Well D2D got back to me and they ignored the fact that they called me and many other authors not career minded, but also, they're claiming it's the vendors doing this.

I think authors need to keep very close eyes on this.

#WritingCommunity #Censorship #Draft2Digital
Hello, Unfortunately, those topics are oversaturated, and our vendors are being very strict about accepting them, if accepting them at all. You can see more about content guidelines here: https://draft2digital.com/content-guidelines/ Please let me know if you need further support. Thank you, Ashley

Sometimes you got to put on your "shit show supervisor" hat and do farm chores...

I love baseball caps. Very gender affirm-y. Plus I am like my red-headed pale ancestors who burn like a marshmallow left too long over a camp fire if we're in the sun for any length of time.
A picture of a gray cap with the white words "shit show supervisor" backwards because of the angle of the picture. In the background is a blue sky, part of a tree, and lots of tall, green weeds.

21 bales of hay in the truck. Load not strapped down because I didn't buy the right straps (They'd be okay but the bales sit on the side of the truck so no reaching down to fasten.) Drove like granny was in the back seat in her Sunday best with a crock of gravy in her lap - no problems. Woohoo!
A dusty navy blue pick up truck with tan trim and the tail gate down showing full of hay bales stacked on the edges and three on the top. The sky is blue and it's a beautiful Ozark day with green leaves on the trees.

Connecting with animals and being willing to listen to their wisdom means that we need to treat them with kindness. They are simply fellow travelers, and we're all just walking each other home. (read more) #Kindness #Horses #Horsesky #Spirituality

More snazzy added to the chapter heading (brand font). I am really pleased with how this is coming together and the formatting is done. Now I need to write a blurb. ARGHIES!!!!!

Really playing with the formatting for this YA equestrian in part to have some fun, but also as I get back to formatting books as part of Epona Author Solutions.

As embodied beings we need a few things to survive. Food and water are the two that come to mind, and shelter ranks high on the list. But we also need to take care of our physical body, and part of that involves being aware of it. (Read More) #neurodivergent

Will probably update the vendors tonight, but the author name has been changed on my newest equestrian lit series to reflect the updated pen name. (I used to write as Mary Kit Caelsto) Super happy to be stepping into my authenticity this way.

Will unveil the equestrian website as soon as its done.
Cover for Fresh Horses, Second Joy Stables Book 1. The top has a running dapple gray horse and the bottom half has a brown english saddle hanging over a fence. The title is in bold gray text with the series above it, and at the bottom in black text it says Kit Muse writing as Kit M Caelsto

A4: Here's a bit that I wrote this evening (brain to page so be kind please) featuring a snarky winged unicorn and his equally snarky rider. This is part of a short story that's going to be free for my membership group. Full text is in alt text.

#SFFChat
He heard a mental harrumph from his winged unicorn. Darkthunder had informed him that he was not a pegasus. They didn’t have horns. He preferred to be called a winged unicorn. Such a picky bastard, Roc thought with a grin. Kind of like me. That thought earned a second harrumph. “You can relax now. Let’s bring him back to walk a pick up your stirrups again. I want you to start doing this while you’re in motion. If you’re in the middle of a battle, you can’t stop and ask everyone to wait while you get your stirrups.” Kris instructed. That made sense to him, and to his relief it only took two tries for him to slide his boots into the stirrup, pausing so the iron rested on the ball of his foot. He wore black breeches and in deference to the heat and the school’s dress code, a black, sleeveless t-shirt with the Pegasus Academy logo on it. His helmet, also black, was part of the school’s requirements, which he appreciated. If he didn’t ride a motorcycle without one, he sure as hell wouldn’t get on the back of this best without— Darkthunder kicked out with a hind leg. All right you nag. Message received. His thoughts earned him another crow hop, and he swore Kris was trying not to laugh.

Also, it is this little goblin's fourth anniversary gotcha day, and I can't believe I've had this crazy banana cat for so long. She seems to have been here forever and just gotten here. Finding joy where I can.
A gray and white cat curled up with its face smooshed against it's feet. Pink and gray toe beans are showing. It's sleeping on a black plastic covered package and in the background is a black mini fridge and shelf clutter of office supplies.

I am so happy that I found this shelf of mom's in the storage shed and it's perfect for my Stablemate Breyer horses. On top I'm going to put the pictures I have of her and my heart horse and I feel like it's a very fitting reminder of mom. I have no idea what she was going to use the shelf for.
At the top of the image is a wooden shelf (with some neon yellow duct tape and white metal brackets) holding up traditional sized Breyer Model Horses in various colors. The ceiling is blue. The wall is an olive green. There is a wooden shelf where the top shelf is a mishmash of books, statues, and stuff. On top of the shelf is a shelf made up of 4" squares that form a grid pattern. The entire shelf is almost 4' wide and 2' tall. Within each of the squares is a bunch of smaller "Stablemate" sized model horses and unicorns in many different real and fantasy horse colors.

Like I'm not going to get a ruler out and measure (though spouse probably would), but this progress bar is very misleading in Scrivener. The bottom bar says I have roughly 280/1000 words left for this session. But that white space is too much for roughly 1/4 in my view. #AmWriting
A screen capture of Scrivener that has the title Mates & Allies and two blue lines. The bottom line is further away from the right hand side and could be 3/4 of the way across but I have math and spacial issues.

Seriously thinking about taking up a collection so all the horses can have rainbow fly masks this year. Pride in the pasture!

Otherwise it's time to wash the old ones and see how many are still good.

What is it with all of these sentators who include transphobic speech? Installing this label has been the most eye-opening thing I've done. Like I knew the democratic party writ large had thrown me and my community under the bus, but I figured they were watching, not driving.
Screen image of a Skeet by Senator Mark Warner marked as transphobia (general) because of language used on his account. (The skeet is not transphobic as it talks about programs the regime wishes to cut with a video)

Since I'm not sure it will show up in the below skeet, how fascinating that Sen Dick Durbin is marked as transphobic.

This is why I don't consider democrats automatic allies. Repealing Section 230 will silence queer and other marginalized voices as well as dissent against the regime.

Q4: I don't have anything that I've "edited to death" handy, but here are a couple of paragraphs I wrote today... It has not been edited. 😜 #SFFChat
Demario paused before getting up from his chair. “Don’t let them upset you,” he said. “Many of them haven’t left this chamber for years if not longer.” He smiled and gave a dagger-hard look to Councilor Summerson. She harrumph’d and stood. “Don’t come crying to me when another member of your family dies from magical backlash. We stopped this foolerly years ago, and we’ll do it again. The unicorns are nothing but a waste of our resources. A bauble. A status symbol. Those who bond with them deserve their fate.”

So I had to share. The two on the chair are my "research assistants" (as I tell my professors). The gray and white came here 3 years ago, the orange wandered onto the property about a year ago and was trapped/came indoors in May. The tabby in a box is the latest arrival and still not sure about it.
A tabby cat looking at the camera with gold eyes in a blue Friendly Farms (Aldi's) box in a dog crate. An orange cat sprawled across a flattened blue shark pet bed on a green avocado blanket with a gray and white cat trying to make room on the shark. This pile is on a brown-gray and pale blue-green zig-zag striped chair.
