I forgot about Bluesky. I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry.

Photo of a gold MacBook Air with the words “the end” displayed on a word processor in scripted font. Along the left side is a navigation pane showing each chapter. In the center of the screen, the word count of 88,273 words is displayed.

I JUST FINISHED THE FIRST DRAFT OF MY BOOK!!!!!

Rejoice with me, #booksky

(Ignore the smudges on my computer screen. I’m a dirty bitch who forgets to clean her electronics, okay?)

Oooh haven’t heard of that one! I’m going to need to check that out!

You know, I’ve been sober for (mostly) 3 years, but the way shit is going, I’m gonna say fuck it.

I hate this timeline.

Yeah so, if you’re wondering what happens during end stage capitalism, this is it.

We’re fucked. And not in the good way.

#Booksky I. Am. OBSESSED. I’m not usually a dark romance girly, but Josh can get. It. He’s hilarious, secretly a teddy bear, and a little scary.

The duet narration was perfection. Jacob Morgan could read me the damn phone book any day and I’d be putty in his arms.

Go read #LightsOut. Now.

Ugh. I’m back on #TikTok because what do you MEAN I have to market my book before it’s even published?

Anyway, follow me for mid content about a book that is hopefully a little better.

It’s pretty depressing when you’re blocked trying to write THE CUTEST DATE SCENE EVER because you realize you’ve never once been on a good date.

Me, self-editing my book today:

WHY THE FUCK IS EVERYONE CHUCKLING?!

My god, someone get me a fucking thesaurus.

Anyway, what are some of your most overused phrases in your book?

I probably won’t finish another book today, so this is my #MarchReadingWrapUp! I rate on vibes only, so don’t @ me. #OnyxStorm is my favorite read of the month bc of the absolute fucking chokehold it’s had on me since I finished it. What was your fav read of March?

Digital media costing more than its physical counterpart will never not scream, “Scam!” to me, (audiobooks being the exception) considering you’ll never actually own the digital copy. If I ever publish, I’ll give y’all that PDF for $5 on cash app.

If there’s one thing you should know about me, it’s that I’m never skipping a Jane Austen retelling.

Omg yes! Love CC. Highly recommend getting caught up. And reading ACOTAR before you get to CC2 if you haven’t.

I discovered a slight continuity error, so I’m going back to meticulously document my story’s timeline. I also received some feedback on my early chapters that my dual POV sometimes sounds like one voice, so spent all day Saturday digging into my characters and their quirks.

Dear #booksky friends, I need you. I’m looking for a book series that will utterly damage my soul like Throne of Glass and The Emperyan series. Like, I want to be writhing on the floor violently sobbing. So…um…yeah. Help?

Isn’t it wild that at this point, I’m LESS concerned with their bullying because I’m more worried about the constant displays of gross incompetence?

My favorite thing to do when I need a laugh is look at my notes app & read through all the book ideas I thought were revelatory between the hours of 2 & 4am.

Let’s just say I wrote a terrible sci-fi pitch where Adam Brody was my love interest.

The fact that we have the good guy, WALZ who is popular in politics and the bad guy WALTZ, also in politics is a mindfuck I haven’t seen the likes of since Jennifer Armentrout named two characters Malek and Malik in the From Blood and Ash series. IYKYK.

I mean, we know all this. It’d be really freaking awesome if the so-called opposition party would layout wtf they intend to DO about it though. This party is so weak.

I’ve only finished the first two chapters and I’m a weirdo who doesn’t read synopsis lol It’s reminiscent of Pride & Prejudice, but with magic. Our protagonist comes from a long line of witches, but that is a secret that’s been kept from her all her life. Until now. I’m enjoying it so far!

Collage of photographs showcasing the FairyLoot special edition of The Honey Witch by Sydney J. Shields. The largest photo shows the main front cover, depicting a small cottage in the background, surrounded by various foliage, the title in gold centered at the bottom. The photo in the top right shows the all white naked hardcover that is adorned with foil depicting a honeypot surrounded by flowers. The photo directly underneath showcases artwork on the endpages of two women, witches, facing one another, one in light clothing and the other in dark. The last photo in this column shows the yellow sprayed edges, adorned with stencils of bees and a honeycomb pattern. The photo to the left shows the reversible dust jacket, showing the two witches from the endpages embracing one another. And the final photo in the left corner shows more endpage art, featuring the same two witches along with a dark skinned character in a green apron, handing the witch in brown a green potion bottle.

BlueSky’s character count won’t allow me to do justice to this gorgeous #FairyLoot exclusive edition of #TheHoneyWitch by Sydney J. Shields. Instead, I’ll leave you with these mediocre iPhone photos.

As a woman who absolutely hates to drive, I agree.

I would say Guitar Hero had legitimate musical value just based on how many songs I instantly associate with playing on Guitar Hero. There’s some songs you have an entire relationship with like yeah I know how to play that on a plastic guitar

Come on, you know by now these people will never face any consequences. I mean, their leader has 34 felony convictions and would have been convicted of at least one rape if not for our idiotic statute of limitations.

Resign? Bro should be in gitmo for treason.

I still have 25% of the book left, but I'm really enjoying Billy Porter's memoir. He's surprisingly raw and candid, with pockets of his signature humor sprinkled in for good measure. He doesn't hold back his perspective on being a black, gay man in the US. Def recommend.

This one was neat. ;) Hope you like it!

Quote from the upcoming debut novel by SV Lynn, Holiday Handyman. “Let me make something abundantly fucking clear, Sadie. I don’t ever want to see you again. I don’t want to hear your voice, I don’t even want to know you still fucking exist. And if you ever speak about Mia that way again, I will fucking bury you so far into obscurity you’ll be lucky to have the relevancy of a discarded condom. You got me?”

The “touch her and die trope,” but for modern day romance set in a world where you can’t actually murder people. 🤣

Okay. So what are you and your colleagues prepared to do about it?
