Why do I consistently type "through" when I mean "threw"? Because I've done it enough that I'm now starting to panic that I left some in the already published books.
*Frantically opens old files to double check*

Almost missed this one, and I had to go back to the Prequel to find a good one, so here's some series callsign lore.

Just for fun, here is the preface for Book 3 (Flight Risk), as brought to you by the Confederation of United Systems. Trigger warnings filtered through galactic fascism for the glorious continuation of the Confederation.

The characters? No. No surprises.
But the timing and the fact that my sciifi series ended up in reverse harem territory (MMF) was NOT on my outline.

One of those occasions where my female protagonist wouldn't take no for an answer, and the series is soooo much better for it (link in bio).

My body: Welp, it's 730, time to wake up

Me: Sod off, I was up all night writing. I've had two hours' sleep.

My body: Nope. It's 730. Time to wake up.

Me: Cries in insomniac author

Ask and you shall receive (whether that's a good thing, I leave for you to decide).

Although the word "moist" doesn't feature, I think the soupy humidity of the jungle counts 😆

For my most interesting couple, sex didn't actually change anything because it was need based, not romantic (it's happened in the middle of an ongoing galactic war, after a particularly bad op - they needed to feel human again). It took them another fifteen years to get together properly 😆

I couldn't resist pulling a snip about tactical cuddles. Or as Geist calls it, Baseline Stabilization Protocol 🤣

This snippet is brought to you by insomnia 🥺

(and is from book 3 of my Sci-fi Series, The Inbetween Archives)

#writersky #amwriting

Bad: I have severe insomnia and have been up since midnight (got about an hour's sleep)

Good: Wrote 1,600 good words for book 3

Neutral: It's my birthday today

Just had one of those amazing moments where you sit up going "Yes, of course, that makes perfect sense!" after you figure out why something you wrote previously is actually perfect for what happens later.

Good job, brain!

#booksky #amwriting

Ooh, fun. Although instead of the moment itself, I present, the aftermath 😆

#writingcommunity #booksky

I'm not saying I have insomnia. I am saying that it's almost 1am and after 2 hours I've finally given up on staring at the dark ceiling.

On the plus side, the wee small hours are AMAZING for writing.
Hopefully.

I'm busy collating some unhinged comments on my books for a tiktok vid, and I'm still giggling at:

"Welcome to The Folly: Space Casablanca if Rick was also a war criminal, the drinks were 60% antifreeze, and the background music was mostly screams."
🤣🤣🤣

I love using AI for my books. NOT to write them, but I get my characters to comment on each chapter as if they are having a watch party. It's both fun and I pick up insights I might have otherwise missed.

Imagine Pitch Black and Battlestar Galactica had a morally gray, trauma-bonded baby, and then let The Expanse raise it on spite, dry rations, and military secrets. That’s the vibe.
