I am up on current online trends and lingo just well enough that it amuses my 16 year old. Tonight she said, "You LARP Gen Z." Reader, I am so proud. 🤣🤣

Working on the barbershop quartet romance is just such a joy. I have geeky little references and Easter eggs to barbershop culture and history everywhere and they make me happy. I hope someone reads it and gets some of them.

Y'all. I'm writing. Daily. I'm 14,500 words into writing an ACTUAL BOOK. Do I want to pursue trad publication again? I mean, probably yeah, but I want to have a clearer road map of what type of writing career I want. But first, finish this book. (But I'm scribbling notes for others, OMG!)

And I was raised in New England. I know that I was taught in elementary school that the Bad Folks in the South wanted to continue slavery so all the Good Folks in the North fought them over it, but if you're older than 9 & that is still the framework you're bringing to politics, we have issues.

This mass courtship event typically marks the beginning of Waymo mating season, and the general public is advised to avoid approaching them or their young and maintaining a safe distance at all times as they can get even more unpredictable in their behaviour towards humans at this time

This seems bad. The new counterterrorism strategy from the WH specifically says it will "prioritize the rapid identification and neutralization of violent secular political groups whose ideology is anti-American, radically pro-transgender, and anarchist." www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

The number of people I went to high school (class of '89) and college with who later came out as queer (including me) is honestly shocking. We were all there. We were either closeted or hadn't realized who we were yet--because that level of exploration wasn't discussed at all.

This newsletter's been knocking around in my head for a while, thanks to the changing tides in #Romancelandia and how writing increasingly seems like the least important part of the process. Nowhere is that more obvious than in sex scenes. romancing-the-stoned.beehiiv.com/p/no-f-ck-is...

So soft and fluffy! I think I might have over proofed it a little, but it rose so stinking fast. Will definitely make again, partly because I think if I don't the family will hound me.

My high school kid does virtual school so I work with her, and it's sometimes startling how many things I learned in school are now known to be wrong, especially in sciences. I feel like there could be generational classes like: "GenX: Here Are All the Things You Were Taught That Are Now Wrong"

It’s the end of the month, and I’d love to get a few more 35-cent royalty earnings in! These erotic stories all feature messy South Asian women. They’re varying degrees of queer. Low on plot, somewhat high on pot.

Y'all, I've written 2500 words today. I can't remember when I wrote this much in a single day. Back before the pandemic, at least. That said, I'm not keeping track on that front nor am I planning very much. I gotta sneak up on this thing so I don't scare it away. #writing #romance

Book rec request for #romancelandia! I usually read (and have written) higher heat books, but I want to branch out. Not looking for sweet romance, just maybe closed door or overall lower heat level. Contemporary and humorous preferred. Thanks, y'all are the best!
