I think a slide into DMs to at least talk to them isn't untoward. You never know, you might make that connection!

I feel much better overall by evening. Did some more research and character notes for Fight the Powers. I think tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest, I'll be back to the actual writing.

Cat-Girl Heroine revisions are still with the publisher. At least 3 rounds of editing to go.

Hot dang! Great job!

I Rise and Shine'd off a cliff, lol. The huge cold snap plus some lingering bad moodles from last night combined to a majority of the day being me in a hoodie having hot food and beverages.

However, the photo conundrum has been fixed, and I'll reveal what that's about Very Soon!

Total aside, goddang, I love Suletta in general, but that gif is so adorkable...

Fine. *deep breath* I guess the only answer is a lesbian tournament arc for my hand in marriage. That's the only fair way to resolve this bureaucratic bungle.

Yes! All of that! My pansexual MC isn't in a het romance, regardless of who she's romancing in a particular scene of the book.

I think it comes down a lot to how it's presented and the honesty of the marketing. Like, I write a variety of romance types, even the dreaded het romance in a series or two, but I'm VERY clear which way the wind will blow and stick to it. :D

🤮 WE HATES IT, PRECIOUS!

...I'm only half-joking. Maybe even only a quarter-joking...

At this point, with my dating track record, why not gamble on the undead and random Bluesky solicitations?

Thanks, Nina. I mean, grand scheme, seeking praise is far from the worst trauma response I could have, but it hits in unusual ways at the worst times, lol.

It's not even a kink thing - though I know it is too - but a more general NEED to have positive feedback. Which is incredibly human and normal, I also know, but this feels MORE than that.

Is it something I always had that made it easier to get cult'd or is it a result of the cult? Who's to say?
