I sat down with a 675 page book last night and read a little over 100 pages in one sitting. There’s something about reading an actual hardcopy of a book that ignites the writer in me.

This day wasn’t anything some dumplings and an order of Szechuan beef wouldn’t fix.

Y’all pray for my husband’s family. A handful of them have found out I don’t cook Thanksgiving for MAGA and my MIL isn’t afraid to hurt their feelings, either. 🤣😂

A bee got trapped in the car with us today, and I calmly and carefully guided it to the window with a cupped hand. Once it was outside and the window was up, my husband mumbled, “I’m about sick of your compassion shit.” 🤣😂

I swear I’m trying to give good news to my readers, but behind the scenes technical issues are preventing it for the time being. 😭🤣

Unless it’s a texture/neurodivergent issue, I don’t trust meat eaters who dislike chicken pot pie.

Jacob Michaels, er, Rob Wagner, is tired of Hollywood. He’s come home to his Oma’s house in Ohio to rest, relax, and recover. Oma’s house isn’t quite as he remembered, but then again, can he trust his memories? #LGBTQIA #paranormalromance mybook.to/JMIOmnibus

Bullies and narcissists want you to be scared to defend yourself. If you’re not speaking the truth, they can keep controlling the narrative. Sticking up for yourself is hard and sometimes dangerous. But the consequences of remaining silent will haunt you for a lifetime.

Me (recommending yerba mate tea to a friend): It looks like a UTI and tastes the way I assume piss tastes. But you should totally drink it. They say it has beneficial qualities. But again…pee.

You know who hasn’t tried to invalidate my feelings and experiences as a gay man this weekend? Other gay men.

Honestly, there should be 2 M/M genre categories. MM Romance and MM Romance written by women for women.

If I was Charlie Bucket’s mother, boiling laundry 18 hours a day and eating cabbage water for dinner, I would have thrown hands the second Grandpa Joe’s ass stood up from that bed.

Happy Halloween 🎃

Walked in on my husband in the pantry picking marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms box and stuffing them in his mouth like a gremlin. He saw me and growled in a shamed panic, “DON’T LOOK AT ME!” and I’ve never laughed harder in my life.

You’ve never truly known fear until a child comes to stand in front of you, finger in their nose, and stares intensely at you while they keep digging for a full minute. Eventually…that finger is coming out. And you are too close…

Haunted house but it’s muscle head fitness coach dudes with ✝️ in their bios trying to sell you supplements and cheap tank tops in their online merch store in between posting thirst traps on X.

Anytime my husband gets snippy with me, I ask, “Quick question. Who do YOU think you’re talking to?” and then he laughs and the fight is over.

I can’t start writing a story unless I know the ending. It might change once shit gets real…but I need to have a destination in mind.

RPIP (random person in public): Did you know Chicago ships in raccoons to control the rat population? Me: …did you know that’s not true and a quick Google search would have told you so? If you want real facts about rac— My Husband: *pulling me away*

We have a new rule in this house that we're not allowed to watch movies I've seen raved about on Instagram reels. We've been burned too many times. Influencers will just recommend anything nowadays...

Being an American Midwesterner, it means you know what someone means when they say, "Pick up a rack of Pabst," even if you do not really drink. It also means being equally aware of the shame you should feel for hearing that phrase far too often. 🤣😂

Saturday came and went and I wasn't able to drop the good news I wanted on #ChaseConnorBooks. 😭 It's coming...I swear!

Being dominated in bed sounds like a fun (possibly a new/experimental) activity, until it starts, your partner starts giving you orders, and you remember you ain’t no bitch and nobody tells you what to do.

YES PLUTOTV I KNOW COPS HAS BEEN PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND FOR 5 HOURS IT HELPS ME WRITE I DON’T NEED YOU JUDGING ME ASKING IF I’M STILL WATCHING!

People don’t talk enough about how disabilities drive innovations that benefit more than disabled people. Like audiobooks. Originally for low-vision/blind people. And EVERYONE benefited. Accommodating the disabled = everyone benefits in some way.

My favorite coffee place was having technical issues this morning and I want to know why God chose to smite me on this Friday in particular.

Some exciting (I hope) info dropping on #ChaseConnorBooks on Saturday…

Stop telling gay men how to feel about books about gay men especially those written by people who are not gay men. For reference: A Little Life.

“Go eat a dick!” makes an argument between two married gay men end differently than it would in other situations.

If you have a minor car accident, take it to the body shop, and the workers says, “DAMN! when he sees it, that’s good, right?

That one twink (who doesn't know-or bother to learn-anything about LGBTQIA+ history) on the internet who "gave you permission" to use the word "f*g," when you yourself are not a gay man, lied to you. You will get your shit rocked out in these streets. I really wish my fellow gays would stop this.

Everyone always assumes I’m straight. Until I get mad and say something like, “Where’s my pocketbook!? I’m leaving!!” I don’t have a pocketbook.

Having a partner who is not only supportive, but enthusiastic, about your work is the best feeling in the world. These partners will also ask, “When can I read it?!?” after you’ve written 3 *rough* chapters. It’s not okay to hoof them in the crotch. Be grateful and patient.

There's nothing better than starting a new novel and thinking "Oh, yeah. This is the shit. This is why I write." as your fingers fly over the keys.

Me: *carrying a spider to the backdoor on a piece of cardboard* I know it’s nice inside little guy, but outside is your home. Don’t come back. I might not be the one to find you next time. Husband: (from the other room) Are you saving bugs from their rightful punishment again?!?

The first rule of The First Wives' Club is we talk openly and loudly about the patriarchy, how it has ruined the lives of everyone but straight white men, and how it needs to be dismantled any way possible.

The only flaw in The First Wives’ Club is that Stockard Channing isn’t in it more.

Me: (out with my friend, getting our hair cut) *talking to stylist* Which Chinese place is best? Which one has the very best food? Stylist: (who I know well) Word on these streets is you’ll eat anything. My Friend: (from across the salon) HE GOT YO’ ASS!

I got up and showered today and now people are expecting things of me. That’s how they get you. The getting up part.

Me: *getting into bed* I think this is the year we start collecting Christmas village pieces. We’ve been talking about it for 3 years. It’s time. Husband: Agreed. But you know we have to have sex now to prove we’re not an old married couple. Me: My plan worked perfectly!

Me: (getting off the phone with the bank) Is today a holiday? The bank says so! Husband: It’s Columbus Day. Me: *hiss* Trump’s America. Husband: It came before Trump. Me: *hisses* Colonization and racism! Husband: There ya’ go.

Pinterest gave me a community violation for RE-PINNING this cross-stitch pattern another person pinned. A cross-stitch pattern, folks. That site has gotten Puritanical and full of ads...
