US politicians are a distraction from how amazing trans people are

Look! I see my book!

#LesFicFri “[Marco]’s one of my ex’s friends. I found him snooping around this morning. Before he could #hurt me, Bonnie had her hands on him, making him regret life.” A smile of satisfaction danced over Laura’s face. It wasn’t kind to enjoy others’ misfortune, but he’d earned it by being a douche.

Happy Fri #lesficfri Friends! 🤗 Let's share some of what's HURTING in our stories today! ouch! 🤕❤️‍🩹🩼

There are 4 panels happening back to back this Saturday. Join us!

Love slow burn queer fantasy stories? Check out my webnovel Through The Dark!

#WeeknightWriters A5 Christmas portal romantasy coming soon! Otherwise, please check out my #cozyparanormal with #werewolves and a bi/pan #sapphic relationship. Link: books2read.com/u/mBKq2O

I mean if your sci-fi sky doesn’t have islands in it, what is it even doing there? #weeknightwriters

#WeeknightWriters A4 I've got stress to go through with a few personal things (a leaky roof being the main one). I don't know if you can help me unless you know Jake, and like a good neighbor can convince his company to fund a new roof for me. So... take it easy and be gentle on yourselves.

#WeeknightWriters A2 Less stress might come from planning. I'm not completely sure which writing project I'm taking on next. I have old ones I could pull out and polish. We'll see. I look forward to #FirstDraftFall to figure that out.

#WeeknightWriters A2 My writing joy in the week came from completing the 5 Day Very Short Story course. I have nuggets of a good YA and thriller from it. Also, I decided I'm doing my first 5K walk on October 11th. Signed up for that today. A fitter JD is one who can share more of her writing ideas

#WeeknightWriters A1 My vent/cry of the week is that my Incubus story made it past the first round of rejections but was ultimately NOT selected for Common Bonds 2. I'm not sorry I wrote it, and I was already planning on using it beyond the anthology anyway. But my disappointment is still fresh.

#WeeknightWriters Intro I'm JD (she/her), usually writing romantic SFF with bi leads. Sometimes I mix that up. This week I wrote part of a short story writing challenge and have been reading #MyExIsAVampire by fellow author on the tag, @msocampowrites.bsky.social ! Look forward to #FirstDraftFall

Happy Thur #lesficfri Friends! 🤗 Tomorrow's theme is ****HURT**** Is someone in your story HURTING? What or who HURT them? Hopefully the HURT will heal! 🤕 🩼 💔

Join us TONIGHT for the #WeeknightWriters chat at 7-9PM EST! We’ll be chatting about how we’re coping with the chaos & things that bring us joy

I wish people cared about the first amendment rights of authors and artists who are getting their works banned in schools and libraries across the USA as much as they care about the rights of white male comedians to be on national TV

Every once in a while, I think I'm clever. Today's example from me talking to a coworker. Cosmetology: makeup Cosmology: makeup... of the universe!

There's only a week left of September, so don't forget to get your sexy serpentine sapphics on sale while the time lasts! (yes, I fit as many S words into that sentence as possible) riengray.shop/b/9gEkw

@draft2digital.bsky.social Noticed my sales reports were glitching Sunday. The purchases from the month had disappeared and are being readded to my sales totals. Any estimate when things will be done correcting?

If there are #SapphicSeptember readers, I have two things that might fit your fancy. "Blooming Where She's Planted" is available here: books2read.com/bravenewgirls6 The Handyma'am and the Werewolves is available here: books2read.com/u/mBKq2O

Thanks! I always enjoy #LateNightWrite (when I remember it 💀) My contemporary fantasy drama series starter Sidetracked is part of a huge bi visibility week bundle right now. 50 books for $50! 👉 itch.io/b/3263/bi-vi... I also have my books (and other goodies) on my ko-fi! 👉 ko-fi.com/skkelleywrites

#LateNightWrite Self-promo I released a novella at the end of August that features a human woman working at a #werewolf restaurant. #Sapphic (bi/pan) romance and #CozyParanormal vibes. Buy/read/review (please!): books2read.com/u/mBKq2O Short (11k) #Christmas #portal romance coming soon!

#LateNightWrite A3 Sophia: I've got money, unless I don't, and most people bore me. Will you be one of them, too? Unless you can go back in time and bring me the Queen's jewels, I'm not interested. Benedict: Sleeping my life away, and time traveling. Yeah, I'm bi but that doesn't mean I want YOU.

#LateNightWrite A2 Honestly, with so many variations on setting and genre, the author can't decide on one thing that's going on here. Do not recommend. In one part it's the roaring 20s. In another, I think we're in high school. Then a space ship. Oh, and there are lesbians and bisexuals. So woke.

#LateNightWrite A1 It's the Wibbly-Wobbly Paradox. People are time traveling. There are secrets. Some people disappear like they were never born. In some places, time travel is highly regulated, and did you know time travel in my universes leaves a bad taste in the traveler's mouth? Cool, right?

#LateNightWrite Hi all! I'm JD, writer of romantic SFF, usually with bi leads. This week I've been taking a short-story writing course and working a singular prompt through multiple variations. So that WIP is about a socialite with a (secretly) time-traveling romantic partner.

I saw an advertisement on Facebook yesterday (? or Thursday), and it had a pair of shoes "Buy 1 get 1 Free." I rational brain knows they meant buy one PAIR get a second PAIR free. The silly part of me wondered, "Aren't shoes already sold in pairs???"

#LesFicFri “Who’s the girl you’re crushing on?” “Do you #remember Death? The one who helped me with my wig?” “I do! She was pretty and really nice. Maybe you’ll see her again,” Miranda encouraged [Lisa]. “At least she saw you without your wig so she won’t be looking for someone dressed as Cher...”

Happy Fri #lesficfri friends! 🤗 Today's theme is ****REMEMBER**** Share something one of your characters REMEMBERED!

#lesficfri “remembered” #sapphicBooks #wlwBooks #romance mybook.to/LZTurningPoint

#WeeknightWriters A5 Well, here's my recently released novella that has sold 50 Copies in 3 weeks, and one GoodReads reviewer gave 3/5 stars. Are you convinced yet? books2read.com/u/mBKq2O Next release (Oct or Nov) is the Christmas portal Romantasy w/ broken snow globes: As Easy as Falling Snow

#WeeknightWriters A4 I got nothin' when you can, but I know you all DO help when you can. Thank you for your kindness and community.

#WeeknightWriters A3 I honestly have no idea, but one part will be starting a certain home repair and appealing the decision of my insurance company. Writing stuff? Still no idea.

#WeeknightWriters A2 Joy I finished one of the beta reads I've had since July! Believe it or not, I hate making writers wait on me. I shared my Christmas novelette with a coworker, and on Friday she gave me a very positive review. She swooned over one of my male leads. Score! Enjoying short stories

I'm reading #MyExIsAVampire this week! You'll love it. It's out soon!

#WeeknightWriters A1 Had better weeks. Was sick. The insurance claim got denied because my roof was "improperly installed." I'm surprised the insurance company isn't mad on my behalf because the damaged roof was installed on a different claim 9 years ago. Oh, and someone thought my novella was mid.

"I wasn't supposed to write this week" Famous last words 😂 #WeeknightWriters

#WeeknightWriters Intro I'm JD, writer of romantic SFF, usually with bi leads. Happy #BiVisibilityWeek, y'all! I wasn't supposed to write this week. I wasn't. This was supposed to be a month of reading and no writing. But I bought a super short story course Tuesday night. Been enjoying that.

Join us TONIGHT for the #WeeknightWriters chat at 7-9PM EST! We’ll be chatting about how we’re coping with the chaos & things that bring us joy
