boy, when they said facebook was going to suppress queer shit, they were NOT joking, and I now have the graphs to show it

Someone told me to research a legal issue on chaptGPT this week. “I mean, it’s not a lie generating machine.” “It is actually a lie generating machine though…” “Well it made me feel better.” Bruh

The eternal of struggle of remembering to get characters with glasses to take off their glasses before fucking. #writerlife

I'm sorry, what do you mean that the thing my ears physically do that causes discomfort is just, like, something you want me to solve with therapy??? How am I gonna therapy my inner ear muscles into behaving????????

Me editing a single line of text in affinity publisher 😭

Bonus sneak peek chapter hitting inboxes as we speak! Enjoy 😉

Tomorrow I'm sending out an exclusive preview of my next book, "Wild Fixation." It's the next book in the Rebel Rockstars #mmromance series. If you want that preview, there's only ONE way to get it, and that's by joining my newsletter ▶️ sendfox.com/faraywrites #booksky #gayromance #indieauthor

It's such a shame that that one weird cult makes hands down the best herbal tea that's affordable enough to buy on the regular.

God, I love books. They look nice. They feel nice to hold. They smell nice. They’re the most fun cool thing humans do. They’re cheaper than most other forms of entertainment. Books, man. Books. #booksky #reading

First outdoor run in months. Getting very spring like here.

Got so much admin and outlining done today. We're cooking over here.

It’s nice going back to something I thought wasn’t great when I first wrote it and liking it way more during the editing process. #amediting #writerlife #booksky

Considering the amount of gay smut I produce, I'm gonna go with the priest from my small hometown Catholic church

I personally like the term “queer” as a self-identification, because it is an enthusiastic rejection of normalcy and assimilation. It conjures up Rocky Horror Picture Show type imagery that embraces being weird as hell, out loud and in public. It refuses to explain itself to others’ satisfaction.

lol the account just followed me Anyways, 10 of my mutuals are following this page, so in case you don’t know: This is a scammy business that doesn’t appear to get anyone results, and they’ve taken the handle/name of an awesome real account that spotlights indie books for free.

I think an overlooked thing about this Amazon boycott is that the people most likely/able to do it are probably more casual Amazon users. Someone with a subscription - say, a Kindle Unlimited subscription - is not a casual user, and they're a huge amount of the reader base for indies. #indieauthor

The pain of being on book TWO of a brand new series and being hit with an absolute banger on an idea for another series..................................

Indie authors, I easily found myself in this database, and I’m a *very* small author. You should check even if you think you’re too small to matter.

outlining is hard #amwriting

Incredible to charge me more for AI tools I didn’t ask for and don’t want

Thank you for the review 😭😭😭😭

It's amazing how Dems won't even just *not* vote. Like we have to call and beg them to do the absolute bare minimum.

If I’m ever in a position to do audiobooks, the narrator will be a properly paid human being. That I swear to you.

Hold the damn line on this, authors. I have dozens of books I can't turn into audio right now because I can't afford to pay a narrator, but I WILL NOT use AI to circumvent them. We all stand together or we all get cooked.

I was hoping to go overseas in a couple years. I’ve been studying another language and saving for it. But now that we’re at the “people disappearing” stage and with my passport having an “x” for gender, I’m really reconsidering it. What a nightmare country…

Is this an isolated issue? Has anyone else had an issue? There are no errors on my end, no angry emails, nothing I can see that would prevent pre-orders, so please let me know if this is a blip or something more widespread. #indieauthor #mmromance #booksky

⚠️And when I say "enemies to lovers," I do mean *actually* enemies. You've been warned. buy.bookfunnel.com/ur93ae94nf Art by @/arishnea #mmromance #enemiestolovers #booksky

All👏of👏this👏

i am seeing so many authors across socials post that it's been a terrible month/week for sales, some saying it's their worst ever, others saying they might have to quit publishing if this keeps up. and, like, i get all the nuance. i do. i'm only saying it sucks indies are being hit hard. :(

As an indie author who scheduled a release for way before this started going around social media: 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Authors: Check your email! BookBub is doing a survey about what we think about AI. Please consider going and telling them how unethical this technology is.

ARCs are gone but pre-orders are still open. Only a few days left! #booksky #indieauthor #mmromance

Y'all aren't really going to leave me with ONE arc, are you? Come on.

TWO LEFT! Don't be shy. If you've never read me before or you're on the fence or you might miss the March 11 deadline, that's okay. Book is still there for you!
