I want to make a list of *short stories* (any genre) published by intersex authors in 2025 & hopefully going forward. I've been meaning to do this for a while, and I think now there are plenty of stories.

If you have some stories, let me know / if not, please repost to spread the word?

Thank you!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I am soooo close to finished with this dang #WIP, but I had to set it aside to make the pumpkin pie for tonight's feast. Maybe those last couple of scenes will write themselves?

(The tart was great.)

My husband has just informed me that my regular running route is not, in fact, 5k like I thought.

It's actually just over 6k. So I've been running further (and faster) than I thought. 😂

This was an absolutely lovely review. I don't think I can beat Dannye when it comes to an attention-grabbing line. Believe in werewolves, indeed!

So... I'm biased. I wrote this. Take Dannye's word and tell her I sent ya! 😁
New book review! "The Handyma’am and the Werewolves" by JD Cadmon (Sapphic paranormal romance).
It doesn’t really matter if you don’t believe in werewolves when they sure as hell believe in you.

#queerwriters Goals for the week/month: I want to keep some of my momentum from July! I clocked well over 100k words last month. August is shaping up to be ridiculously busy, though. So ... we'll see. 😅
#queerwriters Monday: Goals Day!

What do you hope to accomplish this week? Can be anything, big or small! Let us know so we can cheer you on!

Brief monthly update: I wrote well over 100k words last month (split between projects).

I slowed down toward the end of July though, and August is ridiculously busy, so ... we'll see what shapes up.

My week was good, except the baby is teething! One tooth a week here right now, folks, one right after another.

I've been coping by dumping words into the most self-indulgent WIP ever. I wrote over 40k words this week. Whoops? 😅
#queerwriters Saturday: Check in Day!

Update!
TW: grief, death

I've been pretty quiet lately. I kinda got devoured by a new fandom, which was really good for my creativity. I dumped 120k words onto the page this month -- none of it for original works. I've got a bunch of new ideas FOR original stuff though. I probably needed the break.
