It's been a while, my friends, but I have a new blog post for the cover reveal of To Want for Something! Go have a peek and enjoy! www.mb-kelly.com/blog/to-want...

I just finished drafting up tomorrow's release! I'm so excited to share the next cover with all of you. Once again, @myrkrida.bsky.social as knocked it out of the park.

@teagrandarbiter.bsky.social and I are back from our Grand Tour and returning to cheeky form! Tonight we host our weekly live comedy chat show at 6:30 pm Pacific and next week I've invited author Melissa Scott to come Sip the Tea with me! madameaskew.com/2026/06/12/s...

The edit pass for To Want for Something is FINISHED! My next newsletter will have a first look at the cover & details about the release date! Be sure to join to get all the details first! ndgacz.subscribepage.io

Time for my weekly writing, or in this case editing, date. My goal is to finish today!

30 Days of Queer Reads for #ReadingPride gailcarriger.com/2020/06/01/3...

Working through the edits from my editor and I feel so bad. This is truly enlightening of the kinds of errors I make when I'm trying to get the words down and worrying about the nitty-gritty later. I apparently have a fondness for writing 'towards' instead of 'toward'.

Time to get back to edits! Today is just a plain croissant and trying an iced yemeni latte.

My very good friends made me a lovely passion fruit flavored birthday cake. Look familiar?

Time for my weekly writing date. And today we are writing! Because there’s a deadline tonight. Haha.

Trying out a new cafe. Got a Biscotf Latte & a Biscoff Danish! Surely this will comfort me as I work on edits. 😅

My darling friend @piperjdrake.bsky.social is enduring a dreadful illness. The cost is so much more than financial, but as with such things, the mundane financial costs make everything harder If you are able to help, every little bit truly makes a difference. gofund.me/cdd3e13b9

The move is done! As in, everything has been moved from one location to another. I now live in a maze of boxes. But sadly that means no writing date today. I need to find a new spot to go to, AND I'm exhausted.

More details for our monthly book chat are available early to Patreon subscribers. As always, I will post links and general information for book chat 2 hours before we get started on Sunday 💖 www.patreon.com/posts/155884...

Trying Pretz from an author friend. New favorite flavor.

Time for my weekly writing update. Back to edits! Also trying a salted maple latte over my usual chai. Will see how it goes.

In the famous words of Matthew Mercer, “It has begin.” I got book 2 back from my editor so I’m going to be using my writing date to start going through them.

Today is my normal writing date, but I’m exhausted. I still went to the cafe because I only have 4 more Sundays before I move and I love this place. So I’m going to eat my breakfast and read.

Piper is a treasure and her stories, all of them, have been gifts to her family, friends, and fans. We all just want her to have a little more time to write one more novel and to savour her own love story. Every little bit helps her have that time

No weekly writing date today since I’m out of town visiting family. Will be back next week! 💜

Thank you airline for overbooking my flight, moving me to a more direct flight, and giving me enough compensation in gift cards to put a dent in my moving expenses.

I've worked with the talented author Piper J. Drake for many years, and now she needs help raising money for her cancer treatment so she can finish writing her book. gofund.me/d72fdf428

Time for my weekly writing date. I’m half awake after a terrible night’s sleep, so here’s hoping for something.

Latest update from the Order is dropping tomorrow morning. Inside will be links to two short stories I wrote this year! And a major life update. subscribepage.io/ndgaCZ

Working on Urban Warlocks Book 3 for my weekly writing date today while book 2 is still with the editor.

Darlings, make art, be fiercely kind, and hold onto your resilience and joy. Taking action and helping people gives me hope. Making art lifts my spirits. I hope in these hard days these things can sustain you, too

Just watched D(e)ad by Isabelle Roland. It made me laugh and cry through the whole thing. Not only was it exciting to see some of my favorite people from Dropout, but the subject was so touching. It was just the kind of thing I needed this evening. I 100% recommend. www.imdb.com/title/tt3399...

Time for my weekly writing date.

I had such a marvelous time chatting with @clpolk.com today! The conversation was so good that @teagrandarbiter.bsky.social even made an appearance and brought his own great questions! www.youtube.com/live/71xQbbn...
