I am about to absolutely stuff myself with sushi. We haven’t had sushi in so long.

Behold, if you will, the...astonishing...contract from Shadow Light Press. A rolling 10-year term...payment on profit (but only after costs are recouped)...appropriation of the author's universe if they can't continue the series...and more www.reddit.com/r/Progressio...

That moment when you've been flying by the seat of your pants with a vague, but plausible, plot point, but now your publisher needs you to detail how it actually all works to flesh out the character motivations & you have to piece something together that won't entirely blow up the plot... #WriteSky

It felt like a holiday romance kind of day. FOR NO REASON. My Secret Santa on Netflix is HILARIOUS. Highly recommend. Also, my partner doesn’t know who Tia and Tamera are. We clearly led different childhoods. 😂

It's here! The ✨news✨ is here! I am delighted to announce that The Tinsel Twist is coming from Turner Publishing in less than a year. I am so stoked to work with Turner. Thank you @litagentkatiem.bsky.social for not giving up on me! Link to my silly video announcement in comments. #WriteSky

I always watch The Game Awards to play I Spy of a couple orchestra members from back in my performance days, but Flute Guy is always an added bonus. Plus it’s fun to see all the games and the evolution of this award show from year to year. Also, loved Miss Piggy and Rowlf!

FLUTE GUY TIME

Any bets who is gonna take home Game of the Year?! 🤪😂🤪😂 (It’s a rhetorical question)

I’ve been fairly underwhelmed with these game announcements. I dunno. That new Larian Studios Divinity game piqued my interest though. Usually there’s a few I get hyped for but meh.

Ooooo. Lenny Kravitz. I love all these new crossovers in gaming.

Some of these trailers at The Game Awards that have taken over the stage and had on stage interaction with the trailer and even broken the fourth wall have been really cool. Loving the production quality.

FELICA DAY HELL YEAH

I was sitting here like man we haven’t had any surprise celebs on The Game Awards this year yet and then Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, and Jason Momoa came out with a lot of the Street Fighter cast. 😂

For those who come after…

Damn Geoff. Cutting the onions at #TheGameAwards

Okay. The dreads on the French opera guy for the opening game awards number was awesome. Love breaking down standards in classical style music.

✨Book News Tomorrow✨ #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Some days my job is a lot like being a programmer. I've been working on a slide for 2.5 days, trying to make all the clicks do what I need them to do, and finally got it to work and now I don't want to look at my computer for the rest of the day.

Oh, just a typo I found in the closed captioning of the day job project I’m working on.

Is it wrong to eat bourbon cake for breakfast? 😂

In true procrastinator fashion, I am sliding into the end of the year with some very exciting ✨news✨ that I can’t wait to share with you VERY SOON. Watch this space. Art by (IG handles): artsy.mica izmartinsenart elleillustrationss lonelymagpies #debutauthor #holidayromancebooks #BookSky

I'm late to #SmutCember today and don't have time to pull a more recent snippet BUT I have a First Kiss scene from an old fantasy draft on my blog! Hope it's okay to share it this way. This was a prompt for a spicy writing challenge I did in early 2024. www.rosies-reverie.com/post/january...

Wicked time!

I love a good stolen glance or brushed fingertips or other accidental touch. Forced proximity even if it’s as simple as the love interests ending up sitting beside each other in a friend group. Flirty text messages. Find a common interest if they’re opposites. So many good options! #SmutCember

Imagine the song “On Top of the World” by Imagine Dragons playing with this video… ✨✨VAGUE ONCE MORE✨✨ ✨News✨ coming soon. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

I will read just about anything 😂 #Smutcember I’ve been experimenting a little more in some short story style smut in my writing with monster erotica, but generally speaking my contemporary romance doesn’t get too experimental. So, I’d say it’s a Venn diagram.

I have a problem. And that problem is called Vampire Survivors. I’m hooked. 🤪😩

Honestly, both! But I will say some books have too much smut for my taste. I do like plot with my smut and when I start to question how the chars have time for anything else besides spicy times, I check out. I try to keep that in mind when I write, too. #SmutCember

It's the first Wednesday of the month, which means it's time for The Insecure Writer's Support Group blog hop post! This one is a bit of a heavy one and wrestles with my thoughts about how different November is for me now that NaNoWriMo is gone. #WriteSky www.rosies-reverie.com/post/iwsg-de...

Well, #SmutCember, I will read things a lot spicier than I write them. I’m not sure I’ve found my boundaries yet. I don’t know what that says about me 😬 that I need to read even more! 😂 I will say I don’t read a lot of dark or taboo. But generally speaking I’m willing to give most books a try.

Hi! #SmutCember sounds like so much fun. I’m Rosie, romance/spec fic author controlled by 7 cats. I think I’ll focus on Kent/Zoey from SportsWIP but others could appear based on the prompt. Kent is the golden boy of the NFL (& golden retriever) & Zoey is a jilted sports-hating artist. #WriteSky

Did you know I have a Discord? The Rose Garden began in 2018 when I streamed a lot on Twitch. These days, we’re a cozy creative community with lots of interests. New month = new avatar Plus, if you want to keep up with my writing news, this is the space it’ll drop first! 🔗 ⬇️ #WriteSky

State of the world aside, I'm excited for 2026 for writer things. 2025 has been stagnant, with a lot of toiling & rejection. It has done a number on me mentally with so much out of my control. But I have a lot planned for '26. If all goes well I'll be hitting my before I turn 40 goals. #WriteSky

I have a feeling I may regret my decision to stay up until almost 5am playing Vampire Survivors. 🤪🤪🤪 #GamingSky #GamerGirl

It's #CreatorDay on Itch.io, so I made my horror anthology free to claim again. Go get it! Maybe even toss in a coin if you like it--or let me know. I'm as fueled by validation as I am by income, if not more so. Why yes, I *am* desperate. barrows.itch.io/the-cryptic-...

Since the propane man came to fill up the tank on Black Friday, do you think the gas is on sale? 🤪

It’s annual wake up to put the sweet potatoes in the oven to bake and then go back to sleep for an hour day. 😜

A Gratitude List for characters from The Tinsel Twist. Even though this book takes place in December, we're going to pretend that the timeline makes sense :D Also... I hope y'all aren't tired of me talking about this book... 😏 #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Oh, ya know. Just one of the cats trying to do my day job. 😬🤪 (It is a good thing I found it before the director saw it though….)

Adelaide's head is spinning a bit, but is it from the booze or from Jace? Or maybe a bit of both. #WIPSnips

Oooo... I've been learning all sorts of fun IT/businessy things like creating business email addresses and connecting them to domains to use for newsletters. 😀 I've been putting this off for a while, but it's time to get this stuff set up. For... reasons...

I should’ve bought this shirt 😂

AAAAAHHHHHHH

Copilot was forced onto me at my dayjob by the director "graciously" getting us a license. I did not ask for this. It's been a week & I'm already sick of it popping up. NO I DON'T WANT YOUR HELP. I would like to please get a license to a tool I do want & will use though. But I wasn't asked.

It's my birthday. Please preorder my novella today. Thread celebrating friend books later today. Itch: anotherindiewriter.itch.io/opus Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/s/994d56a7cb Amazon: www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTWJ89VC Kobo: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/... Barnes & Noble: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/guitar-con...

Anyone use a virtual mailbox/office for an LLC? So many of these virtual mail places seem sketchy. The ones that don't seem sketchy don't have addresses available in Tennessee. And I live in the middle of nowhere and don't have access to things like coworking spaces and other options.
