truth time—I hadn’t worked on Wil’s draft in a week. Had some knee pain flare up and I decided I wanted to watch youtube and feel sorry for myself instead. But tonight I did two writing sprints and managed to write about 800 words! A victory!

Sold some ebooks on my site this morning! Thanks for the surprise, y’all!

As a reminder, if you’re boycotting ama/zon, search out indie authors in other ways!

My books are available on MelELemon.com 📚💜🐺

Thank you to everyone who purchased books in Oct and helped me support a great organization in my community—the Westside Queer Resource Center! I ended up rounding up to add a little bit more. Doing what we can to make our communities a bit brighter!

Mutual pining is one of my favorite tropes, and it comes in so many flavors!

I want those wonderfully unhinged comments, too!

This book has been a refreshing read in my collection. It is the first book I've ever read that is written as a nonbinary character and one who struggles with bipolar disorder. It's been a perfectly relatable story. I adore the diversity.
It’s Emerald Moon Release day! I can’t wait for y’all to hang out with Jo and get to meet Cass 💚🐺

Buying info is on MelELemon.com or the link in my bio. Thank y’all for your support! I hope you love it!

On behalf of all self-published authors, I authorize you to reach out & tell us if you really enjoyed something we wrote.

We’re all dog-paddling in a sea of self-doubt & impostor syndrome & those little messages mean a lot.

Unless stated otherwise, our DMs/inboxes are always open for kind words 💞

Making progress on Wilma’s book! She’s got an outline of story beats with some details. MCs have names. It’s got a seasonal vibe. But there’s a lot left to do.

I told myself I only needed to write one sentence today. I procrastinated for hours, but finally wrote one sentence. Then erased it. Then another. And erased that. Finally I wrote one that I let stick around (for now). And I wrote a few more!

I published Violet Moon on Nov 2, 2023. Last year I celebrated by getting a tattoo of Sera and Parisa as wolves. This year I taught my panel at Kumoricon about self-publishing.

Thank you for all your support for my first book over the years. It’s been overwhelming in the most positive way.

Real talk — sales are down. Way down. Way below what I expect from previous years. Amaz*n was my primary source of author income. With the boycott, people just don’t seem to be seeking me out in other ways.

Kumoricon 2025! I updated my writing panel for this year. Half info session/half hype session, all writing goodness. Sunday from 9:30-10:30 in Panel 1. Let me know if you’ll be there 💜
