Me too.

The Hunter episode, the subplots and small details are great.

The main story is cliche and terrible (it is based on a Harlequin novel after all).

Here’s a novel idea: instead of a heteronormative, woman’s porn inspired romantasy, how about we let gay men speak for themselves?

HEATED RIVALRY:
Heterosexuals earning all of the praise and profit by telling their version of our stories

Are we still that despite for mere representation?

Not one single mention of that tedious HBOMax show.

God bless you Bluesky

I dunno

Why write another novel (my third) that won’t be published?

I might finish it (I’m 130 pages in)

I might not

This might be it

I’m trying to finish this novel (I’m 120 ages on why not).

It’s been a year

Why bother

No one would dare publish it even if I finished it

Vocation

.. I was saying I am terrified of swallowing
an avocado pit, of having this big world growing
inside me, of giving birth to a vocalization that
would eat me, of choking on my own words that, 
once uttered, would commend me to the compost,
hence my silence, even as I speak, so nothing grows.

Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;

With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;"
