Look at this gorgeous Cleric of Aphrodite character art @ruesparks.bsky.social did of my MC Lauren. It’s her before AND after she wound up in a video game. I loved the depth of symbolism Rue put into this work.

True story. You can find this line and many other examples of creative swearing in my #LitRPG book with bi and polyam rep called “Cleric of Aphrodite.”

I was told specifically not to write LitRPG because I’m a woman. I decided to do it anyway.

In the process of going through notes from my editor and every once in a while I get gems like these. 😂

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

If these are the people coming to save me, I’m a lot worse off than kidnapped.

I love that my job sometimes is just to sit down and read a book.

I’m a savant in ruining a perfectly good thing. I have an honorary degree in impulsivity. My survival acumen softens my many falls. Because of this, I labeled my bottle as poison but you drank me anyway.

Messed around on Photoshop and made something for “Cleric of Aphrodite.” My little bi self needed to repeat the same three colors a hundred times.

“Flexible, adaptable, and lands on her feet.”

I used to take pride when people said that. But I’m not wearing medals. These are badges of pity.

Now, I’m shooting for “firm, formidable, and a force to be reckoned with.”

I ask for sugar;
she gives me saccharine.
I ask for depth;
she gives me the surface.
I ask for truth;
she gives me lies.
“I give you so much,” she says.
And yet she starves me.
