She/Her. Librarian. Indie writer of SFF and Romance, often with bi leads. Interested in music, languages, and my cats.
#QueerPrompts Nothing particularly clever. It's all typical stuff like a person getting stranded because of a car breakdown or a kiss under the mistletoe. Nothing that would make people think of beloved scenes from rom-coms or anything like that. Just... people living their lives.
🌈CJ Aralore@cjaralore.bsky.social · 16h ago#QueerPrompts August 5: Any scene from a show/movie that's like a scene in your story?
#QueerPrompts My characters seem to do both. Outwardly, they like big friend groups. The closest friends, though, are few. It is a privilege to get so close to the characters.
🌈CJ Aralore@cjaralore.bsky.social · 2d ago#QueerPrompts August 4: Do your character(s) prefer one close friend or a big friend group?
#QueerPrompts “Do you know Stacy Miller?” Yeah, she knew her. Stacy was a senior in the same BFA program as Jenn, but they weren’t personal friends. Unlike Jenn, Stacy seemed to be doing all the things their teachers wanted. -A Work of Art, out 9/23
🌈CJ Aralore@cjaralore.bsky.social · 3d ago#QueerPrompts August 3: Scene or snippet with "friend" or "enemy"
#QueerPrompts Friends or enemies? I realized during revisions that my friendly and confident model Mari doesn't actually have close friends at all. She's the life of the party most people like, but no one gets close to the real her. So she's truly more likely to have enemies.

#QueerPrompts Intro and WIP I'm JD (she/her), writer of SFF and Romance, often with bi leads. I may be WIP hopping this month as I'll pass one story off to the editor and then work on something else. For now, I'm finishing last edits on A Work of Art, out 9/23 Sapphic college artist/model romance

#QueerWriters I finished big edits for my WIP last week. I am doing the final prose polish before sending it to the editor. I had hoped today, but in reality, it will probably be Friday. My true goal is to be DONE with A Work of Art by the weekend! [Then it's the editor's responsibility.]

Plan on handing over my manuscript to my editor next week. I just found the most delightful typo. "Winter Snowcase." It was supposed to be "Showcase." The snow had other plans.
Hey Azizona! Wanna come meet me, a bunch of other local authors, and buy some signed books? Well the Mall Fall Book Fair at Superstition Springs Center is only a couple of weeks away! I'll be there on August 15th from 10am-5pm. Make sure you plan your Saturday accordingly!
#QueerWriters Goals My goals are SIMPLE I'm challenging myself to finish revisions on my short novella. I have 6 chapters that need attention. If I can get that done, then I can share with the editor early. If not, the editors are too booked for me to have the release timeline I'd like.

#LesFicFri From upcoming release A Work of Art (9/23) What if Jenn had been in mortal danger? In Mari’s hands, her danger was of a different sort. “Did something happen when you talked to your professor?” Mari asked, studying her face, despite Jenn not meeting her gaze.

I didn't realize I had to say I wasn't going to pay for a service. I was hoping for an interested reader or an exchange of manuscripts with another author. If you just want the paid job, just stop before you try to message. I won't say yes. I'm sorry I even asked.

#WeeknightWriters A5 Well, if a few of you wouldn't mind being betas, that would be awesome. Other than that, take care of yourselves. Life can be hard, but community helps.
Weeknight Writers@weeknightwriters.bsky.social · 3w agoQ5: What can we, the Weeknight Writers community, do in the next week to make your life a little more pleasant? #WeeknightWriters
#WeeknightWriters To be honest, I need to take a real look at my health situation. Start my journey learning how to batch meals and do that prep so I am less likely to make bad decisions that will poorly affect my health. Then I'll have energy and brain power for my writing.

#WeeknightWriters A3 Joys My cats *always*. Specific to my revisions, they are going well, and the feeling of good word-smithing goes very far! Plus, I've been working with a writing coach online, and got this to go with my WIP. I'm dazzled at how awesome it is. Mood boards are new for me.

#WeeknightWriters A1 I've been quite fatigued this week. I can't explain it and don't want to look too closely at my health. (JD's mom: How's your sugar? JD: Uh...) The revisions I'm doing are actually going well when I have energy to do them. This little nothing of a story is turning out sweet.
