I wish I could’ve given him his flowers 🥲 him along with E Lynn Harris were my inspirations ✍🏽 I wanted to pen like them 🤭. You called it - he’s definitely The Blueprint for me. SIP 🕊️

I feel like EJD doesn’t get nearly enough credit for his writing & its influence on a lot of indie Black romance writing today. I call him The Blueprint for a reason. So so so so glad I got to give him his flowers before he left us on my old podski with Tahmeka. 🥰

Heeeey 👋🏽🥰

Cicero was a very wise man

Stuck on a writing project? Here's what I always ask myself in that situation: Emily, have you considered that you might not be very good and should abandon writing altogether and move to the woods and make candles or possibly become a nun or something?

Roughly 400 Books Removed From Wilson County School Libraries District removes books including ‘The Bluest Eye,’ ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ and Dr. Seuss’ ‘Wacky Wednesday’ to comply with state law

Nearly 400 books removed from school libraries in one Tennessee county. Based on my skim of the list, most of them appear to be books by women, authors of color, &/or LGBTQ+ authors.

Screenshot of a section of a Wikipedia entry about the Filthy Fifteen. The text reads One of the actions taken by the PMRC was compiling a list of fifteen songs in popular music, at the time, that they found the most objectionable. This list is known as the "Filthy Fifteen" and consists of the following songs along with the lyrical content category for which each song was considered objectionable. A table is provided. # Artist Song title Lyrical content 1 Prince "Darling Nikki" Sex/masturbation 2 Sheena Easton "Sugar Walls" Sex 3 Judas Priest "Eat Me Alive" Sex/violence 4 Vanity "Strap On 'Robbie Baby'" Sex 5 Mötley Crüe "Bastard" Violence/language 6 AC/DC "Let Me Put My Love Into You" Sex 7 Twisted Sister "We're Not Gonna Take It" Violence 8 Madonna "Dress You Up" Sex 9 W.A.S.P. "Animal (F**k Like a Beast)" Sex/language/violence 10 Def Leppard "High 'n' Dry (Saturday Night)" Drug and alcohol use 11 Mercyful Fate "Into the Coven" Occult 12 Black Sabbath "Trashed" Drug and alcohol use 13 Mary Jane Girls "In My House" Sex 14 Venom "Possessed" Occult 15 Cyndi Lauper "She Bop" Sex/masturbation

For my fellow spicy #romancelandia writers who enjoy listening to appropriate tunes while writing sex scenes, I give you the 1985 Parents Music Resource Center's (PMRC) delightful Filthy Fifteen playlist.

The PMRC would like to remind you that these songs are obscene and may cause dirty thoughts.
