A2: Oh! I just realized a thing! I hate planning. No wonder I can’t answer these questions! LOL!!! Lookit me, just making it all up as I go along! #WeeknightWriters

I wish that were mine! I can’t remember where I heard it from. I know @februarygrace.bsky.social says a similar thing! #WeeknightWriters

A1: This question presumes I’m cleverer than I actually am. 😆 I typically come up with an idea for a book, then this character barges their way into the page, and I’m helpless to do anything but write the incident report. #WeeknightWriters

Hi, #WeeknightWriters! My name is 🐈, and I’m an award-winning alphabet arranger, mostly of works that star disabled protagonists. My #FirstDraftFall planning is mostly random thoughts, not written down. Home renovations this week, so really hard to concentrate. But hiiiii!

If I’m gonna be honest, which like, when am I not, my biggest goals are to turn off the noise of nasty people, hang only with awesome people, and truly get back to the love of writing. I’d love to finish the Iris and the Crew duology and get back to my ’Cosm series! #SpoonieAuthChat

I keep forgetting to register for those. Maybe now that I’m indie, I can’t?

When I feel worthless, I remind myself of this one fact: I’m Cait fucking Gordon. (May you remind yourself of your worth too.)

This is why I now use blister packs. Helps me stay organized just in case I’m called to offer my bow.

Right? I can’t imagine going back.

Yes! It really hurts for me to hold my hair up for even a short time. And the haircut I have now takes barely any time to style.

Cutting all my hair off my sides and the back has made my life so much easier. I have a chronic pain disability, and it’s also much quicker to do my hair every day. So, whatever your age, live your best hair life. Long, short, grey, dyed. 2/2

I just saw something on Facebook about how women over 50 “don’t have to have short hair.” But what if we like short hair? 1/2

Apparently, this is super common, particularly with folks who have chronic illnesses or disabilities. My mental health has always tanked this time of year!

I only found out myself this year! And I’ve been a disability advocate for ten years!

That makes sense. I’m getting mine in a few days. I’m just knocked out for other reasons, I reckon.

So sorry to read this. Gentle Jedi hugs. (No contact. Only Force hugs.)

I have no idea except that The October Slide is in full effect. That change of seasons that robs folks of their energy.

Is anyone else just exhausted? I am in spoon deficit.

Yeah, I get that! I might work on a novella.

Someone, probably: “Your disabled FMC does sexy things in a shower???” Me, definitely: “Why not? It’s an accessible shower.” books2read.com/hot-wings-and-sauciness #Disability #Romance

Paperbacks of Hot Wings and Sauciness. The cover features a white woman with short silver hair who is dressed in a hen costume, sitting down beside her rollator, and looking up, bored. There are three beautiful women cheering at the table behind her. Also behind her is a tall white man with silver hair, wearing an orange and grey uniform, holding a drink, and trying not to laugh at her.

A stack of my books and the text: Supporting your local Indie bookshops is HOT!

Do you author humans ever get the post-publishing blues? Like, so much buildup, then you just feel a little down afterwards? #WriteSky

I think I’ve been interested in storytellers and storytelling since I was first encouraged to use my imagination! So, like forever! #SpoonieAuthChat

I’m thinking about meme ideas and puns! (It makes sense, trust me.) #FirstDraftFall

It really helps! I couldn’t draw for years, and it made me so sad. Then I got Procreate and an Apple Pencil. I drew the characters and ship on the cover of Iris and the Crew Tear Through Space, and all the episode illustrations inside! My publisher encouraged me!

1. I’m a musician (bass, drums) and singer! 2. I absolutely love making all kinds of crafts! (I even call baking “food crafts.”) 3. I’m been drawing since I was a kid! Now I mostly draw digitally because a stylus is easier on my arthritis and fibro! #SpoonieAuthChat

#FirstDraftFall I tend to just dive in once I have a certain idea about a protagonist’s identity, interests, motivations, and how they’ll contribute to a plot. Then they basically tell me I have no clue what I’m in for and writes the rest of the book for me. 😳

New glasses! And gots my hairs did earlier this week.

My hair is silver and cropped really short on the sides and in the back. I’ve got pale peachy-pink skin. My glasses have pale pink frames and transition lenses that are slightly dark

She’s a neurosaucy technician. He’s a hot space captain. And they have the meet-awkward of the 25th century! Hot Wings and Sauciness, my romance innn spaaace, is available now in ebook and paperback. It’s also on KoboPlus! #SpoonieAuthChat books2read.com/hot-wings-and-sauciness

Book cover description: Brown background with coloured smoke. A white man with silver hair who is wearing a flight suit with wings on the shoulders is trying not to laugh at a woman with short grey hair who is sitting, looking bored, and wearing a chicken costume. On the table is a sign that reads: All you can eat at Coq of the walk! Behind her are three beautiful women who are dressed like models, standing at another table that has a large wings basket on it.
