As an MM writer with their first conventionally-published book coming out soon, I am going to be so interested to see if there is a #HeatedRivalry effect. And if so, what form it takes. Are audiences really interested or was HR a one-off?

Get those pitches in!

If you think you have something the publishers would like, I highly recommend participating! It's run by lovely folks and I actually got a book deal from last year's event.

Does it count as Whamageddon if you haven't actually heard the song yet this year but it's stuck in your head anyway?

When you steal a book, you're not stealing from a large corporation (or not JUST stealing from a large corp in the case of the big 5) you are stealing from a small business. Many writers, even popular ones, have other jobs or are making a very modest living.

The only water writing should consume is in caffeine form as you power through to your deadline.

My queer regency book is starting to pick up steam on Wattpad! It's been nerve-racking to have strangers read my original work but people do seem to be enjoying it! www.wattpad.com/story/390156... #lgbtqbooks #newrelease #newbook #regencyromance #romancenovel

As a non-American, it is frustrating how much US politics is on my feed. The big things are important and affect me as a Canadian, but not the minutae. The situation in the US is terrible but there is a lot more going on in the world. I have muted a million terms and it's still clogging my feed.

THINK MOOSE Behold, the most Canadian PSA campaign.

Disappointing how many folks I've had to unfollow lately because I see them sharing AI slop. Please don't, folks. As writers and creatives, normalizing AI only hurts us all.

Today is the day! My Gothic & sapphic historical fantasy novel is available everywhere ebooks are sold! #Fantasy #Booksky

A worthy story is a story that takes effort, time, and skill to tell. The drive to create and to share is what makes you push past all the hard parts. If you couldn't be bothered to fully write it, why should anyone bother to read it?

I was going to join in laying next to bog bodies, but then I realized I don't know anyone's number anymore, either.

"Anson side-stepped a quartet of children who each held a stick aloft connecting to a different part of a long, slender, golden serpent puppet. The whole market was awash in gold and emerald green - colours of Mon’s scales soon after she’d shed her skin." My first foray into fantasy! #amwriting #wip

THE AUGUSTINE AFFAIR A high fashion socialite secretly working for MI6 is targeted by an assassin who doesn't know he's dealing with a fellow spy. One of their agencies betrayed them, but which? A globetrotting action-adventure romance. A love letter to 90s/00 spy movies. #dvpit #A #CR #t #lgbt

It's wild to think that in less than a month, my very first professionally published work of fiction will be out there in the world. I am full of nerves! I hope people like it. The Secret Court, a Wattpad Original, debuts on October 24th. Red, White & Royal Blue x Bridgerton.

Currently at a bit of a writing crossroads. Do I continue to write romance? If so, should it be another historical one? Or do I branch out into other genres? I have a couple months before edits come back on my other project so now is the time to keep the momentum going. #amwriting

One month from tomorrow, my Wattpad Original, The Secret Court will be out into the wild! I am a bundle of nerves. I hope to do a cover reveal soon! #amwriting

Carino Bay is a lovely seaside town full of queer people fighting gentrification and corruption. It's a great place to fall in love, too! Especially if you want out of a loveless marriage of convenience. Coming to NineStar Press in 2026. #unhingedpit #cs #lgbt #A #r #T

Ever look at the spy movies of the 90s and 2000s (Mr and Mrs Smith, The Bourne Identity, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Lucky Number Slevin, The Long Kiss Goodnight) and thought, hey this is great but it'd be better if it was gay? That's The Augustine Affair in a nutshell! #unhingedpit #t #lgbt #a #q
