abusive (but he would NEVER hit anyone)

- he writes his works with a typewriter because he hates most modern technology 😭

- he thinks Miu is pretty annoying but as much he hates to admit it.. He enjoys her company and somewhat sees her as a daughter figure? But he tries pushing that thought away

- he usually goes to book festivals and conventions to sign books

hey @ my remaining rebelcaptain mutuals, i have a weird literary ask: I need a book modern!Cassian (TWTaS) owns but has never read. He's using it as long-term hiding space for some papers but I kind of want something that makes sense for him to have anyway. Probably a Spanish-language book since he would have had it since at least his early twenties? But he was learning English, so I could also make that work, as long as it was published before 2006-ish. Would love something that fits thematically. But also if it's out of character enough, it could be funny. (If it fits thematically for Jyn, that could also work!)

"Without a doubt the best work on the Second Mexican Empire ever produced in English. Jonas maintains narrative momentum even as he provides serious analysis, moving with equal dexterity through the complications of court politics in different European states, church-state relations in Mexico, and the battlefields in which men of different origins killed each other in pursuit of their personal ambitions and ideological passions."
