Which one?
There's a thriller, a dark fantasy, a historical speculative, a romcom....

Hair dryer. I will not elaborate.

Green poster wirh 4 panels: side profile of a man, dentist working on a patient, woman with dark curly hair, woman with blonde hair. Text and blood spatter over the poster: "Love this description. Impeccable delivery, so cinematic" "I'm hooked. so hooked on this book. I need it on my shelf." "I literally cackled" "Sharp, shocking, love it Seriously this is so fucking cinematic wth" "VICERAL" "OBSESSED" "I WAS NOT PREPARED" "OMINOUS" DON'T NAME THE DEAD Far-right extremist zombies, a hot dentist, and a love triangle take on the end of the world. @sampeil

LOVE

They read every manuscript they represent? As a selling point?? As opposed to becoming your agent without even reading your book???

Did you hand them a newspaper?

What food would my characters be?

A SNACK

*badum-dum ching*

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all month.

The Māori word for #autism
is takiwatanga, ‘in their own time
and space’ I for one think it’s lovely
to describe the condition I can relate
to this as I find focusing on one thing
at a time works better for me.

🎉🎉🎉

For me, it's either still in the car, still in the bag from the store but stuck with the regular groceries that I didn't put away from last week, or put still in its pharmacy bag on a shelf in the pantry

A Car's digital temperature display stating 96° f

Me: Ugh, I wonder why it feels so sticky out. It's not even hot today.

Dear Reader....

Shard blames her child self for what happened. If only she'd been stronger. Braver.
But she's wrong. It wasn't her fault at all.

#queerprompts In my current wip, Seth needs to actually speak up for himself and be willing to stand up to other people. No more people pleasing!

So far, action adventure with RPG elements, but within a narrative structure. Visual novel action adventure? 😂

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

PBS’s official Facebook page posted this. I don’t think they’re going quietly.

Did he wave back at you?

What's your emotional support TV show?

...I have now forgotten every book I've ever read. 🤦😭

I mean, V has his wheelchair for bad leg days. Seth has patient found family who wait calmly for his anxiety to let him speak. My tism babies embrace it. My ADHDers became hackers bc who can sit in an office and listen to people for eight hours, really?

I'm Riv, author and editor. I'm a witchy enby writing in stolen minutes around three jobs, eeek.

I've got a romantic thriller on sub (queernormative) and a thriller WIP (can I get away with a trans MC? I've got at least four drafts left to decide.)
