Hope I’m not too late for this BUT: -I was born during a blizzard -I like RPGs with my favorite being FF9 and SMT (hard to pick one) -I one time dressed up as Patrick Bateman from American Psycho from the “Hip To Be Square” scene for an event at my job #SpoonieAuthChat #WriteSky

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is nothing. Like literally nothing. Just sit down, eat some yummy food, and do jack shit. #selfcare

Still one if not the best short of Love Death and Robots season 1. A must watch for anyone who creates.

Sometimes you just gotta read a mass market romance book your mom or grandma would read.

Gentle reminder but everytime you say “It’s cheaper on Amazon” THIS is what you’re supporting. Go to your local library and if you want to own the book, go to a bookstore(preferably local)! #booksky

I’m sorry but come someone tell me where this whole “if you have your villain doing bad things, you condone those actions” thing came from? Because when my next book drops, you’re gonna hate the antagonist for what he does in this one. 😶 #booksky

Look, as much as I love seeing Nic Cage punching people in a bear suit, the original 1973 movie is a pretty decent folk horror/ mystery movie. Go watch it if you can.

Is it bad I thought the movie Wicker was gonna be a prequel to The Wicker Man? More specifically the 1973 movie? 😶

Okay thank you for reading, as a bonus: here’s MC1 from an animatic that’ll be dropping to announce the plot of the book all that other fun stuff when it’s time.
Image of a man with a blonde hair looking distressed. He’s going to be looking like this for a good chunk of the book and you’ll find out his name later.

Like. Hell, MC2 is based off his personal preferences of fictional guys! So, before anyone asks before it gets announced: I DID NOT based this off of Dark Romances or Haunting Adeline, this is based off of tropes that one of my friends likes.

And as we cut back to me, here I am having a book edited that I honestly feel like is gonna get accused of piggybacking off of the hype and such from this, when I’m not, I think that book is disgusting and I based it off of tropes that one of my closest friends-

From someone who was around when 50 Shades Of Grey was released and got its adaption. And I’m not saying it shouldn’t happen because of the fact that it might be bad, I’m talking about it’s contents. This is going to cause a lot of harm, pain and misery if this comes out.

Haunting Adeline, a book that should be in the HORROR section and not the romance section, is getting a movie with all the crazy, messed up shit that happens in it. Side note: this book should NOT be adapted, AT ALL. This is going to end up hurting a lot of people in the long run and this is coming-

Now before anyone comes after me, I started and finished writing this before I started using TikTok regularly and had no idea what was popular on Booktok and, hell, even before Dark Romance became the only thing Booktok was known for. So imagine my shock when as my new release is being edited-

Honestly this everything that going on with everything going on with Haunting Adeline, I’m so tempted to cancel my next book seeing that one Main Character 2 just up and Kidnaps Main Character 1 and MC2 kinda fits the tropes seen in Dark Romances. 🧵 #booksky

Also please try to read something. If you’re illiterate, you’re more easy to be taken advantage of by your oppressors who want you stupid and blindly following what they want. Don’t be dumb, dammit.

In honor of Octavia E. Butler’s birthday, who is one of my inspirations as a black sci-fi author, please take the time to read one of her books, start one of her series or indulge in one her short stories. Thank you. 💙 💫 (Also please read the Lilith’s Brood trilogy, it’s so good) #booksky

Hey so sorry for the radio silence. I’m not dead, writing takes time especially when writer’s block rears its ugly head. I’m still writing, just don’t have anything to show yet.

NASA just dropped 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. Too many to add to ArtemisTimeline.com, so I just put up a tool at ArtemisTimeline.com/vote so that people can vote on small batches allowing for all of the images to be sorted! (yes, I posted this before, but I had to fix something!)

I have no prank for today. And while I have one in mind, it won’t be until later in the future. So, it’s going to be premeditated. That’s your only warning.

Let’s not forget what Ursula K. Le Guin had to say about JKR and Harry Potter.
Remember when Ursula K. Le Guin savaged J.K. Rowling in a 2004 Guardian interview?

“I have no great opinion of [JK Rowling’s writing style]. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a ‘school novel’, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.”
