Sharyn Alfonsi is a real journalist. Bari Weiss is a cowardly debate-lord hack

Your daily reminder to cheer up. Everything on the internet is bullshit. You are missing out on nothing. #socialmedia #musing

Just got paid for my first ever print book sale, in October. It's a smutty friends-to-lovers romance about roommates. So if every roommate buys a copy for their roommate, as a 'joke' Christmas gift, the royalties will add up. #indieauthor #amwriting

Well, now I need Military Erotica with Dirigibles.

Kindle Unlimited subscribers: The 20th is the last day to read "Free Market Audrey: Billionaire Roommate Roleplay" . It's a very spicy 24-hour MF roleplay exercise by FWBs, in a bad NYC apartment, with bad jokes. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FS25MZ9V #erotica #romance

Writing an erotic short, so you know what that means! Time to research what style of architecture is used for Aspen luxury ski chalets! #amwriting #smut

I just created a BookWyrm account. It seems to be like Goodreads, for keeping track of books that you read, but run by leftists, so probably cool. I'll still be on Mastodon, Bluesky, Goodreads, and BookBub, too. bookwyrm.social/user/Michael... #books #booksky #romance #erotica #romancelandia

Goodreads is owned by one of the wealthiest companies in history, a company which runs most of the web servers for other massive sites, and yet Goodreads loads like I'm on 14.4k dialup trying to download a Sailor Moon midi wav file in my rural basement in 1996.

Today is Jane Austen's 250th birthday! If you wish there'd been queer characters in the originals, check out my Austentatious series, beginning with THE UNLIKELY PURSUIT OF MARY BENNET. I murdered Mr Collins off in the first line so that Charlotte Lucas can have a 2nd chance at happiness. (thread)

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

Because God forbid I can just put a book in my pocket.

"I can't afford to support my favorite author right now, I—" Reviews. Reviews are free AND they are a gift to authors that can keep on giving (i.e., exposure, marketing, algo boosts, etc.) Please, give the gift of reviews to your authors this holiday season. It really can make a difference!

Disney apparently found the one copyright infringer it doesn't want to sue into oblivion.

"She must do that thing her town has done every year since its founding. It could be a tree-lighting ceremony, an ice skating rink for people who knew each other in high school, or a pie-making contest hosted by a charming old man who keeps asking her why she’s not married yet."

Watched Amélie for the first time in about a decade. It’s still wonderful. ❤️

If you see your favourite indies, especially those who are wide or avoid Amazon, raise their prices... We all just had two emails in less than 24h: - Smashwords is cutting down its royalty rates, especially at lower price points - Ingramspark is raising most of its printing costs again

Porn was only ever the cover. In half the country, these laws now effectively mandate facial scans to access any material deemed "harmful to minors" by the state attorney general or a conservative parent. What they passed is much, much broader than people generally realized.

I named my fists Hercule and Poirot because they’re about to be covered in someone’s little grey cells. …also because I prefer to sit in an armchair and let my burly sidekick actually do the physical work.

I don't like to read my grief books for school alone at home because they're all about death and grief, so I like to read them in places where people are alive like coffee shops or bars

My family has enough sense to reject Trump so every Thanksgiving I'm forced to start fights by talking shit about my mom's stuffing

Why I love Bluesky? Huh. That's a really thoughtful post. Wow. She's able to handle that massive dildo really well. Heh. Alf. Oh, that's a great book rec. Is that...? Oh, yeah, that's a dick. Oooo Long read on video game history? Yes and thank you! Ah, boobs. Lovely boobs.

For all my #writingcommunity mutuals out there— Which platform is best to monetise #erotica writing? I already have Patreon, but I'm wondering about Substack and Medium? And are there others I'm missing? I'm thinking short stories as opposed to longer works. Thank you! ❤️ #NSFWwriting #NSFW

My filthy little story that pokes fun at billionaires got removed from Amazon searches. Last chance to read it on Kindle Unlimited, before I end the Kindle exclusives for the Audrey series. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FS25MZ9V #erotica #romance #romancelandia #books #booksky

Last chance to try the Problematic Audrey series for free on KU. Book 2 got "dungeoned" (because it mocked billionaires?), so I'm ending the Kindle exclusive, at end of December. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B... #erotica #romance #romancelandia #books #booksky

The story in your mind vs. the story you write

Our dystopian future is looking light, bright, and just a touch whimsical.

Taboo erotica with a twist. Can pain be healing? Can loss bring wholeness? Can submission yield control. Abandon your expectations and dive into the warped imagination of Riley Rose's untethered sexual desire. #writing #Dolcett #femdom #castration #book #author #literature author.to/rileyrosewriter

Please nobody do this. Unless you're on VERY close, intimate terms with them. And also FYI: your thoughts are not in need of policing. Think whatever you want. It doesn't affect the world around you unless you choose to take action on it.

Let’s talk about MMCs… When I write romance, his best attributes are between his ears. When I write erotica, his biggest asset is… …right where it needs to be. ✌️🍆💦

Been recovering from the spinal issue enough to go walking around the community again. And always being grateful for having married the best person I've ever met. I can't imagine facing life's endless challenges without her at my side. <3
