One of the hardest things about being an author is NOT TELLLING EVERYONE ALL THE COOL SHIT YOU HID IN YOUR BOOK BECAUSE YOU WANT PEOPLE TO DISCOVER IT THEMSELVES. But you are also really passionate about the shit you hid in your book.

Jack- Overnight quinoa with a nut/seed Power Blend on top, and yogurt with fruit. Coffee. Charlie- Ranges from nothing to cold leftover rice or dry cereal, to a breakfast burrito or pastry. Coffee. Steady- Oat toast fortified with mealworm protein, spread with a homemade mandarin marmalade. Tea.

Alt: A dark-haired Bowie stands in the corner of brick walls, wearing an elaborate coat and shirt with lace cuffs that resembles 18th century finery. He wears a large spider-shaped broach and has his finger to his lips in a thoughtful pose. This is a Mephistopheles costume inspired by Faust opera.

I dont know if its a solid piece of advice I received, as in something succinct and verbalized... I think it's more a general vibe Ive picked up from other writers I admire. And it boils down to ideas like "Don't overthink it", "Don't play to the gallery", and "Fuck it, just play." Fanfic writers.

Me talking about someone I've posted with on the same social media site for a long time but never actually met

Still from the television show What We Do in the Shadows showing Laszlo speaking. Text reads "he's my best friend, he's my pal. He's my homeboy, my rotten soldier. He's my sweet cheese, my good-time boy."

#QueerCharChat I loved this game! Can't wait for Nov!🥰 Sadly, Charlie and Steady have no published stories yet, but if you liked them, you MIGHT like my debut novel (a softboiled mystery with a cynical lesbian archaeologist and her bubbly himbo frenemy) or some of my shorter works. Some are free!

Enjoy spooky season, folks! Dropping in before all the fun new October games begin tomorrow to give you advance notice that #Novmemeber will be back again this year. There'll be a mix of returning prompts (with new memes!) and some fun new stuff. I'll ping y'all again at the end of the month! xo👻

The prompt list for #Novmemeber 2026, but the prompts have been obscured by a spooky fog until the event gets closer. For now, a skeleton is sitting on a bench and "PATIENTLY WAITING."

In DeadmanWIP, there are some cute moments, but it's ultimately a first-foray, so its kinda low-key. One of my favorite scenes is Jack in the interrogation room dressed like a Victorian widow in his black veil and candles and all.

#WIPSnips Nora finds a clue to a problem, and serendipitously, some decor for Bayle’s quarters.

"Where did you find this?"
"I was poking through storage. You said you admired the carriage-house, so I thought you might like that to brighten up your room.”
She gave him a friendly tap on the back of his hand and he had a flash of regret for his cotton glove.
"Oh... I... I hardly spend any time in there," he demurred.
"That doesn't mean it has to look like a prison cell," she scolded, severely, and Bayle found himself abashed, in spite of himself. He knew what a prison cell looked like after spending a year as a prison guard at Merlin's Hill, and his quarters on the Hermitage were quite cozy by comparison. Thinking of it through Nora's eyes, though, he admitted it was somewhat bare, and her care was touching.

Hey, artists? Never, ever, ever say "I don't want them to pay too much" for a commission. For a sticker? A book? Sure. A comm? If they agree to the price, then that's a good price. Negotiate, sure, but don't lowball yourself. If it's easy, that's because you're skilled. And skill isn't cheap.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

I hate restaurant tortilla chips. Especially Qdoba. I eat one chip and think I love them. Then I eat three more hoping that they're the 'good' chip like the first. I eat half my little baggie looking for one single grain of that lime-salt they put on the first chip, but taste only cardboard.

At this point, I am not longer interested in ever seeking out developmental editors. I have too much of a stubborn streak and need to figure shit out on my own. But a good proofreading editor would have a grasp of my voice, have a solid knowledge of style, and maybe do minor fact-checking.
