Pan Whitesell (they/them)

In Symphony, my debut novel, a queer connection electrifies the life of a lonely composer, inspiring a revolutionary piece.

Brilliant and hurting, Eleanor fears she’ll never finish her symphony. Meeting the fascinating Lucy gives her the confidence to write a revolutionary piece. But will Eleanor have to choose between her greatest creation and the woman who inspired it? #PitMad #A #LF #LGBT

I'm truly confused about how many people are either afraid of me or don't like me because I'm #trans. I mean, like, --shrug-- they could solve that for yourselves...

On principle I love anyone who can sincerely say "I love you" back (or equivalent gesture for those who cannot), though this is not an exclusive list!

Am I the only one who sees a strong correlation between people who deny #trans identity and people who prefer holding on to pain to admitting they would like to heal?

Difficult things take work. Using correct pronouns isn't actually a difficult thing. But if it takes work, I accept. Off you go to work. #translife #enbylife #theythem

Taught a family member the history of they/them pronouns. They argued that it wasn’t proper English. For reference, the poem William and the Werewolf uses singular they circa 1375. Help trans people feel comfortable. Don't make us cite Werewolf Lit. #trans #enbylife #pronouns

I take fantastic pics when the lighting's right (not a pro photographer, just have a good phone camera.) Not sure that they’re each worth 1000 words. But more than 240 characters, at least. Tempted to write a novel in 100 photos. Has this been done? #writingcommunity #amwriting

Symphony of the Week is back!

Scriabin was one of the more polarizing Russian composers. His Symphony no. 2 (1901) marked the end of his Romantic period and his turn toward representing the occult in music.

Why is it that my characters react in meaningful ways to grief and I just act and feel like a robot? #writingcommunity

Do you know what your next project is going to be? I’m hoping to deal very closely with my own gender identity journey in one of my next undertakings. We shall see! #amwriting #writingcommunity #writinglife #lesfic #queerlit #readqueer #lgbtbooks #writelgbtq #lgbt #composerlife
