Coffee, conchas, and signs to hold up for pictures. Really makes me wish I'd written romance instead of fantasy.

Hearts pump lots of blood, Iron Lung has lots of blood, seems like a perfect date movie to me! I'm really glad we were able to see it in the theater. It was beautiful, disturbing, and one of my top favorite horror movies now.15 Feb 2026 01:01 +0000at://did:plc:dbrvcgqtsk65b3mqh574yyk7/app.bsky.feed.post/3meudla2x722fhttps://bsky.app/profile/tamchronin.com/post/3mdbta553mk2eThe worst parts of trauma and grief are the stunning mundanity of the world grinding on as usual while your world has been utterly destroyed.25 Jan 2026 22:56 +0000at://did:plc:dbrvcgqtsk65b3mqh574yyk7/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdbta553mk2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/tamchronin.com/post/3md46ycvwgs2mI live in Phoenix, and we're expecting rain.

I'm having an impossible time with this book. It's a jumbled mess right now. I wanna write faeries, pirates, and vampires. Not wizards. But I also wanna finish this series.

We survived another trip around the sun, and might make it through this one. May the new year treat you kindly and be full of happy moments and relief from stress and the insanity that seems to have hit so many of us last year.
