Conspiracy theory: the media drummed up the notion to push Joe Biden out of the White House not out of concern for his health or his mental capacity... but because to them, he was too "boring" as president, and that meant bad ratings.

I will never understand people who lack empathy. I cannot grasp how a human being can see another human being suffer and respond with a shoulder shrug or even anger toward the person suffering. Empathy fuels my rage, but only because I know i can't do anything about most of the problems we face.

My rule of thumb: if I didn't reach out to you first, or research you on my own, you're not getting a response. That's email, IG message... any of it.
Lots of folks on Threads are talking about the staggering amount of scammer emails from people pretending to be book clubs, reviewers, and more.
Seems like the endgame is eventually getting you to pay a good chunk of money for promotions and readers that likely don’t exist.
Be careful out there.

One of my favorite songs ever. Also, it kinda makes me want to try my hand at a high fantasy book.

On that note:
Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.
Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"
So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?

All my MCs are queer. Jill (Bounty - series) is ace, Jack (Notna) is bisexual, and Summer (Summertime, etc.) is a lesbian.
They're all heroes trying to stand up for right in a world where there really isn't much right.
But mostly the queer thing. 🏳️🌈

#LateNightWrite Across all of your WIPs, what similarities, if any, do your MCs share? And are those similarities subconscious or are they intentional?

All my books are in different settings, but I am finding the main throughline for all my work is some variation of "the world is fucked, the system is broken, so the hero operates outside of it."
Disturbingly timely, to be honest.

#LateNightWrite Do your WIPs ever tend to share the same setting or location? Do you tend to write stories with similar themes?

I see... five WIPs on my hard drive right now? Three fiction, two non-fiction, and a daily sense of, "I should write, but I don't know *what* to write."
If there's such a thing as having too many ideas, I've got it. 😅

#LateNightWrite Do you work on multiple WIPs or just a single WIP at a time? How do you juggle multiple projects, if you do? If you don’t, how many backburner ideas do you have at the moment?

That first weekend after the end of #NASCAR season is always a bit weird. What do I do with myself for the two days I don't have to work and should instead be watching all the cars go vroom?

As always, today is a great day to support artists, writers, creators of all sorts. If you have the means, buy a book, sign up for someone's Patreon, commission an art piece. It's also a lovely day to leave a nice comment, post a short review, spread the word about someone's work. Everything helps.

I gotta be frank: Sydney Sweeney. Don't get the appeal.
Like... okay, they're big.
What else y'all got? Cause if we're just here for the bigguns, I can rattle off several far more appealing celebrities.
Or there's Google.
Or I could just... hit up my girlfriend. 🤷♂️

Confession: I gave serious thought to not voting. The last 10 years have broken me that badly.
But my right to vote has never been in question. I didn't have to fight for it. My vote is as much privilege as right; what right do I have to piss that away?
So, I voted.
