#AwesomeCharacters Yes, in all my works, eating, cooking,feeding all have a crucial part, and even starving. There's on page eating and having a moment together, and sometimes food becomes important and crucial in that moment between the characters. It can be an act of love too.

#WIPSnips I have it in my femdom WIP (might have shared the other half once...). Nic and Gracie are a couple, but things start to shift, and not in the right direction for Nic.

Readers are amazing.❤️❤️

#queerwriters Watching with soft bitterness Eric’s parted lips, listening to his breathing in that quiet room. Imagining running his hand on his cheek, his thumb on his brows, pulling him close in that state of semi-consciousness where he would snuggle up, just to fall asleep again.

#SundaySnips From my long dormant Teachers WIP (as in, write what you know, lol!) Luke is a new teacher from the US in an international school in the South of France. Married, dragged after his husband who got a job there as a doctor, his first day is filled with stress as he goes to the staff room.

#AwesomeCharacters Brutus and Rufus are slaves, they don't have any money.

It's still mind blowing to see my books being read because what do you mean that strangers are discovering these characters I laughed and cried with, loved with, hated with, live with them until I could write The End on their story that they decided to show me.

#WritingPrompt Right now I have a new WIP out of the blue, as ever, and I'm so looking forward to see how my MCs will fall in love. And the first kiss, I'm most curious to find out how it will happen.

#pretendpanel Fundamental. I write with music, it is essential to writing, and some pieces have also inspired WIPs.I'm more a mood listener, and sometimes will just play sometimes playlists (although not a girlie 😉),and sometimes a piece will be on loop. It all depends on what clicks with the story.

I have a new WIP, of course..., and what is this magic of my characters appearing and I'm discovering them now and I love them so much already, it's making my heart flutter when I scribe down the next scenes in their story. 😭❤️

Enjoying the afternoon with some great Romani music from the village festivities.

Having spent my whole career in education and English as an Additional Language, one thing that still kills me is people referring to themselves as second language speakers as opposed to "native speaker" (a deeply damaging term, that is on its way out). You are not less than... you are multilingual

#WIPSnips From my android WIP, I have 'repurposed'. After a negative report on his performance by the captain, Andrew's factory calls the captain to tell him about the protocol to disable Andrew if he seems unreliable.

Do not poison your mind with "who will read this? Who will like this?" Aren't you already in love with these characters wanting their stories told who have chosen you as their scribe? What a privilege to go on an adventure together and make them real for others. Nothing else matters. ❤️‍🔥

#WIPSnips From my demon and priest WIP. Matteo is back from visiting his family and Byron is waiting for him outside his house. But in that insane little moment after his trip, Matteo makes a choice...

#pretendpanel youtu.be/WyhdvRWEWRw?...

I might never "make it" in the industry, or become rich, or famous, but for sure in my old days I'll be sitting on a pile of books I'll have written and that I love to read. 😌❤️

End of April accountability... not a great month with all the KU shenanigans and streaks of 0 day, but 226 free books out in the world, and some sales, and KU readers, despite all the glitches and the sea of AI slop on the zon, have been present. I am grateful for every single sale and page read. ❤️

#WIPSnips I have 'writing' in my dystopian sci fi WIP. When their masters leave to a conference, Ciel is left with River, and the morning after, they go from River's quarters to Raymond's flat, so River can clean. And Ciel wants to know why he is terrified when he talks about consequences.

#AwesomeCharacters They both do, but Rufus more in his head as he's too scared to get slapped if it slips out in front of anyone. Brutus swears at the other gladiators. The curse word used the most is "fuck".

Damaged, unloved men, burning in an impossible love that somehow found them.

"Oh a long sunny weekend ahead!" My body: how about we bleed early then? oh, extra cramps too, muhahaha! .....

Tell us your pet's name with a gif

Not to listen to any "craft" advice.

#BonApriltit Research I did for my triology on Roman food and recipes, and then doing more research on what gladiators ate, and slaves (although this is more difficult to find). I also used Apicius' De Re Coquinaria as a resource to get inspiration.

#WIPSnips From my gladiator WIP, I have 'swift'. The day after the arena fights, the doctor is making rounds with the lanista to check on the wounded in their cell. Rufus is helping him. (cw blood, injury)

#AwesomeCharacters In my gladiator WIP, Brutus is exhausted by the time he's done with his day of fighting and training, so he goes to sleep as soon as he's allowed to. Same with Rufus, but he has to get up at dawn to light the fires in the kitchen and start cooking.

#WIPSnips From my life guard WIP, I have chicken as food. Corey has dinner at Mitch's small beach house (Mitch fished Corey out of the waves when he almost drowned surfing), and he is already having feelings.

hi! hey! yes, here i am! 😀 and here is my website... all about my series, The Serrulata Saga www.booksbybennett.com buy my books! explore character art! CLICK!!!

Left eye twitching is a common symptom of perimenopause... at this stage, every single shit I have in my body a cause of this crap... amazing. 🤬

The way that transgender people just lives rent free in cishet people's minds. Babes, we are just out here trying to live our lives. If you just mind your own business and stop giving a shit about how random people in the world are living? You would be so much happier.

Intelligent

Not me waking up after a night of fcked up dreams with another WIP first scene birthed in mental chaos...

seems like a great technology to build literally everything on

#WIPSnips From my age gap scandal WIP. Siegfried and Charles are clearing Siegfried's father's house, and Siegfried takes this opportunity to tease Charles, and maybe also test the waters a bit...

The Enemy weren’t biting. The #tactician in Dylan wanted to lay low for a good while longer, thinking patience would win out. The smuggler in him wanted to fire everything they had in random directions and run while the chaos ensued. But he was in the navy now. He had lives to consider. #vss365

You got a friend in me...

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. (more like 600... who's counting? 😁)

#SundaySnips From my gladiator WIP. After having been whipped, tied to a pole and left to bake in the sun, Brutus is dying of thirst, when someone sneaks to him in the middle of the night. (cw torture, pain, blood)

#WIPSnips From my gladiator WIP. Rufus is working hard to clean the cells, but the fighters are at an arena, and, after that one night spent together, he is already dead scared for Brutus. (cw abuse)

Every time someone asks if my current WIP brings the cozy...

Handsomest big boy.😍❤️

#WIPSnips From my "Victorian" WIP. One must stash their horse first before having a secret rendez-vous with their lover in his empty mansion. A lover who will become a son-in-law soon. (Yes, I write scandalous stuff 😘)

Carpenter bee gazing.🤣❤️

#AwesomeCharacters Brutus is a gladiator and fights with a sword, but he's also good with his fists. He's a mountain of a man too, so difficult to tackle. Rufus is small and thin, he can't fight at all, and is obviously not even allowed to defend himself.

Night night.❤️❤️💤💤

#FavLineFriday This moment when Brutus and Rufus are in their new "home" but days after the arena fights, there's a party, and the gladiators will be exhibited to the guests, and some gladiators filled Brutus' head with what might happen... (cw allusion to noncon)

#BonApriltit In my gladiator WIP, Brutus is not allowed to cook, so he's only fed and is only allowed to eat at feeding times, typically eating the same things, porridge, oats, and barley with legumes. Rufus is always starving, but he also cooks for the fighters and serves their food. Both of them

internalised misogyny is so funny, and by funny, i mean crucial to upholding patriarchal violence. whenever daughters and nieces grow into teenagers or young adults and older men in the family are obviously horny about them if not outright predatory, and older women get angry at the GIRLS
