I just wanna know if people really think they’re gonna bully Lizzo into not making music anymore. Like, let’s be real. What’s the point of lurking in her posts to talk shit about an album you didn’t listen to? Loser behavior.

#SummerOfStories I'm Max and I write about guys falling in love in various places and times. Scorching hot queer love stories filled with pleasure and pain. ❤️‍🔥🌈 My current WIP is a contemporary romance between a traumatized ex cop and a flower power good doer. All my books are on KU (links in bio).

I hope to write a friends to lovers scene this emotionally satisfying 🥹 Help me raise money for the editor to help me get there? 💙📚 🌈📚 gofund.me/eb8bb8381 #writingcommunity #writesky #romantasy #queerauthors #friendstolovers #indieauthors

Just think: if not for reality TV, we wouldn’t have had this president. Trump was a failing business man and a laughing stock in NYC. Then, Mark Burnett polished his image and made him seem successful in The Apprentice, which made him a household name. But Trump has always been a fraud.

Some dude commented, "You know the same argument can be made for the other side, right?" Uh, yeah. I'm aware that's been the white mindset for years. Which is the whole point of the post

So, I have a video in my drafts that talks about the racist origins of standardized tests and how it connects to the themes of racially biased learning gaps in Lavon’s Covenant but idk if I should post it 😬 #writingcommunity #writingadvice

BITCH! 😩😂🤣

🥾 🏕️ WELCOME TO QUERY BOOTCAMP 🏕️ 🥾 Day 1 is all about the query letter. We know an agent cares the most about the sample pages, but in today's landscape, you need to be good at every part of the package. Your query is the first impression. You need to make a good one.

Time stands still when I’m in her embrace. My anxiety melts away, I sleep better. She’s my home, my safe space.

Lavon uses magic. He's not good at it, but the spirit is there. When he inevitably fails, he throws his spellbook and runs. Coop also uses magic. He's from a magic military family. He holds his own in battle. He flashes his dimples and makes glib but flirty remarks as he spells circles around you.

The attack on education in the US is not new, but the slow fuse that arguably started with Reagan is now setting off detonations across K-12 and higher education that are going to be incredibly difficult to walk back if we don’t treat this like the urgent crisis it is.

What I grabbed during Indie Bookstore Day! Plus some things to add to the tbr. What did everyone else get? #independentbookstoreday

anyways, instead of us centering how men ain’t shit, let’s swing in the other direction and highlight how amazing Black women are ✨

You know that feeling when you walk up to a group having a conversation, and you add what you think is thoughtful commentary, and the whole group goes silent, then someone says, "Anyway," and they continue the conversation without you? Yeah, that's what social media feels like to me 😅

Anyone else hate the love at first sight trope? Like, the mc being a hopeless romantic is not enough to get me to root for these two strangers and all of their collective red flags. #booksky 🌶️📚

#WIPSnips From LAVON'S COVENANT: Lavon, being the over-achiever he is, is very good at catastrophizing. #writingcommunity #queerwriters #romantasy 💙📚

Better late than never, right? From LAVON'S COVENANT: Coop dreams big. Meanwhile, Lavon is in reality... #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity 💙📚 🌈📚

#QueerWriters -Finish editing the first three chapters of LAVON’S COVENANT -Split LAVON’S COVENANT into two manuscripts -edit query letter -Add the first three chapters to my website This week is all about promo #writingcommunity #writesky #lgbtqwriters

Just a reminder that I’m also posting on TikTok now semi-regularly. I’m authorrjbeary on there too ❤️ #writingcommunity #amwriting

So, this goal has changed since I disappeared off the face of the earth. I think the best thing to do now is to split Lavon’s Covenant into two ~50k books? Idk maybe revise to give certain scenes room to breathe

I need recs!! witty/funny romantasy YA published in the last 5 years?? #writingcommunity #queerwriters #amwriting #amreading

My goal is to cut ~10k words from Lavon’s Covenant so it’ll be under 100k. I cut ~300 from chapter one. 26 chapters to go #writingcommunity #queerwriters #amwriting #amediting #amquerying

I'm convinced I'll never be successful at social media because I can never remember to post unless I'm writing 🤦🏾‍♀️ And based on how much I post, that should hint at how much time I spend writing. So, let me get back to it 😆

From Lavon's Covenant: For this scene, I asked myself, what's a mortal experience so ridiculous that if explained, even witches would think it was crazy? The answer: Space Jam. 💙📚 #WIPSnips #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity

From Lavon's Covenant: Lavon and Kai have ✨chemistry✨ 💙📚 #WIPSnips #amwriting #amquerying #queerwriters #writingcommunity #friendstolovers 🌈📚

I didn't have positive, so here's certain. From Lavon's Covenant: Lavon's mom is using Uncle Sterling and the amplifier as a cautionary tale. Dad...not so much. 💙📚 #WIPSnips #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity #bvm

So getting back to basics gave me idea for content. Idk if it helped all that much with my writing. I guess we’ll see when we start editing/revising again

For writing time today we’re going back to basics

From Lavon's Covenant: Lavon seeks more information about his mysterious uncle from the Council of Cousins. #WIPSnips #amwriting #amquerying #writingcommunity #bvm 💙📚
