Cayotica

I'm getting ready to re-publish all the old drafts I have tucked away, so any that were fans of my writing looong ago can read them again. So if you see a dump of publishing, I apologize in advance. Working on getting some things sorted, and hopefully we'll start getting some more updates on new stories this fall, as well as some older ones :)

Hey everyone! It's been a while. A brand new chapter of my sapphic werewolf romance, Gift of the Goddess, is out later today! I hope you had a great weekend and a wonderful week!

If anyone is participating in NaNoWriMo this year, come join me at my twitch stream! https://www.twitch.tv/cayotica I hold daily streams from 7 - 10 p.m. Pacific Time and I'll be streaming every day of the week this month (except for Fridays) We also have occasional giveaways. Come hang out, get some inspiration, some words written, and your book done!

Hey everyone, It's been a minute I just wanted to give an update as I plan to be a bit more active in the future and hope to start posting some more work soon.
          
          A few years ago I got a full-time job as a writer for a regional newspaper. This unfortunately lead to me being unable to write my own stories consistently for a long time just due to the general strain of 8 hours of non-fiction writing a day, as well as maintaining a life and various other things. I dabbled in writing and art here and there, but nothing extensive. 
          
          However due to the pandemic, I found myself working from home and have managed to work through my slump and began streaming art and writing in November. I have a few new projects to share here as soon as I get a few chapters up and written. But if you're interested in my process and the things I work on, I stream writing and art in the evening, 5 days a week on my twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/cayotica
          
          If you're interested in joining my growing little community for writing/art help, inspiration, or general shenanigans, come join my discord! https://www.discord.gg/e45xgbv
          
          I can't wait to start posting more stories for all of you and I hope you've all been well! If you have any questions or comments, want to see something specific from me, or just want to share what you've been working on the past few years, please share it with me!

Wow! Thank you for adding "A Victorian Tale" to your current reading list! :)

@Tegan1311 I love that movie to death. One of those cases where I wish there were books it was based on, so that I could read them over and over again lol

@Tegan1311 Oh hey! Its like The PageMaster, but in reverse, instead of the protag getting sucked into the book, its horror genre and all those word and idea corpses come out of the book to seek revenge on the author that killed them. The book is called the Morgue and its where good ideas and words go when they're murdered.

          BOOO!!!!!  
          
          A "Boo of writing tips" refers to the ghostly remains of the all those words and phrases (even whole chapters) which were edited out and deleted. When you "kill your darlings," they can haunt you! 
          
          LOL!

@Tegan1311    Would a 'boo of writing tips' be the ghost of broken pencil lead? 
          
          @ChayAvalerias Thanks for the wonderful greeting!
