Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Smut Lovers is resetting my expectations of how a book con should treat its authors. I have never been at an event that has taken care of their authors this well. 220
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Four hour layover, and now the flight has been delayed two hours. Boooooooo. 110
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 01/09/2026It’s a good thing Bi Visibility Month is in September. Can you imagine being perceived in July? While drowning in my own sweat and wearing clothes I am too pale for? Though would the council consider moving to October? 010
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Fun Fact for the Day: A graveyard is attached to a church or place of worship. A cemetery is not. Brought to you by research for the spicy ghost hunter stories. 030
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I saw this Reddit thread titled, "I think Yuri needs glasses." And my first thought was, "dude, there are definitely yuri characters who wear glasses." They meant Yuri from Coral Island. I've been writing smut too long. 000
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Looking up Christian apocrypha for the ghosty romance project and it is a fascinating journey, let me tell you. Today we’re exploring gnostic cults and the Gospel of Eve. 010
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Sometimes in the face of AI, society’s disregard for creatives, the economy, etc., I think about giving up. And then I think about Megan, and her vindictive 1 star review. I can’t quit writing until I have rubbed Megan‘s face in how she’s wrong. Metaphorically, because I don’t know who Megan is. 030
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I'm going to go buy a copy of Daggermouth and try to stave off a growing sense of despair. 010
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 22/07/2026So I drove through Appalachia, during a thunderstorm, and now I am convincing Tallis we want to write spicy ghost paranormal romance set in small towns in the hollers. I’ve got four novellas planned. 020
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 21/07/2026I had someone text me offering editing services. Actual text, to my phone number, and they did not address my pen name. They used my real name. This is so many levels of not OK. 030
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Me: I’m just saying, I think I should have a hit bonus for kicking the horseman in the crotch because the target is bigger. GM: No. 000
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 25/06/2026I mean... didn't everybody have a mermaid phase? Or is this another one of those things you learn later in life, like not every woman thinks other women are hot? 122
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 27/05/2026I need someone from Australia to tell me whether or not your ice cream trucks play Greensleeves. Based on a Randy Feltface sketch and Go-Jo‘s Milkshake Man, I think they do. And it will bother me until someone confirms this. 000
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Tallis handed me some prints so I could store them safely and called me the "curator of our little art museum," and this made me happier than one might expect. 000
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Lemonade and fruit infused vodkas. Though I also just like to go to bars and order their fancy, fruity seasonal cocktails. 000
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 24/05/2026I DID IT! The edit is done! Sure, it’s still 150K words, but it’s alpha reader time, bay-beeeeee! Commence the butt wiggling happy dance! 020
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 16/05/2026Tallis, playing Helldivers, when a team member threw a grenade: “Did you get it in?” Me, an intellectual: “That’s what she said.” 040
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 10/05/2026Hey, I don’t know who needs to hear this, but 3D printed objects made from PLA are not for internal use. They are porous. They are fragile. Just…no. 130
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 20/04/2026Dear [REDACTED], I deeply hate how much you and your angry one star review continue to live rent free in my head. 120
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 01/04/2026I called the next WIP Space Pirates IV: A New 🐓 and now Tallis is telling me I’m a bad person who should feel bad, but OBVIOUSLY that was hilarious and he’s just jealous I thought of it first. 000
Reposted by Clea SalarScarlet Lee Winters @luxindulgences.bsky.social · 27/03/2026I need money for computer repairs. It broke unexpectedly last month and I'm a disabled writer. Any and all help is appreciated! www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/...paypal.comFor computer repairs 086
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Um, yes, guilty, that was not the first thing I thought of either. 020
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 24/03/2026From SP3: "So what says 'I know I broke your heart but I still think you're hot, a good person, and might never have stopped having feelings for you,'" she muttered to herself as she flipped through her shirts. "Hmm. Maybe this one." 000
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 19/03/2026So the space pirates storyline is current slated for 4 novels. But maybe, just maybe, it should have more... I should probably run this by Tallis. 030
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 10/03/2026Sometimes I know exactly what I want to name a WIP, it just pops into my head. And sometimes we get lists like this: Space Pirates 1 Space Pirates 2: Galactic Boogaloo Space Pirates 3: Space Harder 030
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Babes, tell me who your characters are, not who they aren’t. Tell me what your book is, not what it isn’t. Show me how you celebrate yourself, not how you compare yourself to others. 010
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I'm just gonna go hyperventilate for the rest of the week, it's cool. 020
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 27/02/2026I love the idea of fated mates, instinctual attraction, all that. But I keep finding stories where the woman has no agency, is often horrifically abused by her family, the setting is painfully patriarchal, and I just can't. So I guess I'm gonna make my own. Hmmm... 351
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 27/02/2026Me: I just need an idea of where human space meets alien space. Tallis: Hang on, I'm downloading a 7G interactive galactic map. Me: ... I feel like we're getting really crunchy for a smutty story. Tallis: You can't avoid the crunch. 240
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 26/02/2026This is straight up an anti-trans bill, but I am extra angry that we have all those files that no one is doing anything with, for people who are provably a danger to children, but Rep. Mary Miller and 16 other Republicans are wasting our time and money on this nonsense. bookriot.com/hr7661-book-...bookriot.comA Nationwide Book Ban Bill Has Been Introduced in the House of RepresentativesHours after the State of the Union address, House republicans introduced legislation banning LGBTQ+ books from public schools nationwide. 012

Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 06/02/2026They got here early! And they look so good! 020
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 02/02/2026So Tallis just turned the sci-fi story we’re working on into at least three books, with multiple casts. And it’s such a good idea. Dammit. 030

Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 18/01/2026Rep Troy Nehls from TX has given us the sage advice of, "If you comply, you will not die." THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE KILLING PEOPLE, TROY. YOU TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE OF A MEDIOCRE WHITE MAN. This dystopian bullshit is wild. 020
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Since I finally finished the website, I have filled out interest forms for two indie bookstores and the Smut Lovers conference, all while ignoring the voice in my head that kept telling me not to bother because I am not popular enough. Please clap. 160
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 13/01/2026It took entirely too long, but I finally finished the website. Mostly. Yeah, the anthology section is a bit lacking on text but it has links and pictures. salarstories.comsalarstories.comSalar StoriesOpen door science fiction and fantasy romance. 162
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 09/01/2026What was that? @ubisoft.com never wants us to give them money ever again? Okay, cool. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...pcgamer.comUbisoft closes its recently-unionized Halifax studio, says it's not because of the unionizingUbisoft said it made the "difficult decision" in an effort to "streamline operations, improve efficiency, and reduce costs." 030
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 20/12/2025Tallis and I published two books this year. We finished writing two more, along with at least three short stories (I might be forgetting one). So if my brain could please accept that as an accomplishment and let me rest until the new year, that would be great. 131
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 15/12/2025Bb, stop feeding the trolls. If sadsack67 with 23 followers and no profile picture said something that made you incandescent with rage and you can’t let it go, then take a screenshot and make your own post. Don’t comment, don’t quote. 010

Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 06/12/2025Bugs Bunny is a trickster god, and therefore gender is meaningless. Though also, I hope someone who is still on Twitter responded to this with "They're going to make your mom gay." 040
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 16/11/2025I have seen two Astarion cosplays this weekend, both by people on the shorter side, posing the question of what would Astarion have been like if he were just a little guy? 000
Clea Salar @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social · 15/11/2025I had a lovely reader interaction today that ended with me not making the sale. Because I realized quickly that the types of books I wrote were not what she was looking for. She was understanding, and we had a nice little chat. She was so sweet, and didn’t berate me for not writing what she liked. 010
