Loving this. "Sometimes I think, I cannot love her more. But then I see her put down her paintbrush and scoop up a wad of paint with her hand, turn to the canvas, and flesh out an ocean with her palm, and I feel the edge of my love expanding." Dylin Hardcastle. A Language of Limbs #sapphicbooks

Catch Twinless when it comes out in Oz later this month. Such a great film about longing and loss. I felt the loneliness of losing a twin/soulmate, whether a biological sibling, a friend, or an amorphous relationship. And it's also extremely funny, often in a dark way. More details in the comments

@stephenarussell.bsky.social I would love to hear your thoughts on Twinless some time. Will you have a review?

"'What’s next on the syllabus?' Annalise asked as though she didn’t look over it every day. She knew for a fact the next lesson was about surfaces. She just thought it would be hot to listen to Brinley explain it." Erica Lee. A Lesbian's Guide to Women #gclswa #lesfic #sapphicfiction #wlwbooks

"You are my home, my friend, a part of me, my history. But I also love you with a passion." ~ Clare Ashton ~ Poppy Jenkins #gclswa #lesfic #sapphicfiction

"Ally smiled. 'Let’s not disappoint him then.' Veronica’s attention snagged on the curve of Ally’s full lips. I doubt you’d ever disappoint, she thought." ~ J.J. Arias ~ The Love Conspiracy #gclswa #lesfic #sapphicfiction

The best line in a sapphic book ever? This is a good contender: "She could feel Sutton's breath against her cheek, and she closed her eyes, as she whispered, 'You are such a smart woman, Sutton, but so wrong.'" ~ Haley Cass ~ Those Who Wait #gclswa #lesfic #sapphicfiction More quotes below...

We are loving Lou Morgan's debut novel Strap In: A super spicy sapphic romance. Let us know what you're loving 😍 "Ava scoffs. ‘Don’t be such a tease – you can’t just show up talking about how you’ve been dreaming of me eating you out then act like it’s no big deal.’" #lesfic #sapphicfiction

Writing tips: Villains! A villain's heart often has a soft side. Figure out why another character might love them, what makes them human (if they are indeed human). #gclswa #sapphicwriting #sapphicwritingprograms #lesfic #sapphicfiction #wlwbooks #sapphicbooks

“Whoever it is you fall in love with for the first time, not just love but be in love with, is the one who will always make you angry, the one you can't be logical about.” ― Jeanette Winterson, The Passion #gclswa #sapphicwriting #wlwwriting

"We … write to heighten our own awareness of life. We write to lure and enchant and console others. We write to serenade our lovers. We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection." —Anaïs Nin, The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 5, 1954 #gcls #gclswa
