💸💕 #HelpSky #DisabilitySky Just realized that I have specialist copays and a bazillion specialist visits coming up. I'd like to buy groceries soon.

Am currently feeling like a twit for never trying to listen to The Harmony of Falling Snow with text-to-speech. Apparently the dividers I used for between texts REALLY don't work. I'd already changed them out for spanning lines, but feel like a twit.

Today I got to write a law enforcement officer trying not to roll her eyes while explaining that forced magic suppressors only glow in the entertainment industry. REAL ones don't waste the energy. #writingcommunity

Happy “Blasting Music That Means the Opposite of What You Think It Does” Day to those who celebrate.

We have now reached the point of this holiday when my dog cowers shaking in my closet while my wife sings to him and I worry about all the wild animals that don't have closets or humans to comfort them and still have to listen to these jackasses setting off explosives.

My wife is looking for short D&D related videos to play FOR KIDS. So no cursing, no boring human sitting at a desk lectures, and nothing too violent. Can anyone suggest some YouTube channels? #DND #DungeonsAndDragons

I'm friends on Instagram with our co-op grocery store's weed drink buyer, and he was like "I saw you had a book signing a couple weeks back. Next time you're doing one, tell me, and I'll come!" and I am once again reminded you have to tell people about the things to have them know about it 😩

The argument in the second half of CH 5 of this book was so powerful it left me shaking. And it's only Ch 5, so it wasn't even that I was THAT invested in the characters when it started. Great work, Alex!

I know social media marketing is lame, but I'm not asking you to buy anything. I write Fantasy, Romantasy, Science Fantasy, and Dark Fantasy. And it's all free with no sign up required on my Patreon. ddwardiswriting.com

#QueerWritersChat Q5 I'm actively looking for editing clients/projects this fall! Need an editor who also understands how hard writing can be with ADHD and time management? ottersediting.com

#QueerWritersChat Q5 Thank you for the chat!! My books are still half off for the Itch Summer Sale! Check it out! itch.io/s/189390/sum...

#QueerWritersChat Thinking about this more, I should give Vil more credit. He is NEVER late for hockey practice or work, never burns the stuff he's constantly cooking, and can time tea perfectly without a timer. Despite having enough ADHD he literally cannot stand still for more than three seconds.

#QueerWritersChat Book 1 of the Songs of Niaretya follows an ice elemental athlete, an artist / social worker with healing magic, and someone deported to an elven world she'd never visited. None of them are great at time management except when baking or making tea. andybrokaw.com/harmony/

#QueerWritersChat Set timers. Some of mine as so I do AT LEAST so much of a thing and others are so that I don't do MORE THAN so much of a thing, but they all help me stay on task. Note: the timer doesn't have to be a stopwatch. It can be "this podcast episode" or "until dinner is ready" or such.

#QueerWritersChat Vanya. She's really into schedules and doesn't get easily distracted by unscheduled things. She's only a lead in Book 2 of the series so far, but she's around in all of them, frequently trying to get the people she loves to stay on task for five rotting minutes...

#QueerWritersChat I'm lucky enough that my partners make sufficient money I don't need to wo0rk outside of the home. Even being the only person in the house who does chores and having a lot of health issues, I can typically put aside four hours every weekday and defend them as writing time.

#QueerWritersChat Hi! I'm Andy, an agender asexual panromantic working on redrafting a novel about a birdman scholar, a catboy bard, and a shadow elemental bartender fighting to be with each other and to free rare magical creatures from experimentation by a corporation owned by one of their exes.

This is by far the most popular social media post I have ever made. She did eventually move though.

#QueerPrompts I'm Andy, an agender, asexual panromantic. My current WIP is The Melody of Shining Stars, a polyamorous romantasy about a shadow elemental bartender, a catboy bard, and a raven-winged scholar exploring true love and rescuing rare magical critters from corporate experiments.

#QueerPrompts Like a flying saucer type of thing? I think the universal response would be, "What a creatively shaped sky boat!"

This is still going on :)

Novi doesn't care my break's supposed to be over and disagrees about me *needing* to return to my computer. She has no plans to relinquish her pillow (AKA me) and is unwilling to consider making them.

OMG! Yes! It is awesome! If you're the kind of person who's friends with me, you're likely to enjoy it.

I made both my hourly and word count goals for June. Huzzah! Now, anyone want to bet on if I can relax for the rest of the day rather than trying to write more? I'm already at 4.5k today, so paying attention to my spouses is definitely what I SHOULD be doing now... #WritingCommunity @QueerWriters

I have finally picked up Sweet & Wild. I'm about halfway through and so far it has been very sweet indeed.

Note to self: Hallow and hollow are very different words and not at all interchangeable. #WritingTips

Jill started wearing a badge to work showing her anger status. Green meant fine. Pink, irritable. Coral, #disgruntled. Orange, enraged. Red, murderous. Mid-conversation she slowly switched from pink to red. But Dave kept talking. That’s all I can tell you, officer. #vss365

Friends, I present an ideal (for me) summer's day on my mountain. A friend talked me into taking a chair lift up a slope despite me not being dressed for the rain. It was nice. (Photo is me and the spouse who isn't terrified of chair lifts.) #SnoqualmiePass #MountainLife #SummitWest

#QueerWritersChat Q5 Thank you for the chat! 💛 I'm in the Itch Summer Sale and all my work is 50% there! Check it out! itch.io/s/189390/sum...

#QueerWritersChat My smut is half off in the #itchio summer sale! itch.io/s/191714/siz... The Mistress of Rosehorn Hall is not part of the sale; it's in the Queer Enough Book Blast for free until tonight! www.queerenoughbookblast.com And pick up Rock the Boat tomorrow! #QueerWriters #writesky

#QueerWritersChat 5: My cute dystopian-utopian sci-fi shorts are in this bundle right now! itch.io/b/3669/we-ex... My latest release is Gems and Star Flowers, a mostly cozy sci-fi alien romance: books2read.com/gemsandstarflowers

#QueerWritersChat Book 1 in the Songs Of Niaretya series is 50% off on itch right now! Harmony is a light-hearted polyamorous romantasy about reunited exes and the ice elemental they both love learning to communicate and fighting for democracy. frazzled-hedgehog.itch.io/the-harmony-...

#QueerWritersChat Both for reading and writing, I'm big on sarcasm, satire, and humorous wordplay, typically excluding puns unless they're unusually clever. For consumption, I'm also into parody. And my favorite author is Terry Pratchett.

#QueerWritersChat WIP has 3 MCs who would probably tell you their lives are already comedies. The books in this series aren't comedies per se, but they do have a enough humor in them for people to be constantly cracking jokes, experiencing light-hearted mishaps, and committing comedic shenanigans.

#QueerWritersChat Books I read routinely make me laugh and sometimes make me cry. So do the ones I write, although if they make me cry it's typically because they're being sweet and only sometimes because I've been really mean to someone.

#QueerWritersChat Hiya! I'm Andy, an agender asexual polyamorous writer working on a polyamorous romance about a catboy, a birdman, and a shadow elemental working on being honest with each other while freeing a rare species of magic animals from illegal corporate experiments.

This is the kind of week where my computer spontaneity decides it can't see the wifi network as I'm logging in for my therapy appointment. But at least I own a tablet I could do the session on instead. (Talked about some kind of raw stuff. Might not get much done the rest of today.)

These books are pretty weird, in the best of ways. The author mentions ace rep, but I also remember pan rep. And whatever being romantically attracted to a sentient house is...

Winter's First Verse has a cover now! It's from the same artist I worked with for Harmony, Cat Psychic (ko-fi.com/cat_psychic), and I love it to absolute bits! What do you think? Would you keep one of these cute creatures as a pet? Because I certainly would! #CoverReveal #FantasyCreatures

I feel very observed. #cats #blackcats

Ah. The state of my birth has caught up with 1974. Good?

I wrote a little review of Jess Mahler's novel Planting Life in a Dying. The abridged version is that it's a cozy and heartwarming tale of found family and polyamory in an agender society. I quite enjoyed it! andybrokaw.com/planting-life/ @jessmahler.bsky.social #PolyamBooks

The Summer Solstice is one of the worst days of the year for me. I'm allergic to sunlight and the lack of being awake in the dark really gets to me. BUT I know the overabundance of daylight will start getting better now. Even if the heat is still getting worse... And that's something to cling to.

I have thrice today typed 'handle' when I meant to type 'hand'. I have no idea what this says about my state of mind.

Celebrate Pride with some deeply gay magical girls (and an incredibly charming agender hacker)

My spouse just had me call her phone. She'd thrown it in the kitchen trash. That could have gone a LOT worse, but she's certainly gained a massive lead in the Family Oospie Competition.

I managed to hang out a little at the party, though I stuck to a corner and mostly just talked to my daughter. She was technically a guest. :) Today I've gotten all the dishes used cleaned and put away. Am tired, but having a nice mostly laze day now that cleanup's done.

just a reminder that all my eBooks are free on my website! snatch up some trans as fuck, queer, angry, robot books from a trans, disabled indie author. constelisvoss.com/collections/... reskeets appreciated. tysm. 💗 #writingcommunity #booksky
