Gonna eat and go back to bed I think. Suddenly not feeling very good... Thank you for chatting with me tonight everyone. 🤍

A6: serializing my sweet and spicy same-team MM hockey romance! My next book is an MM vampire thing that will be serialized there, too! ko-fi.com/TanukiCutie #WeeknightWriters

Guess I'm screwing up other people's plans hahaha.

A4: i'm going to try and get outside more. I've been cooped up indoors too much. I need the sunshine. #WeeknightWriters

This is my amazing editor and I suck for not getting her my stuff on time but you can hop in there in the mean time and help her out!! Her prices are very reasonable! #WeeknightWriters

A3: oh boy uh... is it weird to say trying British cookies and discovering that HobNobs are delicious has been a delight! #WeeknightWriters

A2: keeping up with my schedule and that's because I've been too exhausted lol. Hopefully next week will be better! #WeeknightWriters

A1: I'm good! Mostly. I've been sleeping a lot which is kinda nice. I feel mostly better this week! Hoping to make progress on one of my WIPS. #WeeknightWriters

I almost forgot! I'm Kali and I write sweet and spicy MM romance when I'm not too chronically exhausted to function. I'm serializing a MM hockey romance on my kofi and working on both a vampire thing and a dragon/shifter thing. #WeeknightWriters

This is my #editor and she's amazing!! Even if you just ask her line edits? She finds typos like a boss and makes your sentences read better. I wish she could edit my posts because good lord I'm bad at it! :) #booksky #writingcommunity #indieauthor

My book is still available on itch for $1 and it would be so cool to see a few more sales!! Spicy, sweet, found family, barista x restaurateur, second chances, MM romance with some added sabotage and drama! #buymybook #indieauthor #smallpress #booksale 🌶️📚 🌈📚

I should go to bed lol

Almost every book I wrote involves a dinner scene. Food is one of the ways I can care for people IRL. Therefore food typically acts as a bridge or a comfort in my stories. Here's a lot of food in Caught Offsides because my hockey players eat a lot. My first book is barista/chef so food there too.

#queerprompts May 3 Found family tends to show up a lot. I know why but explaining that is a level 10 friendship event.

Roll a constitution check. She might make it your problem otherwise ;)

Today is a good day to go look on Kobo (or other ebook retailers) for free ebooks and consider reading a couple this coming week. It's also a VERY good day to go leave a review of the last books you read on their retail pages. (Not just GR!!)

Chronically Exhausted Caramel Pretzel Bites

A5: more traction on my promo stuff, more financial support (even if you don't read my books a sale is a sale!) or even people willing to read and review in exchange for a copy would be helpful. #WeeknightWriters

A4: biggest worry is lack of traction, biggest struggle is marketing lol. They go hand in hand and I'm working on it. But also I write what I want to read, so it's kind of the worry of "maybe agents are right and these really aren't the stories ppl want?" #WeeknightWriters

A3: I like the freedom it gives me to write as I want, or as indulgent as I want. My stories are all books I want to read, so being able to self-publish (or collaborate with Kerfuffle) is a real blessing for me to express myself the way I want with less pressure to "perform" #WeeknightWriters

A2: I am currently running a serialized book on my kofi, so the answer to both is yes, but distribution is through Kerfuffle Books because they're cool and friendly and helped me when I was too sick/exhausted to manage formatting and stuff. (Forgot the tag) #WeeknightWriters

A1: oh... all right I suppose, hoping for better sales next month but my marketing efforts have been stymied by exhaustion. Other than that, it's all good. Doing my best! #weeknightwriters

Hello #WeeknightWriters I'm Kali Valentine, writer of MM smutty romances and I just woke up from an accidental nap. My writing week has been terrible cuz of chronic exhaustion but I got last week's pages to my editor as promised.

Buy my book? It's on sale for $1 on itch and I get all the revenue after payment processors take their cut. A cute and spicy MM romance about a barista looking for a second chance and the restaurateur who gives it to him. #weeknightwriters kerfufflebooks.itch.io/three-course...

A4: I can... send off these pages I've been avoiding sending off to my editor because I'm not convinced they're any good but staring at them isn't conducive to writing and that's why I have an editor lol. #weeknightwriters

A2: I'll leave that til the end because I'm gonna ask for shares on my book sale (a buck on itch) and my kofi but otherwise I'm good and y'all are awesome. Ily. #weeknightwriters

A1: I'm good, just tired. Ignoring everything outside my immediate work/writing etc has been surprisingly helpful for the mental aspect these past 2 weeks. (Not practical but gods did I ever need to unplug. Balance in all things.) #WeeknightWriters

Yay #weeknightwriters 🎉 I'm Kali and I'm so tired I just typo'd my name twice. 😹 I haven't been writing much these past two weeks cuz I have not had energy but... I've been doing planning stuff so it's not so bad. 👍

I just realized that I missed 2 weeks' worth of serialization because of the brain fog and chronic exhaustion... I'll upload 4 chapters of Caught Offsides and then we should be caught back up!! 😭😭😭 I'm so sorry.

My cute, smutty MM coffee shop romance is on sale on itch for $1!!! 🎉🫶🎉 I would be eternally grateful if you check it out! I love Asher and Levi and their rivals to business partners to lovers, second chance, found family story. 🥰🥰🥰 🌈📚 🌶️📚

Boy I have been so exhausted, I'm sorry I've been absent for so long. I'm still here, I'm still working on the next books, I have just not had energy to be online. (Yay, chronic exhaustion!) I'm gonna be on vacay for a little bit longer, please don't forget me!!

Got my pages back. I think I'm over the worst of the blocks. Gonna unplug tonight again and try to refresh my brain for the weekend and hopefully finish some work on the dragon story and the vampires. :) Be safe everyone! 🤍

I think I'm gonna put Three-Course Romance on sale on my ko-fi for the weekend. 🤔🤔 weekend flash sale for my MM spicy coffeeshop/chef romance.

Hi #WeeknightWriters I can't stay today but I just wanted to tell you all that I'm very proud of you for everything you've accomplished this week (even if that just means surviving!) You're doing great and I can't wait to read your words. 🤍🤍

I'm perfectly fine to let strangers read my work, and encourage it, not a problem, but one of my best friends is reading my books right now and I'm weirdly nervous about it? She's read my fics and stuff but not my novels. Funny how brains work sometimes. ʅ（◞‿◟）ʃ

I read it and I audibly said "oh noooooo" because I didn't want him to die either. The goodbyes she wrote were just drunken "be good, I'll see you tomorrow" goodbyes between friends and now they won't see each other tomorrow 😭😭😭

I just pushed through it. Is it good? Idk. That's tomorrow me's problem. 😹😹

I have the worst writer's block right now. No... it's not a block, I know exactly what I want/need to write but I'm in such a slump. It's wild. I can't skip ahead because I can't and I don't know how to get my mojo back. Reading is not helping. Ugh.

I don't write book reviews on my blog anymore because every time I do they're like one paragraph and I've probably read like 5 other books and can't remember the characters' names but I can tell you why it was good to read. 😹😹

I've been reading this as she writes it for feedback and she wrote the most gorgeous line that would've been utterly perfect in one of my novels and I am so jealous that she got to use it first. 😹😹 A story about male friendship and mutual respect and she wrote the most romantic line ever. Damn.

I'm taking tonight off. Goodnight everyone. Love ya! 🤍

Bumping for the late night crowd! I'd love to get my debut novel into your hands! Please share! 🤍 (and maybe buy a copy?!)

Wanna know what you're missing? Fans of #HeatedRivalry will enjoy my novel, Caught Offsides! Same team rookie x his favourite player MM romance. Guaranteed HEA. Plenty of spice. First five chapters are free. Here's what's happening in the free bonus chapter 10 (alt text included.)
