can you even ✨imagine✨ the world we would have right now if we had spent the hundreds of BILLIONS that were invested in ai in art, science and social mobility instead?

I told my husband that a man mistook me for a twenty year old and I was laughing about it. Husband: Dude needs to get his eyes checked Me: 😮 Husband: He clearly couldn't see you were wearing a wedding ring Me: 😍

Oooo boy, well, in my WIP, Lenora initially meets the love interest when he's in the form of a rabbit and then takes him home as a pet. So, I'm going to say pet rabbit that is not a fae trying to trick her.

My experience with Writer's Block is essentially that I have to go work on something else for a bit or take some rest. It's not this crippling thing which makes me physically unable to continue... ...which btw I have carpal tunnel so I know what "reached my physical limits on writing" feels like.

Husband: texts me across the house a meme about how he's going to hold back Mariah Carey as long as possible Me: sneaks up on him while playing All I Want For Christmas Is You Toddler: Dances with me, indicating I have won this battle

When I have my writer time I'm torn between: 1. Working on the new fantasy romance 2. Final edits to contemporary romance 3. Figuring out how to advertise my novella.... books2read.com/u/bwJrGZ

Started this year's #nanowrimo project early because I have a busy November and don't want to burn out again. The draft is hot garbage so far but I've already written a few moments that surprised me as if they didn't come from my own imagination. 🤣 Just really excited for this one!

We certainly use ours!

Lenora would never hurt an animal which wasn't livestock and/or actively attacking her.
