When you send your favorite #writer @mmtilton.bsky.social an early birthday gift in the mail. I swear it’s innocent. If you know what it is, don’t say 🤐 #writingcommunity #ThisFeelsLikeAPlot

I seriously cannot stop thinking about @mmtilton.bsky.social’s new story. It’s so good. I am tremendously excited to read more. #WritingSky #BetaReader #WritingCommunity

The coolest thing: Having a friend/peer know your #writing well and hearing them compliment your growth. Thank you to @mmtilton.bsky.social for #beta’ing an older story and making me feel so capable. #WritingCommunity I am so fucking grateful.

The elastic of my brain is morphing and shifting because of the forming thing just under the surface. New idea coming in. #Writer doing errands. Inspiration hits at the strangest times.

When @mmtilton.bsky.social writes #smut I feel like I need a cigarette after reading it, and I haven’t smoked in over a decade. #writing #betaing #romancereads

While there were likely multiple Black authors writing for the romance pulps, Gertrude "Toki" Schalk is perhaps the only one we currently know of. In honor of Black History Month, please check out this biographical post I wrote last year. 💕 (Story highlights to come later!) #pulp #romancelandia
Author Spotlight: Gertrude “Toki” Schalk
A day late for Valentine’s Day, but nonetheless, in honor of both Valentine’s Day and Black History Month, I’m doing something a little different and giving you a post not about a particular story …

Little I love more than daydreaming new stories with @mmtilton.bsky.social. Having another writer to play “Idea Tennis” with is a real dream come true, and I couldn’t ask for a better feedback partner.

We have to stand up to legislation like this. We have to keep books available to access. We need to halt the policing of our ideas.
@essiepinebooks.bsky.social exactly what we were talking about earlier. The devil is in the details - or lack thereof 😒

In all seriousness, we’re gonna need a lot of pushback and eyes on these senators because that OK SB593 is not just a child p***ography bill and Dusty thinks we’re stupid.

People love to treat #Romance reads as silly, indulgent, cheap, or as “less meaningful” when it’s a genre that helps people explore a subject at their own comfort level, that brings people joy, that teaches people what they want for themselves. @mmtilton.bsky.social and I will be ready to fight.
@essiepinebooks.bsky.social you ready to fight against the patriarchy and the misogyny by writing? #Writers #WritingCommunity

Totally normal to have a crush on the MMC in your friend’s ( @mmtilton.bsky.social ) #WIP, right? I’d say I’m asking for a friend, but I’m too tired to lie this morning. #BetaReading #WritingCommunity

Got the sweetest gift in the mail from @mmtilton.bsky.social to help with the #WIP #RegencyRomance trilogy. She also sent tea I love to go with it!
Not only is she an insanely talented writer, she’s one of the kindest humans. She’s #querying, so keep an eye out for that name.

Working on one of the #Regency #WIPs tonight. I need more #Classical music recommendations. Spent too much time on the mood board, but that’s okay. #WritingCommunity #RegencyRomance

SHARP OBJECTS X HILL HOUSE w/ (10) lit agent interest✨
Baylor’s obsession with Kara is dark and consuming—even on their first date. But when she vanishes, he’s hunted by his doppelgänger and must confront himself before time ticks.

@sarah-porter.bsky.social I used to follow you on that other site, and I just joined over here with my “author” (I’m querying 😅) account.
Just had to say, “Hi!” I love your books and I’m so excited to see you over here. 💜
Thanks for writing so many emotionally complex dazzlers.
