Went outside to do some filming for the first time in forever, and OF COURSE the neighbour's lawn guy shows up. Just my luck!

Morning writing session is done, with another 2k words in the WIP now.
#SumLuv D5: A tale as old as time: I stole my grandmother's Harlequins. Didn't really like them. It was fanfic that made me (eventually) realize that I do enjoy romantic fiction.
📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚@ellieyellu.bsky.social · 16h agoDo you remember the first romance novel you read? Where did you get it from? 🧡 #SumLuv 🧡
Okay, I got started on a moderation list for all the beta reader bots. Mutuals, feel free to share and let me know when you see something!
They do not want people able to think critically. This component of fascism blends anti-empericism with the development of newspeak, a diminished language made of words acceptable to the state. Thinking critically with a wealth of words is poison to fascism.

Morning writing session is done, and I've reached the halfway mark in this novella draft!
BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Five months ago, we learned that ICE seized drawings and letters from children in the Dilley ICE concentration camp. I sued under the Freedom of Information Act. Today, I got responsive documents. www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...
BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: ICE Seized Drawings from Children in Detention. I Sued, and Today I Got Them.
Five months ago, I filed a Freedom of Information Act Request for papers seized from children at the Dilley ICE Detention Center. Today, I got a heartbreaking response.

#SumLuv D4: Gave a half answer to this yesterday, but: Damian and Zad do NOT like each other at the outset. Damian sees Zad as competition, so he's (passive) aggressive, which results in him insulting Zad, who gets his hackles up. Zad is an angel and also initially prejudiced against demons!
📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚@ellieyellu.bsky.social · 2d agoMeet cutes don't have to be "cute"! They are a plot device 🧡 But! Let's talk about how they DO feel about each other early on! Is it fairytale love? Is it *lust* at first sight? Hate at first sight? All?? Snips here are welcome (always welcome if you want to answer anything with a snip) 🧡 #SumLuv
I'm not at the lake physically ... but I am there spiritually. Enjoying a long weekend here!
#SumLuv D3: I love meet cutes, but I abhor the term. As for how I write them ... it's usually meet awkward. Or meet hate. The MCs in this WIP are kind of a mix?
📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚@ellieyellu.bsky.social · 3d ago"In which somebody runs into somebody else, and then something falls, and they begin to talk, and their eyes meet and they realize they are attracted to one another" —Rodger Ebert Do you have a classic one? Or one that passes 😆 Did you avoid altogether? Snips welcome! #SumLuv
Morning writing session: 5k added to the WIP. I'm approaching the halfway mark with this novella, and the MCs are getting closer ... 👀
#QueerWriters goals day! -revising Book 2 of this rival angel and demon bakers series -drafting Book 3 of the same! -typesetting Book 2 in the Coyote Creek series -marketing stuff It's a short work week here, so we'll see how much progress I can make. Today's still largely about relaxing!
AmaraJLynn 🦹 drafting Fire & Feathers@amaralynn.bsky.social · 2d ago#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! #WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters
This is a really powerful article and I encourage you to read it. Trans history is too often missing or destroyed. This story gave me hope—queer people in even darker times finding inspiration and family with their peers.
Lisa Severn@lisasevern.uk · 3d ago"the fact that the group came together in solidarity at all [..] signifies a big shift in how trans people saw themselves. They weren’t freaks or weirdos or medically afflicted; they were part of an oppressed class" In the 1890s! www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/07/a-se...
Liberal "allies" of the trans community: If you're wondering why trans people are so upset with ostensible "allies" like @kenjennings.bsky.social posting about New York Times products like NYT Games, understand that the NYTimes has & is actively trying to destroy trans lives!

Wow, it is raining cats and dogs out there. I think I'm going to stay in and bake today.
#queerwriters line share: no "hurrying" in this WIP yet, but here's one of the MCs being impatient: "He waited. And waited. And waited some more. When nothing happened, he glanced up at the clock on the wall, slowly ticking out the seconds. Really? It had only been five minutes?"
AmaraJLynn 🦹 drafting Fire & Feathers@amaralynn.bsky.social · 3d ago#queerwriters Sunday: Line Share Day! Today's theme: hurry #WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters
About 3,500 words written this morning! The WIP is over 5k words now. I'm hoping for a fairly quick drafting process with this novella, so this progress is right on track. Also finished my turn through Book 2 of the series. One more round of revisions, and it's off to Editor!
#SumLuv D2: I'm writing about Damian, a demon baker, and the two clueless angels who opened up a cafe across the street from his shop. He just critiqued the one angel's baking and unwittingly put the angel on the warpath. So I guess we're doing enemies/rivals to lovers now!
📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚@ellieyellu.bsky.social · 4d agoWho are you writing about? What makes a romantic story about them interesting? Note there will not be a character art or face cast prompt, so feel free to do that here if you'd like! Don't forget alt text for images if you post them. #SumLuv
#QueerWriters check-in day! I did manage to get most of what I wanted to accomplished. Daycare was smooth, two projects were kicked off my desk, a book was revised, one draft finished, AND I published a new book! 🎉 Relaxing now, and hoping next week is quieter.
AmaraJLynn 🦹 drafting Fire & Feathers@amaralynn.bsky.social · 4d ago#queerwriters Saturday: Check in Day! How was your week? Did you accomplish what you set out to do? Share your progress, encourage, cheer, and support others! #WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters
I wasn't going to write today, because I wanted to finished reviewing Book 2 before diving into the next draft. Buuuut I was compelled. Scribbled about 2k words, so I guess I'm drafting this novella now ...
Me every month: why have I been feeling so melancholy about everything? This week was really good for me, actually! My period: heeeeeyyyy 😎 Me: GASP you again!!!! You'd think I'd clue in.
Psst! I have a new book out! You can check it out this weekend, and take your first trip to Coyote Creek. books2read.com/u/4A9M9J . . . . #mmromancebooks #mpregbooks #omegaversebooks #shifterromance #smalltownromance
Hiya, #SumLuv! My name's Cherry (she/her). I've been writing since I was 8. "Professionally," I've been in the game for about 10 years or so. This month, I'm diving back into a series of novellas about rival angel and demon bakers. I'm revising Books 1 + 2 and hoping to draft 3 + 4.
