Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be supportive. Say stuff like, “Nice battling, dude.”

We’re going to have to shut down the country. I don’t think we have any other choice at this point. We need to buckle up, dig in our heels, and band together as communities to take care of each other.

One of the worst things about being autistic is when your cat wants to cuddle but you’re having a touch averse night

Reminded tonight of the critique I gave of a cover of “Do I Wanna Know?” by Arctic Monkeys. And how everyone looked at me weird for saying it didn’t have the same passionate desperation as the original. Like I know I’m weird but how do other people listen to music?

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Nobody has a bigger persecution complex than Evangelical Christians. Had to listen to a fellow bus passenger singing about how the “church ain’t going nowhere’ and my first thought was… Yeah. We know.

One of our neighborhood stray cats comes in my house for warmth and to rest his old bones. And right now he’s lying next to me, purring and making biscuits. There’s a special kind of happiness that brings me.

So what are we all doing for TikTok-esque content now that the platform might be well and truly dead. This question brought to you by book marketing, and the love of ASMR livestreams and short format videos.

Man I gave so much nightmare fuel on my social media platforms - and for good reason! But here’s me tempted to use Bluesky to just be a weirdo smut writer and pretend the rest of the world isn’t burning.

It’s instant entertainment when your lesbian cat stalks the other cat she’s obsessed with, determined to win her love despite constant rebuffs. And behind them trails the male tabby because he wants to watch the drama unfold.

Guh. I hate when extreme emotions, even positive ones, disregulate my nervous system and make it so I barely sleep. Please don’t come at me with neurodivergence being a super power today. I’m liable to inflict damage.

Look I’m not saying Cory Booker is the inspiration that has creativity pouring out of my head at 2 AM. But I’m not NOT saying it either. There’s a profound sense of harmony in the world that I’m going to relish as long as it lasts.

Dear Therapist, See I meant to get better sleep this week, but then someone on TikTok posted a song I haven’t heard since the 90s and I could still sing the refrain so I had to keep replaying it, which led me down a rabbit hole of 90s music and… and… and… … and then it was 2 AM.

My 19 Year Old (about Kendrick Lamar): I don’t know what it is, but his voice scratches my brain. In AuDHD, not only is this 100% accurate, it’s also a huge compliment.

Reading German history is especially chilling right now. Doing research on the Nuremberg Laws for this story and man, if there aren’t some real echoes in all of this.

Update: Found a good plot that not only allows for romance but gives a good excuse for a vampire to go Inglorious Basterds on some nahtzees. I have a feeling by the end of the year I’m going to have a few of these.

Connor Peterson 🏳️‍🌈 @authorconnorpeterson.com · 26/02/2025

The angrier I get at reality, the more my muse wants to write the most aggressive batshit stuff ever. Let’s see if I can concoct another story where vampires off a bunch of nahtzees.

Okay, this new short story is way, way, way too dark for its intended purpose, so I’ll have to brainstorm something more appropriate afterward. In the meantime, I’ll keep channeling Clive Barker.

Getting my dark romance slut on with this short story I’m writing. Not sure what pit of hell this is coming from but I’m already at 1k out of 10k. It’ll remain to be seen if I can actually use it for its intended purpose. 😅

Connor Peterson 🏳️‍🌈 @authorconnorpeterson.com · 14/02/2025

Had to write a story under 10k. Finished this one at 9.5k. Now I just have to do it again for a different anthology. 😂 For someone who learned how to write while reading a lot of Stephen King books, this level of brevity is Herculean.

Never be afraid to write your heart out. To write your ass off. To write until your hands cramp. Because when you look back at the miles of ink behind you you might just have a masterpiece.

This 10k word story has yet to go off the rails. And I’m pretty sure I have a bead on the plot. Of course, my muse couldn’t help but to include a small morsel I can expand upon in another story, though. Because of course it did.

I swear I’m an author of smutty vampire books and not merely a political activist. God, I so desperately want to go back to writing silly little stories and not having to fight for my life.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at cdcguidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

That moment when you’re looking at your publishing deadlines and realize one of them is coming up faster than you anticipated.
