I am not a very proper woman. But I AM a writer!
Unsolicited writing advice, no. 6:
Having a day job doesn’t mean you’re not a proper writer. Writing for children doesn’t mean you’re not a proper writer. Being unpublished doesn’t mean you’re not a proper writer.
Oh, and there’s no such thing as a proper writer. Only writers, and those who don’t.

Even more, please request your local library carry your favorite authors' books! Those sales--and those readers--matter a lot.
Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

I thought this was fiction.... I wish it was fiction ...
Doctor Doom sends an army of laser robots into the city, leaving downtown a smoldering heap of rubble. He stands on a pile of flaming cars, raising his fist to the sky. “All will cower before Doom!”

My parents nod. “Crime is way down since he disintegrated everything. I’d vote for him again.”

“I’ll eat you!” It would have been threatening, but the dragon’s voice cracked. Pimples covered its face.
“You’re a gangly creature,” the knight observed. “And cranky.”
“Dragon puberty takes centuries. You’d be cranky, too!”

I recently finished this book and it’s genuinely SO good!!! It has awesome ace rep, like, so well written it’s actually refreshing to read. Also it has a baby dragon??? And the dog lives 🎉 so you know, 10/10
if you like the ace romance and humour of someone you can build a nest in by john wiswell, the messy-queers-fighting-for-justice vibes of the kingston cycle by CL polk, and the worldbuilding of sky on fire by jenn lyons then you’re gonna love the dragon next door 🌈📚 #booksky

An open letter to the steakhouse:

Because of your refusal to put my picture on the wall of champions who have eaten your 72 oz steak, even though I am vegetarian but ate ALL of the side items required, I have no choice but to annex your parking lot! Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Of course we dragons never were interested in eating humans. We despise the taste of your meat! But so many of you are infested by those delicious skeletons, and we know that skeletons are evil. We simply do the world a service by devouring them. It’s just your vile human meat gets in the way.

Just over a week left in the campaign... and we're over 150% funded. Which means we're busting out so many stretch goals! At this point, ever backer will receive two bonus digital pieces of content, and we're not far from getting a third!
