One of my early beta readers complained that I had a nonbinary vampire character (even though I write explicitly queer books) because it wasn't realistic for 1948. 1/3

Went to London a couple of weeks ago to throw my mum in the river (it's what she would've wanted), and visited The Prospect of Whitby, a pub on the Thames that is more than twice as old as the U.S. It's where I set the opening scene of Two Souls & a Pocket Watch, a MM Victorian vampire romance.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

I went on a school trip to the British Museum when I was a kid, and I asked my history teacher why there was so much Egyptian stuff there, and why it wasn't in Egypt, and that was the day I learned what empire and paternalism meant.

Feeling appreciated today. I have a few free books in my shop, and today, I got another tip and a note of thanks. I know not everyone is in a position to do this, and I appreciate all my readers, but I cannot deny it gave me the warm & fuzzies.

FB is free, which means we're the product. Meta is making money from us while making it okay to abuse us. My reader group is there, and my advertising options are severely limited without it, but I don't want to stay. For me this is turning into a case of having principles vs having food π

Sir, yours is a social and political agenda. Taking social messaging out of a game is a political choice. Why can't they just be honest about who they're really trying to appeal to? Chef's kiss goes to the author of the article for the top notch shade slinging π§βπ³π

I have one scene left of this story, and I don't think I'll quite reach 100k, but that was never the point. The point: one month, one book. For those who don't know, my writing mojo went walkies for about 18 months, and I thought I'd forgotten how to do this shit. As ever, celebrating with cake.

If you're looking for reasonably priced, one-time payment options to replace Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, try Affinity Photo and Designer. Like most people, I played around with AI when it first came out, but it's costing us too much. And by us, I don't just mean creatives; I mean humanity.
