Are you setting up your #SapphicBooks reading list for 2026 using Jae's Sapphic Bingo? Here's a how my books fit into the categories. My books are available in multiple formats: tinyurl.com/LaraZbooks

I read ebooks, too, but there is nothing like holding a book in my hands. #SapphicBooks #amReading Got these in an end of year sale from @boldstrokesbooks.bsky.social

As an author and an editor, I'll be speaking about choosing the right POV for your story. Details here: lzedits.com/2026/01/02/a...

I just set my 2026 #goodreads reading goal: 50 books. Figured if I made 51 last year (when I had only set a goal of 25) it wouldn't be unreasonable to set a goal of 50 this year. What are you reading to start 2026? Where do you leave your reviews?

Walked out to eat my breakfast in my local park and came across this Bea hawk

May be divisive, and also completely absent from both of my WIPs 😏

#LesFicFri *chill* She couldn’t put her job in jeopardy. If it all went wrong, she would lose everything. A chill ran down her spine. She had everything at stake, not only for her but also for Cam. From On the Edge of Uncertainty. #1920sLondon #SecondChanceRomance #HistoricalRomance #WLW

#Lesficfri the Tyton sequel uses "chill" a lot, being at the edge of the Arctic Ocean, but this one is my favorite so far. #lesfic #sapphic

#lesficfri - chill Slightly unusual section. My MCs are on their first day out together - as friends - to Skipton and they visit the castle, a place I've been to many times. There is a long drop toilet. mybook.to/oDWWD

#LesficFri "Chill" Going with vibes, but I think this moment fits really well 😊 From "Butterflies in the Stomach", Pt 1 of my two-part short fanfic based on a New Mutants story. If you want to know what happened, you can read it here :D archiveofourown.org/works/64445764. #Lesfic #Marvel #Ao3

#lesficfri “chill” [Brenna’s] hand brushed across Cassidy's damp shoulder, sending conflicting waves of chill and heat along the nerves. Mopping at her face, Cassidy watched Brenna walk away and wondered what the hell she should do. mybook.to/LZTurningPoint

Morning sprint yielded 727 words. And the ask to the baby shower. #writingCommunity

I wrote a lot of words in sprint today: 285 new ones on my story, and 500-ish words for a column on crafting setting for my editing newsletter. All in all, very productive.

Excellent advice, which I constantly give to writers I coach. My go-to is to remind myself I have gotten through every other time before, to produce five published books I’m rather proud of. So it’s always possible, even probable, that I will overcome this time as well

#writingLife I apparently wasn't done with creative words for today. Added another 500+ over my lunch break just now. Makes for a total of 1,112 words over two writing sprints today. This light little romance (don't we all need something lighthearted right now?) is shaping up nicely.

#writingSprint Slow start, but wrote 614 new words #writingCommunity
