This is heartbreaking and appalling. Do better.

My parents are probably mourning the death of James Dobson today, but I wouldn’t know for sure because I haven’t spoken to them in two decades.

While I wait for my final copy edits so we can send this out on sub, I’d love to share it with a few beta readers. If this sounds like something you want to read and you have time to read in the next two weeks, please reply or send me a DM!

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

Looking forward to dropping something new Friday! 👀

THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY! DVPIT was the start of my querying journey and I had such a great experience with it. So happy to see this returning.

When Lucy is blindsided by a public proposal, her answer splits the future into dual realities. In one her refusal goes viral, and she becomes the internet villain of the week. But is that better or worse than agreeing to marry someone you don’t really love? #P2Ppit #AW #WIP

The joy I feel donating my kids outgrown clothes and toys suddenly morphs into grief when it’s books we are purging. What do you mean you never want to read that story again? If we pass this down, how will I remember the sound of your baby voice reciting along as I read? 😭

Hey #booksky - My 12yo is begging YA dystopian romance recs. She loves Hunger Games and The Selection but was not a fan of Divergent. She wants strong female MCs and plots heavy on romance. Series preferred because she reads so quickly. She dislikes fantasy but loves myth/fairy tale reimaginings.

Just watched a kid sneeze into her hand and then high five her entire swim team. Happy holidays, parents!

I’m going to start putting this together tonight! Comment below if you want to be included!

Hey #writingcommunity — if I created a starter pack for agented authors currently on sub or planning to go on sub in the near future, would anyone be interested in that?

Alright! Started working on a literary agent starter pack on here, for all my writer friends out there! Follow along and see what folks are looking for. go.bsky.app/EFopcRo

When your kids desperately want an “I Survived” book series themed birthday party, but there’s no official merch…

Me: I’m going to get so much writing done while my kids are gone today. Also me:

How You Get the Girl is a must read for anyone who loves sapphic romance! Snag this one while it's on sale!

✅ coffee ✅ laptop ✅ music ✅ timer for sprints It’s day two of my at home writing retreat. How many words do we predict I can hammer out today?

Day one of my four-day at-home writing bootcamp is over, and I wrote a grand total of 8,365 words over three writing sessions. Was hoping to hit 10K, but I think my brain needs a rest if I'm going to do this again tomorrow. #writingcommunity

Announcing #BluePit! The first BlueSky exclusive writing pitch event open to all genres! Much of the #WritingCommunity is migrating due to Twitter's new AI & block policy, so the time has come to bring pitch events with us. Agent participation is welcome & public feeds will be provided!

Oh, hello 🦋. It’s been awhile. I’m still over at the other place, but I’ll try to be more active here too since it looks like so many of you are moving over here. If you are a writer, reader or publishing pro, feel free to follow here whether or not we’re connected elsewhere!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a sapphic/queer writers group on discord? And/or a discord for writers going on sub early next year? Sapphfic | lesfic | writing community | romancelandia

Moodboards are hard! These are totally new to me, so I'd love any feedback or constructive criticism! #moodpitch #writingcommunity #sapphfic #authors #romancelandia

Any authors here participating in #moodpitch? I'll be pitching here and on the bird app, and would love to bulk of my support swap list! #sapphfic #lesfic #romancelandia #writingcommunity

Tuesday at 11pm, I wasn't even going to do #DVpit. I was just going to watch and learn. By Thursday I had six hearts from agents and a request from a big five editor to send it on submission. Today I got my first full request. Sometimes that ADHD impulsivity pays off. ;)

Went into DVpit thinking it would be a rehearsal for pitch writing, not expecting any responses. Wound up with six invites to query and interest from a Big Five editor. Thrilled but panicking a bit. Anyone willing to read my query/synopsis before I start sending? Sapphfic | authors | romancelandia

My pitch: Mara is Cassie’s dream come true—literally. Who expects to fall in love with the actress who was their gay awakening in college? But Mara’s stuck in a glass closet trying to save her dying career. And Cassie’s afraid she and her kids are just guest stars in Mara’s midlife crisis.

It’s National Coming Out Day, and I’m over on #DVpit pitching my sapphic romance about a middle aged actress figuring out how to shatter her closet and claim the life she’s always wanted. ❤️🌈

Went into #DVpit telling myself I was just doing this for practice, and I should not expect to get any agent interest. But I already have two hearts from agents! Trying not to spin out over here. Good luck getting me to focus on work today. ;) Sapphfic | romancelandia | authors

Interesting how I absolutely could not get enough of lesfic age gap stories when I was in my 20s. But now that I’m…old enough to be the older member of the age gap trope, I read those stories like 😬😳🙈 Curious whether that will change at some point, or if age gap only works one way for me.

Anybody participating in #DVPit this weekend? Holy crap it’s hard to describe a whole book in 280 characters! Lesfic Sapphfic writingcommunity authors romancelandia

Back at the field tonight reading this locker room scene like 😍😳 while some dad on the bleachers next to me reads his Bible.

This week my kids have four baseball/softball games, three practices, two ninja clinics and a ninja competition. Time to break out a new book to read during warmups and practices so I don’t expire of boredom! I’ve been saving this one, and suddenly I’m excited to get to the field early!

Today’s nature friend. 🐛❤️
