Along with the reminder that bi/pan people are still bi/pan no matter who their partner is, please remember that romance novels about 2 characters of different genders can still be queer romances. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told my bi4bi MF romances don’t count.

I’m getting excited all over again as I dive into final edits of the manuscript before it’s formatted. There are so many “final” steps to publishing a book, it’s easy to get impatient in between steps. Momentum feels good. #amediting #writingcommunity #selfpublishing
Lets stop calling essential native plants weeds Lets stop calling area of rich nature and bio diversity wasteland Because people have been brainwashed to think that so called weeds and so called wasteland are worthless and should be destroyed when in fact they are essential to life on Earth
The book cover is finished! I can’t quite share it yet, but I just wanted to shout to the rooftops that it looks amazing and my fourth book is almost ready to see the light of day!!! #indiebook #solarpunk #bookrelease2026

DID YOU KNOW? 🚨 Dystopian media often tells us that #disabled people’s lives matter less, and calls this pragmatism. “For the good of the many” often requires that disabled characters die and/or be left behind. That's one reason why we're #CrippingDystopia in the disability in dystopia anthology!
I'm so excited for this workshop! If you've ever struggled making sense of your symptoms or chronic illnesses, I hope that this program will provide a few more tools for understanding and conveying your experience of your body.
