Finally got to see Project Hail Mary and am absolutely in love. Visually stunning, Gosling gets to shine, and I cried at least twice. Had to stick my fingers in my ears afterward, though, when hubby and son tore apart the science. So not the point of the movie.

I always finish Drag Race with a queen I adore more than anything else and end up following where I can. This season, it's gotta be Darlene Mitchell. She is just joy.

Opera petty doesn’t miss.

Working at home with window open when I live across the street from a park means random people entertaining me. Today's smile comes via a teenaged boy playing Billy Joel's "Piano Man" on a harmonica as he walks beside a teenaged girl. The boy's only bobble came when she slipped her hand into his.

Working from home today which means I get to work to the tune of dog snores.

This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

I'm always a few years behind on what's hot in books b/c I read my TBR of new-to-me authors from oldest to newest. Which is why I'm only now experiencing Ocean Vuong. Holy crap. His voice leaves me breathless. #booksky

Me at 20: I’ll have it all figured out by the time I’m 40. Me at 40: wtf do you mean they rearranged the grocery store

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

NEW: DHS says a "violent rioter weaponized her vehicle in an attempt to kill him. The ICE officer fired defensive shots." That's a lie. Watch the video for yourself.

Josh Hutcherson nerding out over Twilight Imperium feeds the Hunger Games fangirl in me as well as the gamer. Plus, laughed hysterically at his reaction to Jimmy comparing it to Catan. youtube.com/shorts/5ZpWZ...

Just finished S2 of Man on the Inside, & while I enjoyed it well enough (not as much as S1 tho), what I really got out of it is the reminder of just how amazing David Straithairn really is. I think I'm due for a Sneakers rewatch.

And somehow, the last hour and a half has promptly disappeared as I start Tiny Bookshop. I'm in love. And doomed. And will have to seriously start alarms so my productivity doesn't end up in the toilet.

Reading over best of lists on my day off, and I come across a game on Steam called Tiny Book Shop. Where I get to run a small book shop, decorate it, and recommend books to people? Take my money now!

When you demonize and mistreat the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized, I'm not interested in hearing about your religious beliefs. You've already shown me what they are by how you're demonizing and mistreating the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized.

This week at @jms-books.com is free ebook week! It's important to take care of yourself amidst all the real-world chaos of the moment. Check out the free ebooks being offered (including three of mine!) to find some sanctuary! #booksky #lgbtq+ #reading www.jms-books.com/free-ebook-w...

I've been in my new job for two weeks now and only just starting to figure out a schedule for my writing and such. But today, I relaxed by making cake. Orange bundt cake with an orange rum glaze. I only ate 1 piece, so I'm guessing from what my hubby & son ate, it's a winner.

I start a new full-time job tomorrow that's requiring me to completely adjust my sleeping schedule, so any writing I get done this month as I finish adjusting will be considered a win. #writinglifemontly #writing

Hubby and I took the bikes to Angel Island to ride the Perimeter Road. Very hilly, not everything was paved, so 5 miles took us over an hour, but it was an absolutely beautiful day for it. This is view of San Fran from the 1/2 point of the route. Wish I'd stopped to take more pictures, though.

So many things. Safety to be your authentic self w/o judgment. Mutual respect. Shared passion. I don't believe in soulmates, partially b/c suggests the lack of a need for work in a relationship, partially b/c suggests you can only find 1 in your life, neither of which are true. #writinglifemonthly

Today only! It's the Year of Queer Lit's Bookblast! 100s of books available across many genres, all priced for free or $0.99. You can even find one of mine - "Bridge over Troubled Water" - in the SciFi/Paranormal Section! yearofqueerlit.wordpress.com

When I'm interested in a cookbook, I check it out from the library first. I end up passing on 99%. But this one? My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Beautifully shot, mostly easy, Asian-fusion recipes that seem fussier than they are. A keeper. #cooking www.amazon.com/Family-Style...

I don't write them, but I'm not 100% against them, either. Depends on the story. Sometimes life is messy and feelings are confusing. If a writer is competent enough to tackle it honestly, I'll give it a go. That being said, most don't seem to want to do that. #writinglifemonthly #writing

Like a lot, but love only 1: seeing the other in moonlight, making the scene reverent even if talking about something else. Inside at a window. Outside in the middle of nowhere. Doesn't matter. For me it strips away distraction and lets them focus on what's important. #writinglifemonthly #writing

Lust? Yes. Like? Sure. Love? Absolutely not. Really not a fan of insta-love because real love is about what's inside the person and that takes time. Writing it feels like I'm cheating by avoiding the hard stuff in building a real relationship. #writinglifemonthly #writing

I never close a door if that's what the story requires. Most of my work has 2-3 graphic scenes, but I've also written one where there was a single kiss on the page and another that was driven by the kink. #writinglifemonthly #writing

Decided to finally watch Kpop Demon Hunters tonight & was very pleasantly surprised since I don't listen to kpop and tend to get super stubborn about heavily hyped media. Oddly charming & I actually enjoyed the music. Of course, all the Buffy coding appeals to the Slayer-lover in me, too.

It's a product of its time and problematic in at least one uncomfortable way, but damn if "Random Harvest" with Ronald Colman and Greer Garson still doesn't make me cry. One of my favorite love stories ever. #classichollywood

Reading new release blurbs to see what I might want to go on the TBR, and I am so over anything with a dual timeline. It's gotten to the point that it's an automatic no when I see it. #booksky

I have never chosen to write to the market, much to my husband's dismay. Even when it means my sweet gay historical w/magical realism set in midwest US in the Great Depression barely sells. B/c it's about the story I want to tell more than anything else. #writinglifemonthly #writing

Favorite romance trope: gentle giant, hands down. Enemies to lovers would be second. I love that both force the characters to look past the superficial and dig deeper. #writinglifemonthly #romanceauthors

I like/write both. What happens is dictated by the story. Sometimes, that physical connection comes first. Sometimes, it builds from friendship or needs to get past other emotional blocks before a physical connection can happen. The characters decide that, not me. #writinglifemonthly #writing

I'm a planner who works with a living outline. I can't start without knowing all the beats, but I also know from experience that characters have minds of their own and outlines need to breathe and be allowed to change to accommodate those unexpected changes. #writinglifemontly #writing

I've always been so grateful to get the Jamie Craig backlist up at JMS Books. One of my favorite early titles is a daily deal today! Only $0.99! #booksky #romance www.jms-books.com/jamie-craig-...

My current story will be open door, but I've written both. It all depends on what the story is. Sometimes the door needs to be open because those scenes serve the story in a specific way. Sometimes, it's not necessary and might even detract. #writinglifemontly #writing

I have an unhealthy relationship with all things Tim Curry. I must have this. #funko www.entertainmentearth.com/product/the-...
