Smut 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.

It’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?

Fun 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.

I 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.

Looking 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.

Sometimes 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.

So 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.

I 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.

I 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?

I 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.

Tallis 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.

Tallis, playing Helldivers, when a team member threw a grenade: “Did you get it in?” Me, an intellectual: “That’s what she said.”

Hey, 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.

I 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.

From 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."

So 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.

Sometimes 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

Babes, 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.

It's okay! I'm laughing because I just did a deep dive for some aliens we made based loosely on bats, moths, and cats.

This is going to lead to another deep dive into animal mating behaviors until I find the right species and corresponding folk tales to work with.

Ooo, that is an idea. There's a good fairy tale element for it, things like swan maidens and what have you. Thank you, I shall ponder!

Should I make them not wolf shifters? Like I feel like maybe it's time for a new secret society. Not vampires, they don't work for this.

I 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...

Me: 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.

This 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-...

So 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.
