Thank you! The cocktail of meds the hospital gave me I think has put me in the right direction

Of course we want this! Companion reading for Steel Ball Run when the anime drops, perhaps?

Thank you, I really appreciate your perspective. Diazepam now acquired!!

Lillian Barry @solillianbarry.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Thank you so much, I'll look into these! Looks like diazepam is prescription only but I was thinking about going to the GP anyway. It's day 6 and I haven't improved since day 3 so it's probably time to try external help.

Advice for sore neck post migraine? Stubborn muscle tension, frequent spasming, waking up hourly with excruciating pain that only responds to a cold compress

I can promote it! I really liked "The Santa Pageant" a whole lot. I'm excited for this one!

Apparently KDP has changed since I last used it so now my paperback won't be out on time?? So confused whatever

Lillian Barry @solillianbarry.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

Totally! It's so weird too because the article mentions the AI obviously doesn't have the user's best interests at heart...but it doesn't have any agenda at all and I find that hard to accept. It's so pointless!

010

Lillian Barry @solillianbarry.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

When I saw the title I was like "what?!" and then I read the article and I can't believe I didn't think of this! I watched the movie Altered States last week which is about a guy searching for his primal self and all this sounds eerily similar!

Aw thank you Rachel! 💖 I know how you feel about ARCs, I'm on an ARC ban and new ones still find me somehow

Lillian Barry @solillianbarry.bsky.social · 01/05/2025

My epub is done so if anyone wants an ARC just holler in the DMs

It is a little-known fact that every book contains a typo

Lillian Barry @solillianbarry.bsky.social · 28/04/2025

KDP keep emailing me to upload my manuscript like calm your tits I have a typo to correct

Lillian Barry @solillianbarry.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

What should I work on next? Spicy sapphic short story? Silly, tropey novella? I think I'm avoiding my main project because it's going to take SO LONG to write.

Glad you're taking care of yourself. Hopefully another time!

My day job is book production too 😅 (although I try not to read those books otherwise I'd never handle my workload!!)

Lillian Barry @solillianbarry.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

I keep pretending I haven't read anything in 2025 but I've done at least 2 beta reads, 2 proofreads, and read my own book about 12 million times so who's laughing now

Lillian Barry @solillianbarry.bsky.social · 26/04/2025

Finished proofreading my book and it was awesome! Like it didn't feel like something I wrote, I really enjoyed it!!

I set myself an ambitious timeline because I thought it might help me actually do it??? So far so good!

Person next to me on the bus cracked an egg on the window, peeled and ate it. (It was boiled, thankfully.) There's an Easter egg for you.

And here's the short blurb for my upcoming queer romance! Announcing on Instagram later and I wanted my friends here to know first 🥰

Short blurb for The Island Festival by Lillian Barry. With his ten-year high-school reunion coming up, Dair is determined to get a life. Maybe joining a brass band will help his ex-classmates forget the disastrous proposal he never quite lived down. But when Dair finds out the band's next gig is the reunion itself, it's only a matter of time before he embarrasses himself again, and this time not just in front of his classmates, but the hot music teacher he's falling in love with.

First look at the microtrope map for my next queer romance, out 9th May!

Trope map for The Island Festival, out 9th May. Tropes clockwise are: brass band; teacher/student but they're both adults; shy, anxious mmc; school reunion; music lessons; TTRPG group; cooking together as quality time; embarrassing past; celebrating liberation; reliable non-binary mc; mid 20s ennui; pan4pan; romance on a small island.
