I think people need to make this comparison RIGHT NOW. Is Elon paying $300M to elect right wingers bc otherwise they'll denaturalize and deport him? Probably not, but if their voters learn he is, it might make the $$ creepy. [Tho I think people need to focus on the child porn Grok makes]

Oh my gaaaaaaaaad! I do this ALL the time because I don't want it to end? because I don't want to start edits? I don't know). But THIS time, I was very careful to plot out the entire thing.

That was a problem for future me, and now I am future me.

Staaaaaaaaap it, brain! I'm 75% through with my current manuscript, and I keep getting ideas for a smvtty off-shoot that would connect to an entirely different series in a different heat level, but I do NOT have time to write this.

It's time for this oldie but goodie again because I keep staying up stupidly late writing (because I've spent too long at work and/or doomscrolling).

Well. That sucks. My pre-order for "Masked Punishment" was cancelled because I didn't upload the file in time, even though I uploaded it two weeks ago so I wouldn't have to worry about it.

it's more like 10 days this time, but, man, it takes me sooooo long to get back in the swing of things once I've taken time off (even if that time "off" was doing revisions). Trying to get back on track the last few days has been painful even though I'm VERY excited about this project! #indieauthor

this was funnier when it was a little closer to hypothetical. but that dark sense of humor is load-bearing, so here we go! you should read some spicy romance or smvt to make the collapse, i mean, fall, a little more fun! i happen to have a bunch on Amazon! #indieauthor #authorlife

🌶 Last call for ARC readers - SPICY novella 🌶 "Masked Punishment" is the second novella in The Circle series of novellas about a masked s3x club for the elite. Melissande isn't prepared for the masked men at her door, but she wasn't the only one affected by their night together. #arcreaderswanted

trope list for "Masked Punishment"
He can't stop thinking about her, but...
- It was supposed to be about fun, hot anonymous sechs
- She snuck out while they were sleeping
- He tracks her down because he's obsessed
- He and his bestie share everything, even women
- ESPECIALLY women

How can he punish her for being everything he never knew he wanted?
How can he not?

It seems pretty obvious to ME that reading about other people's angsty love would lower stress, but in case you weren't sure, here's your proof. It's in a meme; it must be true! In case you don't already have an angsty love confession at hand, I recommend "The Roommate Promise" by Penny Heart!

President Obama killed al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. Donald Trump invited the Taliban to hang out at Camp David on 9/11, freed 5,000 of their elite fighters from prison, and tried to kill Mike Pence. We should never forget that.
