Character: Oh cool, so I get the best lines?
Me: No, that's for the villain.
Character: Right, then I must get the coolest powers.
Me: No, that's for the side character.
Character: ... What do I get?

Editing an old novel is instructive.

No. Do I think that a sort of "Baby's First Boycott," performative though it is, might be useful to make some folks aware of the impact of their economic power, and how it might be wielded politically? Maybe.

A man kills himself & ends up in Heaven. God tells him he's Jesus Christ & to shun the devil. Lucifer tells him God is dangerous, but confirms the man is Jesus. As conflict looms, Jesus must choose who he believes.

A collage of photos: a classic red Vermont farmhouse in autumn, with a low stone wall in the foreground; the title of the novel, โThis Ends Nowโ; a dark-haired woman floating face upwards in water, surrounded by white flowers, her eyes open; a blazing bonfire at nightfall; a dark-haired man wearing glasses lying on the ground, in profile, with a dark-haired woman to his side, holding him; the interior of Yale Universityโs Sterling Memorial Library, showing a Gothic cathedral-like entrance; a manโs hand clasping a womanโs hand, with a snow-covered fir tree in the background.
THE WEDDING PEOPLE x SANDWICH x THE PAPER PALACE
THIS ENDS NOW: Matrimonial escape artist Lainey is finally ready to stop running from good men. But 1st she'll have to confront the charming, ruthless ex who taught her that love equals dangerโand rewrote her heart's warning system. #A #WF #Q #WSPitQ
Looking back meme with May holding hands with her oblivious BFF and unrequited love but looking back at the CEO's disinherited son.
Comps: future government corruption meets Hozier level pining. Book image of The Marriage Act by John Marrs and Chain Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah with a Hozier album. Themes: Spicy friends with benefits, American anger, power and control, facial and body dysmorphia, chronic illness rep, class divide and inequality, billionaire romance gone broke, social justice themes, and Healthcare corporate corruption.
Nina Castleโs Take As Prescribed, a spicy adult dystopian, first page teaser: CHAPTER 1 Thoughts and prayers arenโt worth much, at least south of the Divide. Itโs a sentiment the plastics use when they hear of things like our mortality rate or ever-increasing birth defects, but donโt be fooled. This is America where thinkingโs outdated, and we pray to pills. In the north, they manufacture god in pharmaceutical bottles labeled โGeNew.โ Not that anyone I know could ever afford it. Health, wealth, and beauty belong to the financially devout. To be fair, we all love moneyโฆit just doesnโt love us all back. Uncle David tells me foodโs the problem as he peels away two breakfast cubes from their thin plastic wrapping. โItโs this damn processed shit makinโ us sick,โ he says, smacking the pot harder than necessary on the single electric burner. Guess itโs boiled cube, today. โThey price gouge us with poison, then try to sell us the cure. Itโs all about money, May, mark my words. Those bastards at HealthCorp donโt give a damn about us unless weโre paddinโ their pockets.โ I nod along as I always do when the injustice inside him spills out in the form of a rant. Davidโs from a time they remembered whole foods, even if what they ate was a mere semblance of the real thing. Perhaps in Europe and the Asias it still exists along with their muffled cries for human rights. As for me, I canโt be angry. Anger takes energy, of which Iโve little to spare. Like everyone this side of the Divide, Iโm ugly with deformities. Weak with sickness. My broad shoulders hunch, and my spine curves to a hump at the base of my neck. My fragile hair litters our single room apartment like the black polyester threads from our tattered clothes. Like everyone, I am dying.

1984 X HOZIER X IN TIME
