Have a safe and happy holiday, everyone, whatever you may celebrate!

Dialogue can be difficult. Struggling to make it sound natural? Try people watching.

Just an urge to repost this cos it tends to piss off bigots. Yes <gasp> aces exist and <double gasp> we're queer 🏳️‍🌈 Yes, even if we fuck. And yes, even if we dress "sexy". Deal with it 💃

Here are a bunch to get you started. If you are unfamiliar with @fiyahlitmag.bsky.social it's a digital magazine publishing short stories and poetry by Black SFFH authors for going on *counts on fingers* 10 years? Good lord. Co-founded it. Won a Hugo. Etc. go.bsky.app/VSHmC2p

That's how you can tell human authors from AI. AI will put in some em dashes, then apologise and take them out when told off. Human authors will climb the filing cabinet, hissing, and defend their right to em dashes with a loaded stapler.

Hey, buddy. Are you tired? Are you allowing the state of the world to steal some of your light and your peace? Have you strayed and become insanely bitter even towards those who love you? Hey. Please rest and don't give up on everything just yet. There's still goodness here.

What is writing advice that you heard as a novice that didn't work for your process? ○~Always plot. ○~Don't edit as you go. ○~ Follow the genre formula. ○~Outline your chapters. What did you hear that just didn't make sense for you personally? #writers #authors #writingadvice #writingcommunity

I need need NEED people to stop saying "this isn't about porn" like it would be okay if it was. Yes, it's not going to stop with porn. Yes, the right defines all queer existence as porn. But porn IS being targeted, and sex workers and erotic authors deserve support. Full stop.

Sad today because I can't do the thing I love, and crazily am actually excellent at, for a living. I just want to help indie authors. 😭😭😭

It's here! You can purchase the 3rd book in the Hollow-Boned Universe here: books2read.com/hollowboned3 #NewRelease #FantasyRomance #QueerBooks

Happy International Non-Binary People's Day to all my non-binary pals!

The cats that slap you when you walk by because you didn't stop and say hello to them are the best people.

random reminder psa to whoever needs it that if you are on feminizing hrt and use nicotine you extremely should quit aside from the other reasons because of a substantial blood clot risk increase (particularly if you're on oral pills) and reduced feminization effectiveness. the stuff is real bad!!!!

It is frustrating to me that (a) the word "alpha" came out of studies on wolves in skewed situations, (b) the word was used to designate leaders, but (c) is now just being used to describe assholes who couldn't lead a group of lemmings out of a paper bag.
