I am 100% a fake Knicks fan but my friend (real Knicks fan) and I are making plans tonight to go yell at tiny large men on a big screen with a tall drink for a short time a little bit later

A man who rides my dick is called your dad

All these service-shillers and fake book marketers want to help me "grow with confidence" as an author but what if I want to grow with something more interesting Like, come back when you can help me grow with malice, or

I'm a little 😳 to post smutty snips two days in a row but I do have "nectar" and it's the only instance Space scoundrels Anora and Jayro are...well, they aren't having FEELINGS (yuck!) that's for sure in the cockpit of the Helle Wanderer A 🌶️ semi-spicy 🌶️ snip! #WIPSnips #SFF #Romance

Not me writing about this Leviathan

Episode 1 of the Philosopher Queens is here! Our story begins with both Katie and Kyle finding each of their work situations upended and unknown futures ahead. This sets them on a path to meeting and completely changing each other's lives. #Romancelandia #WriteSky walkerharris.net/phlqueens/in...

You can't just post stuff from my WIP romance novel without my permission

My parents have acquired some new art with a fun and less cursed backstory than the Haunted Children (Mom says they put The Children in the backyard and they make her nervous when she goes out there 😆) This one bought at a flea market from the artist: "My neighbors who I'm glad moved out"

power to the tail

Anora and Jayro, disaster bisexual hyperspace smugglers, have an intimate moment aboard the Helle Wanderer while docked at a spaceport Jayro is Head Empty, No Thoughts Anora is Head Full, All Thoughts Dream team 🙄 Anora, turn your goddamn brain off! A 🌶️ spicy 🌶️ snip! #WIPSnips #SFF #Romance

What I don't get is up until literally five years ago, authors illustrated and promoted pieces without AI images and video It's not something you "need" to use cause you "can't" otherwise do it. If you can't afford, can't find, or can't use the non AI resources available Do something else?? Like??

It’s a ticklish business, but must be done, or else it’s no go.

HAPPY PRIDE, Y'ALL!!! This month is so much to so many of us. A protest, wrath month, a time to bask in the warmth of our 2SLGBTQIA+ joy. Most of all, it's a time to remember the queer & trans folks who have come before us, who paved the way for us through countless battles. May we do the same.

But don't be using AI jfc

wearing a hat to the barbecue is a fun way to find out who in the extended friend group suddenly doesn't recognize you cause you've changed your usual silhouette (it doesn't happen often but it's funny that it happened twice today)

not with that attitude, herman

Whenever I see people, myself included, struggling with comps, I just remember there are no new stories under or beyond the sun

A short description of my favorite room on the hyperspace smuggling ship Helle Wanderer. The whole ship is built out in my mind from this room, and because I start imagining romances from the Big Love Scene, Jayro and Anora's love story is constructed outwards from this room as well 😉 #WIPSnips

admire and model thyself after the whale! Do thou, too, remain warm among ice. Do thou, too, live in this world without being of it.

The beginning of summer is officially marked in my friend group by the 1st ~monthly Wanderhome picnic where we bring a picnic to Central Park and play the TTRPG Wanderhome under a tree Anyway catch me in the park pretending to be a melancholy mouse today! BTRPG? Blanket-top role playing game?

Herman Melville, astrology girlie

We went to a big MTA (New York City Subways and Transit) office today for an emergency call and it just looked like a normal office 😭

Who wants to watch Princess Diaries with me? No, not you! I don't even KNOW you!

Thank you, everyone who urged me to do my organic chemistry homework this semester and cheered me on

tonight...a tennis ball? bouncing about?

He looked like a man who had never cringed and never had had a creditor.

If I did a series of posts/videos/whatever for authors about how to work with indie bookstores, what would you all want to know? #booksky

Yes, these eyes are windows, and this body of mine is the house. What a pity they didn’t stop up the chinks and the crannies though

If you're like me, you've been practicing your Author Signature since you were a very young person in preparation for book signings Despite years of work, however, I can never get it to "look cool". I think I'll eventually hire someone to design one for me! 😂

Coria, a human space aristocrat, is 6 years old & about to meet Rune, the outerworlder son of a palace employee, her soon-to-be childhood sweetheart & eventual great, tragic star-crossed lover #WIPSnips #ForbiddenRomance #TouchHerAndSHEdies But 1st, oodles of sweetness! The current opening line:

the best thing about being done with the semester is I'm finally free to book tickets to go see my partner who has been stuck overseas due to recent fascist US immigration changes since March 😭

Read Grand Guignol and Harvest last week... What should I read tonight?

My mother asked if she could read my book and I told her yes, but I am going to put sticky notes over the sexy bits and she goes "You know, I could just take those off..." "Yes, I know but then I can pretend you aren't reading them." "...you know *Dad* and I could probably write--" "Mommmmmm!!"

I got pimple patches that have little rhinestones on them and suddenly I am understanding what those 17th century fashionistas were on about

so that all deified Nature absolutely paints like the harlot, whose allurements cover nothing but the charnel-house within

I've started relating "something my friend told me" to my mother and she goes "that's so true", "I relate to that", "I might start doing that", etc and it's just stuff I've read on the internet about what it feels like to be autistic but I file the autism off and suddenly it's really good advice 😆

So!! Grief Eater is out on Monday!! (Tuesday for the US, sorry, we beat you to it!) (Also if you haven’t seen my cover, holy shit, thank you Dante Luiz 🖤) I’d love to answer some questions, please AMA 🥰

Very good question. Yes, the sleep paralysis demon is a projection of you and cannot harm you. However, the Hat Man is a real demon who wishes you ill.

There have been sleep paralysis studies showing mirror neurons active when a sleeper reports a sleep paralysis demon. It's hypothesized these images are the brain's way of coping with not being able to feel its body, literally creating an image of a body for itself The sleep paralysis demon is you

The thing that's the most annoying about this stretch of cool, moody, grey, rainy weather is I haven't been able to take advantage of it and write 😭 I've been stuck studying for exams 😢 Please, work on your manuscript for me. Don't worry about me. Go on and be free

Last night my friend was saying how they had their house broken into and some electronics were stolen but the truly diabolical thing was The burglars took their whole dice collection 😭

Me, when my buddy's on their bullshit again

Here comes the tickle monster!

When you put your zip code in at online checkout and the city and state get filled in automatically

Around a decade ago, I got mad at someone calling Dungeons and Dragons "just a medieval combat simulateur" (he had a great French accent) cause I felt it to be "so much more than that 😡" But with time comes wisdom and I realize now we were both wrong for the same reason
