planning to make my return to substack & newsletters very soon but in the meantime, the start of latinx heritage month is a great excuse to read what is maybe my best and most important piece on substack jcondenunez.substack.com/p/how-it-fee...

jcondenunez.substack.com

How it feels to be a Mexican-American “Diversity Scholarship” awardee at a writing conference when it's a dangerous time to be Latinx in the U.S.

typing on a computer is a challenge for me right now due to medical reasons (healing but it's taking long) so I'm planning to do my next newsletter as a video in lieu of writing comment below with questions for me about writing, my books/wips, or any hot takes you want to hear me yap about 😂

judging how 'fans' are reacting to the new rogue casting and how even a rando here put me on a blocklist a while ago after seeing my 'woke' pitch for my book that I comp as x-men meets bridgerton w/mexican mc's...I think I have great chances of selling my book through publicity of yt man tears alone

Happy Pride! 🌈 Friendly reminder that the first story I got published in a mag was a queer sapphic YA story 🖤 and I will continue to incorporate my queerness in my writing projects no matter how 'unmarketable' queer stories are (and especially stories about queer BIPOC characters) ✌🏼

It's been a minute but here are #wipsnips from Project Black Widow 🕷💋 which I will soon be querying

“Do you have some sort of illness?” Luis asked.
Maybe Aranea didn’t have to tell him the truth. After all, an illness was more believable than a curse.
“Yes, I am ill,” she lied. “And it’s incurable.”
Luis frowned, eyes softening on Aranea. “If it’s something I can help with…”
“You can’t. No one can. And this illness makes it impossible for me to have a normal marriage and children...things every woman is supposed to achieve in her lifetime.”
“Does this mean… Is it a terminal illness?”
Hearing how quietly Luis asked this and seeing the pain in his eyes, Aranea’s eyes widened in shock. “Oh, no, nothing like that! It just makes my life a bit difficult.”
Luis breathed out in relief. “Oh, good. Of course, I’m sorry you’re dealing with something awful like that. You could have said so from the beginning, Aranea.”
Aranea’s heart twisted. What she just told Luis was a lie.

My favorite lines I wrote in 2025 💐 Let me know which one is your favorite in the comments! And see you in 2026...I’ll be drafting something completely new and I can't wait to see what quotes I’ll have for you by next New Year's Eve 🖤 #writingcommunity #booksky #horror #histfic #fantasy #romance

"Every time I'm with you like this...it happens. Time stops. It ceases to exist altogether."
Adrian kept a hand on Ehren's neck as she leaned on the tips of her toes and closed the distance between them with a tender kiss.
Ehren couldn't help letting out a soft gasp, shocked by how warm and exquisite Adrian's lips felt against his, like the first flash of the sun in his eyes after having been in the dark for too long. Beautiful. Piercing. And too much to bear.

The Blood of a Divine (new lines from my latest full revision)

My old heart was a beautiful, fragile thing— bigger than I thought it was—
and I saw it for the first time after she dug her nails into my flesh,
clutched it into her hand,
tore it from my breast,
and ran.

She left me with an empty, gaping wound in my chest.
But still, I breathe.
Still, Ilive.

But am I still complete without a heart?

Is it gone forever?
Or will a new heart grow in the old one's place?
Will the ravaged strings of tissue and muscle act as roots and regrow a heart
if I nourish this gaping hole with water and sunlight?

How to Regrow a Heart
(a poem I'm not sure will ever find a home)

Anamaria listened closely to Seth's breath, waiting until it got deeper and turned into a light snore before she crawled out from under the bed. She could kill Seth in the dark, but Anamaria wanted him to see her as she cut his heart out—to witness the failure of his crime.
She took a match and lit the candle, illuminating Seth in golden light. His eyes barely stirred beneath his eyelids, soft strands of black hair curling over his forehead, his pink lips pulled into a frown, and his suntanned face framed by an elegantly shaved beard. He was so beautiful to Anamaria, even now-and she hated him for it.

With the obsidian knife clutched in her right hand, Anamaria lifted her skirt and climbed onto Seth's bed, straddling his hips as she settled on her knees.

Love Devouring Death
(A weird west short story pitched as Romeo & Juliet meets Mexican mythological horror. Rejected from an anthology and still looking for a home)

"Aranea, the last thing I would ever want ta to do is hurt you. But if I have...please let me take those tears from your eyes." Luis closed the distance between himself and Aranea, gently taking her hand from her face. Aranea gazed up at Luis with tears still in her eyes, but she didn't flinch or move away. Luis gave her a soft smile as he raised his bare hand and brushed a thumb across Aranea's soft, tear-stained cheek, just underneath her dark eyelashes.

"Luis... NO!"

As Aranea screamed, the breath in Luis' lungs became choked, and the veins in his face pulsed, stung, and burned. But he couldn't shout-because he couldn't breathe. He could barely see as multiple black spots filled his vision, and every muscle in his body was suddenly sapped of strength. Luis felt as paralyzed as stone, every nerve and tendon in his body tight, as if he were being squeezed, stretched, and torn apart from the inside all at the same time. Luis' heart had never beat so fast before in his life, and tears of panic streamed from his eyes, the only expression of unbearable pain and horror his body allowed him to release.

And then his world went black.

It appears as though SFWA has had a very quick change of heart and is now back on the right side of this. Shouldn't have happened in the first place. New Nebula Awards eligibility rules for generated text are now:

Previous Text:

“Works that are wholly written using generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible.”

New Text:

“Works that are written, either wholly or partially, by generative large language model (LLM) tools are not eligible.”

-and-

Previous Text:

“Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and the nature of the technology’s use will be made clear to voters on the final ballot”

New Text:

“Works that used LLMs at any point during the writing process must disclose this upon acceptance of the nomination, and those works will be disqualified.”

anyway, I took a bit of a break from bsky and I probably still won't be posting as often as I did before except to share fun things I make or share important announcements ✌🏼 last #wipwednesday on IG, since I mentioned it in a live chat, I shared a snippet of the most bisexual scene in TBOAD 💖💜💙

“Relax, Ehren. The key to dancing with a partner is all about subtle touch. Mathieu is leading, so when he presses forward on your hand, you step back…” Adrian pressed her fingers into Ehren’s hip and pulled him towards her, making his breath hitch at the warm, prickling sensation of her touch through his clothes. “And when he presses into your back, you step forward.”
Adrian had a hand over Mathieu’s, and Ehren felt both their combined pressures as he stepped forward, nearly brushing noses with Mathieu and feeling the young man’s wine-tinted breath on his lips. As novel as it was to touch another man like this, Ehren was even more stimulated by Adrian’s firm, but gentle, guiding touches and the way her voice sent soft vibrations down his neck as she whispered into his ear. With Mathieu at his front and Adrian at his back, both gentle and patient partners, they all moved together for a few measures of the music, and Ehren realized he was somehow successfully dancing a waltz.

also just hate that a lot of writers I connected with first on twitter chose threads over bsky so either way I still don't have my full community, and instagram is the best place to reach most of them--even though IG only seems to show my posts to like 10 people 💀

020

Jazmin Conde Nuñez @jcondenunez.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

So idk where I'll really land rn with my social media presence. instagram seems to be the most engaging platform as well as my newsletter, even if I still get <20 notes on most things. But I don't have a book to sell right now, so that's fine. I really miss my early days of writing twitter though :/

Jazmin Conde Nuñez @jcondenunez.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

I've been on threads for <1 week and I hate to report that it's much like bsky in the way that discoverability & connecting w/other writers is difficult...but it's not even fun. at least bsky still has writer hashtag events & people sharing snippets. over there it's just CONSTANT shade throwing.

Jazmin Conde Nuñez @jcondenunez.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Found this draft for a substack article that I completely forgot about all about why classic Historical Romance tropes still work today but what I've already written is pretty good. Maybe I'll get back to it after the new year 😊

The case for hand holding close ups and other victorian sensibilities

Jazmin Conde Nuñez @jcondenunez.bsky.social · 01/12/2025

so I’m not sure if I’ll keep posting on bsky anymore because it genuinely feels like a waste of my time and energy if literally no one following me sees or cares about what I post, but if you’re on IG I’m more active there and doing a live author chat today 😊 til then, peace out ✌🏼
