✨IT’S✨RELEASE ✨DAY✨

“I walked like the world owed me something and believed nothing could break me—not bullets, heartbreak, or betrayal. But that’s the kind of bullsh*t you believe when you’re young, dumb, and too full of ego to recognize how fragile life really is”

not & know never will be. We want y’all to stop propping up the undeserving because they are perceived to be “safe” in your eyes.

But y’all ain’t ready for that conversation. #bookishthoughts #author

Accepting mediocrity in the bookish space is accepting an author telling you using A/I is to “enhance” the readers experience

But, when Black author or reader points out the flaw in that way of thinking you swear we’re haters. We not hating we just want people to be held to a standard their 1/2

I guess the problem I’m having with the outside of my thumb hurting is a good thing. The way I stay clicking away on this laptop. I need to find something on the zoo, cause this is annoying AF.

But I can’t be to upset I’m getting the words in. #authorlife

I’m an author with focus issue.

Constantly excusing lack of diversity
& FINALLY
Talking down to and about Black authors and OUR way we telling stories.

That last one makes my aşş itch.

Earlier this year I exited BOOKTOK. Here’s why.

I got tired of the foolishness & inability to think logically.

Recycling the same arguments
&
Constantly making excuses for bad behavior

I’ve come to realization that I’m not a romance author.

Hear me out. Is their romance in my books? Yes. But is it the priority in the story? No.

So, I’m now considering myself a romance adjacent author.

Good day

THE DATE: Dalia

Random Thoughts: Everyday I wake up wondering why I love my sister, because she is on some good BS with this one. Blind date? Tuh.

Me going to FB, IG & threads because I actually have the energy to do marketing.

FB, IG & threads being down.

Learning to NOT be a long winded author is hard work.

Same.

I’m working he’s lurking.

That face can get me to do anything.

I don’t know why my behind is reading Tina J before bed knowing she always has my blood pressure high.

But I can’t stop reading her messy books. Whilst screaming “it couldn’t be me”

When family is everything. Nothing will stop her from protecting hers, even if she never knew them. #books #romance #mcromancebooks #bookstoread

My two cents.
