Currently editing my next book. Trying to get as much done today so we can move on to the copy edits next. It was a lot of fun writing a sports romance, I may have gotten a little too into the technical aspect of things. Haha. #yaoi #boyslove #mmromance #writingcommunity #writerscommunity

Tell me if I'm wrong, but 'Self Aware by Temper City' would be a great theme song for an aromantic person wishing they could fall in love with their friend-with-benefit. (Yes, I'm talking about Luka and Xander from Less Than 69cm Between Us) #webnovel #themesong #boyslove #aromantic
