Convincing you to preorder Author, Author with quotes of Ben overthinking: Living people kept on living…Kept on thinking about everything they might have done differently, every choice they wish they could make again. Life wasn’t a story, it was a strip of film—single exposure, no edits. No mercy.

I'm trying to plan for the rest of the year, and for the first time since I started self-publishing, all but one of my planned book releases are already written. That's very comforting. I'm tired of being in a rush.

someone reboot the holodeck pls I am begging you 🙏 this simulation sucks

Dropping in just to remind everyone that you can preorder my next book Author, Author & have it in your hot lil hands in just over TWO WEEKS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH In other news, don’t let me write any more characters with anxiety for a while, I channel that shit. books2read.com/authorauthor...

What does your brain look like while editing?

I sat down to journal all the stressors that are making me bug out right now and the list was way shorter than I expected. Maybe I just need to drink less coffee.

I'm so tired... buy my books idk.

For a while I was "I'll stay on Threads to be a voice for my community" 🏳️‍🌈🥺✨ but seriously the LibGen shit is just so craven and pathetic that I don't know if I can give Meta any more of my free content. They've already stolen enough.

“Ru…is this all you’ll ever be? “It’s been good enough for you so far.” “There’s so much you’re denying yourself. I don’t mean socially, I mean here, in your heart.” “My heart is pickled.” “It’s not. You’re a good man, Ru.” “Then why is it so easy to be the worst?” #WIPsnips

After today I decided I never again want to waste my time arguing with cis gays about why supporting Harry Potter and the Queen of the TERFs is harmful, so I wrote a blog summarizing the whole thing. Please do share it widely instead of wasting yours.

So this went from under 1000 signatures to almost 3000 in a matter of days. Can we get it up to 10,000 by the end of this month? (Hells, why not this week?)

I once went to a conference about consent, and the one thing I never forget was when the presenter spoke about consent being *what the individual wants* and not what you think they want. True consent makes space for: "I hate everything that you're doing to me, don't ever stop."

In honor of National Werewolf Day, I'm having a flash sale on my direct sales store for my disaster gay shifters in love novella series Hollowood Falls. 4 books in one, only $1.99 (Canadian, which is like a buck and a quarter for my US friends) books.willforrest.com/HollowoodFal... 🌈👬📚

When you have #ADHD being an author can be exciting. A lot of ideas, things to do, stories to write...but it can also be too much. In this week's blog I talk about #AuDHD/#ADHD and neurodivergent overwhelm for authors. #WritingCommunity #SpoonieAuthor eponaauthorsolutions.com/living-as-an...

I just did a head count and all of the main characters and their close friends in Author, Author are either queer or trans or trusted allies. Even Harlan’s mom is unfazed by her son being gay, which is a lot for a story set in 1957. We have always been here! #QueerPrompts

“I pressed my eye to the knot hole and waited.” From a story Ben my MC is writing. Another ‘blue’ book for his pulp fiction press. I like starting books with a letter, a newspaper article, or other bit of writing. It's like a tight zoom that backs out to show the whole scene. #AskAnAuthor

Greetings! I am the author, blogger & general nuisance Will Forrest and I have a new book coming out Apr 23: Author, Author, a midcentury queer romance of love, loss, and the inalienable right to read dirty books. #QueerBookSky #QueerPrompts

My mother is a writer and I remember her early attempts at fiction. This influence simmered under the surface until we got our first computer in 1990. I wrote a bunch of terrible teenage stuff, then ignored writing for the next 20 years while I tried other things. Now its all I do. #AskAnAuthor

*to the tune of Piano Man* it’s six AM on a Saturday I’m looking for some way to stim when the urge comes upon me to clean my drawers I’ll quit when I’m halfway in la de-da-da-da-dah de-da-da etc. #ADHD

Challenge: not turning a basic communications task that takes ten minutes into a week of anxiety and procrastination Difficulty level: Impossible. #AuDHD

Just give Teen Vogue a Pulitzer already jfc Also: I hope this galvanizes a generation of young leftists to take up tax law as a career. Activism is possible at every level of society. Give them nowhere to hide.

Every now and then I think about this interaction I once had and I have to put down my phone and gaze out the window for a little.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

"The US media is rotten and broken. It has atrophied into a shameful clique of sycophantic stenographers who are are greedy for ratings over truth and facts. But now we will begin identifying journalism that deserves our support and curiosity. Below is a list." freewillastrology.com/beauty/archi...

Just found out that my favorite characters from one of my favorite authors are apparently terrible people, and that we’re maybe not supposed to be so rabidly in love with them, and how very dare they talk that way about my darling children? #BookSky

I am Team Truffle which honestly is so real: I too am strange, not to everyone's taste, and enjoy nestling beneath oak trees to be eventually dug up by pigs...wait...

It's cover reveal day! I really enjoyed writing this book, and I hope you enjoy reading it. You can grab it on pre-order now as well. #mmromance #vampireromance #slowburn #rivalstolovers #opera

me: this holiday was fun but I'm kind of ready to get back to work the work: me: 😶😫 #selfpublishing

Post your favorite #DoctorWho. Wrong answers only.

ON JANUARY 20TH, READ MLK! READ ABOUT THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT! READ ABOUT RECONSTRUCTION! READ ABOUT JIM CROW! You want to do something for the good of history? Do something constructive and learn from the ancestors.

Question: does anyone want to be a beta reader for my memoir? I'm afraid I can't pay anything besides my gratitude and a free copy when it's done. I'm looking for a couple of people right now.

NO GODS NO IDOLS Stop seeking extraordinary leaders and just do the damn work.

📣Deadline Extension! constellations is seeking managing editors with expertise in Black Rhetorics! The application deadline is now February 12th, 2025. 🔗https://constell8cr.com/call-for-managing-editors/constellations-is-seeking-applications-for-managing-editors-with-expertise-in-black-rhetorics/

The "second pair of eyes" doesn't have to be an editor. Yes, pro editors are amazing if you can afford it. A diligent beta reader (or two or three if you can find them) is a very good choice if funds are tight.

To all my new followers, particularly if you're here from my scathing political invective: buckle up, it's mainly butt stuff, AuDHD, and revolution over here. I am far to the left of liberal. And I have very little patience.

Post a female character you love.

As promised: please enjoy my steamy Regency Romance about two men who are painfully in love with each other but too stubborn/silly/scared to admit it. Kissing! Fighting! Dyslexia! Puffy Shirts! Bonus points for a righteous jackass getting knocked tf out. #Booksky bookhip.com/GBZTMLG

We as a civilization have got to stop looking to individual celebrities and artists as paragons of any kind of virtue. No one is coming to save us. Being good at art means nothing to me at this point. Be a decent person or get out of the way. TL:DR Burn your idols before they topple onto your head.

AI bros have confused process with product. They believe the point of every process is the end product and not the process itself. The point of music is not to end up with a salable commodity. The point of music is the making. We made music for 1000s of years before anyone "wrote" a "song."

Will I break 1000 followers by the end of this bus ride? I'll share a link for a free ebook when I do. A smoochy #gay #Romance could be yours if you act now! Why pay more for 🍑 stuff when you can get it here for free? 😉

This is your new assignment. if you're looking for ways to pass the time on Jan 20, why not write some letters to major news outlets explaining why they're scum.
