Chapter 13.

36% of the way through the book.

The main story FINALLY begins!

If the writing wasn't so good, this would have been a DNF.

I started reading a new book today, and I can already see there's about 4-5 chapters of backstory packed into the beginning. You know, the kind of thing I'd edit out and turn into a free novella to promote the main story.

The prose is good, however, so I think I'll stick with it...

So I don't know which book to read next.

Here is the top of my TBR... thoughts?

The straight and queer worlds pretend they don't exist.
Then they find each other...

*sigh*

53%. I got 53% through "The Stillwater Girls" before I figured out ALL of the twists.

I scanned the rest of the book... Yep, 100%.

Sometimes my #autistic brain really ruins things.

Lauren went home searching for a new start.

She found a vampire instead.

I just watched a video on how to write realistic male characters (and it was really good advice, too), and it reminded me why I really don't like to write that many male characters.

The #BobWelch era of #FleetwoodMac is vastly underappreciated.

They killed it live!

I just started "Shadow of Night", book 2 of The All Souls trilogy.

I love these books... A sheer joy!❤️

Remember folks...

The only men afraid of a woman with a "high body count" are crappy lovers afraid of being found out.

The good ones don't care about being "the first", they just want to be "the best".

I just had a character refer to Alice from Twilight as "the original manic pixie dream vampire", and now I don't know how I'll top this description...

I wrote the most #magical scene this morning... But one that only exists because of unimaginable violence.

Such is writing about the #Fae...

Queer, spicy romance with superhero vampires, shape shifters, and Fae Witches. Think the MCU with blood and sex...

*sigh*...

The book I'm reading is beautifully written, skillfully plotted, and has deep, likable characters.

But it's sloooow. And while I can normally dig a slow-paced story, not when I'm writing. Then, I need things to moooove...

So not a DNF, but as "finish later"...

Is anyone REALLY setting Teslas on fire?

After all, they're Teslas... They catch on fire so often, one would think "spontaneous combustion" was added as a temperature setting... 😉😉😉

Dear "book promotion" folks:

Before you send a sales pitch, you should have more followers than my antisocial cousin (who hasn't posted since Obama was president)

I'm not going to spend $ to have your 347 followers ignore my book. I can have my followers do that for free.

The intellectual inferiority of the American right wing is shown perfectly by their screaming fear of pronouns.

When basic grammar can make you shriek like a frightened cheerleader, you're not the sharpest crayon in the Box...
