So uh... we was robbed! No really 😅 Couple scammers last night made off with a little cash, not even into triple figures, not a huge deal, we'll live. But my poor wonderful staff did not deserve that experience. So if you come by the shop this week, please be extra lovely to my people?

If I can write 1600+ words in a fugue state at 2am after a single interaction with a woman with a cute smile, you can stop using Claude and learn to code for yourself

When your timeline is filled with queer folks and brown/Black people singing the praises of and loudly mourning a 1940s-Tennessee-born white Boomer lady, welp. She was pretty goddamn extraordinary, you can assume.

#WIPSnips - "Panic" It does not at all surprise me that of the 4 instances of panic in #Heart-Taker, 3 come from Jasper's POV 😂 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
But it did make things difficult that Day was human. His initial panic had settled into a kind of low-grade fear, ticking along with the same intensity as the rice he now stirred through slick, spicy oil. Not scorching, but toasting slowly and surely… A fear that, one by one, Day would uncover what made them un-human - and what? Leave? Was that what he was worried about?

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica. 
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica. 
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

I wasn't lying about the outfit choice lol. Good session - finished one scene and got a few hundred words into the next #Heart-Taker
It turned out to be a cool day. A 30 degree drop overnight which had not picked up even with the morning sun. Day threw on yoga pants, a stretched cami and a first-time-around college sweatshirt, and curled into herself on the chaise lounge. Even fluffy socks couldn’t shake the chill she was feeling. A cold kind of sweat.

Fellow writers: w/o context, what's the first line of your current WIP? this is incredibly drafty b/c I'm just noodling on a story seed, but: "Yarrow stood ankle-deep in muck, purple beautyberry juice smeared behind her ears and seemingly oblivious to the mosquitoes drawn by the promise of blood."
