I did not predict, dear stranger, that you and I would be speaking this much about rape and pedophilia as we just...go on about our days. Like, this was a twist.

I read @ldlewiswrites.blacksky.app's The Fae Island Incident, 1892 from @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social l's Forged in FIYAH! anthology. She hits my weakness for complex worldbuilding with an emsemble cast. It's quite the balancing act.

It's "Type All That Up Day" where I take the drafting that has happened for 3 stories across 3 notebooks and put them in a digital document that can be delivered to my editors before they start yelling at me

A stack of stuff on a table: laptop, 2 mnemosyne spiral notebooks, a galen leather folio with a bunch of pens and another notebook in it, a pair of headphones, charging, and a cappuccino in a transparent mug

Ordered a replacement pen nib with some other stationery bits. Left it all in the box. Returned to the box to find that Mochi had plucked the nib out of its nest of apparently less delicious items and stole it away to her lair beneath the dining room table.

Book mail! I have 5 copies of FORGED IN FIYAH so 4 to give away. If you would like one and have not pre-ordered already (???) show me a receipt for a new $20+ donation to your favorite Black-owned/operated nonprofit in any sector and I'll send you one signed (at least by me) while supplies last.
