Today is Indie Bookstore Day, which makes it a great time to remind Toronto area folks that you can get signed copies of both Woman of Sorrow and Blood & Killer Debt at @littleghostsbooks.bsky.social and @thebookpeople.ca!

I passed Adult 1!

#CampRevPit #CharacterFlaw #CRPBeeMine In The Games of Love, Genevieve Cartier’s biggest flaw is easily her temper — and it nearly ended her skating career after a Kiss & Cry reaction at the 2022 Olympics that makes Ashley Wagner look stoic by comparison.

I don’t post much about basketball on here, but LeBron throwing an alley-oop to Bronny in a playoff game is some Hollywood shit.

#CampRevPit #CRPBeeMine #CRPSirens Ooh, I’m crashing TWO cabins today! Don’t worry, I’ll bring Girl Scout Cookies… and a snippet of the Only One Bed moment from The Games of Love (pun title!) (And yes, it is both slow burn and instalove simultaneously, trust me)

#FaveLineFriday in which I unwittingly turned one of my side characters into Karen from “Mean Girls” #amwriting

#CampRevPit #DialogueDrop #CRPBeeMine Dialogue is easily my favorite thing to write, so much so that I always have to go back and add interiority later. I had a lot of snippets to choose from in The Games of Love, so let’s go with this one after Aiden had to help Gen off the ice…

7. Finally, now more than ever, this means that the LGBTQ+ community as a whole must stand up and fight for the trans people in federal prisons and their access to healthcare. As Trump's actions show, our right to healthcare depends on it.

1. The Trump admin is preparing to ban gender-affirming care for trans adults. Recently, it started defending its anti-trans prison policies by arguing care for trans adults can be banned because it isn’t healthcare. It's a test case for a nationwide ban. transitics.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

#CampRevPit #VillainVoices #CRPBeeMine The Games of Love: “okay, so Genevieve ‘Ice Trash’ Cartier thinks she deserves to skate with Aiden Miller even though she’s a total bitch. He might fall for her, but I’ll make sure the world doesn’t fall for their lie about their marriage.”

If only there were a more succinct way to say “3 hrs and 60 mins”…

#CampRevPit #OneLineMC #CRPBeeMine I have two WIPs and they’re both dual POV, so you get FOUR MCs today (no DJs tho) First up, Beth, a supporting character in The Ice Between Us who gets her story in Iced Out, though she still doesn’t feel like she has main character energy…

In perhaps the weirdest “the world is so tiny” interaction I’ve had in a while, I went to a book release event tonight for an author who shares my agent, which I knew. Turns out she’s also married to someone whose office is about 20 feet from my desk at work and with whom I’ve had many meetings.

I want someone to pay me to write a modern day reboot of ProStars, except instead of an NBA, NHL and MLB/NFL player it’s Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito.

The #WIPSnips word for April 21st is “deal” I haven’t shared a snip in far too long, but now that I’m back in drafting mode, here’s an early look into Beth’s insecurities and self-doubt (bordering on self-hatred due to childhood trauma that we’ll get to later…)

#CampRevPit #CampMap (using skating metaphors) For The Games Of Love, my program is finished and I’m reviewing the protocol sheets to see where the judges dinged me. For Iced Out, I know what elements will be in the program, but I’m still working out the choreography and choosing the music.

FYI for #figureskating fans in/near Colorado: There will be a "Toast to Milan" event next month hosted by Adam Rippon featuring the entire US Olympic figure skating team. Tickets are $75. Meet-and-greet is $50 extra.

Every time I’m not sure what figure skating video to post on IG, someone retires or ends their partnership. What I’m saying is I need to do a better job planning content to prevent these things from happening.

This is such a basic bitch answer, but I’m such a basic bitch: Avengers: Endgame But only if I can be in a theater of people who’ve also seen the entire MCU up to that point and have also had their memories of Endgame erased.

#CampRevPit #CampKickoff It’s me, your second-favorite camp crasher (@jademasonwrites.bsky.social should be your favorite). A little bit about me: I crashed the Damselflies cabin last year, got amazing help with my novel, and ended up signing with an agent at the end of January…

Funny story: I crashed #CampRevPit last year and ended up meeting my closest writing friends, without whom I wouldn’t have survived this journey. So I might have to crash @jademasonwrites.bsky.social’s cabin this year (I’ll bring s’mores)

Dean and his girlfriend want to explore polyamory, but Dean isn’t out as bisexual so it would be a terrible idea to choose the housemate of someone from Dean’s acting class as a third. Unless the housemate is really cute and funny and they both like him a lot… #PosterPit #Q #A #NA #R
