This flu going around is no joke. I've been basically stuck in bed for almost 10 days now. Pulled a couple muscles coughing. Got behind on my work. Bleh. Hopefully I'm all better in time for Read the Rainbow signing later this month!
Whose great idea was it to get up at 6am to write a funeral scene that would make me sob at my keyboard? Oh right. It was mine... Killing characters is hard.

TMW the separate storylines converge in a book. Yeah. That's the best dopamine dump ever.

I said I would never write a Roscommon because I wasn't funny enough. I guess I'm about to find out if that's true.
Honor x Ziggy in the van is still my fav. Actually, Honor is my favorite character ever.
Ian Snow, Smut's Dickens of Dong@iansnowwriter.bsky.social · last yr.Writers of steamy fiction (or writers who have written steamy scenes in otherwise non-steamy books), what is your personal favorite sex scene of your own writing? Not necessarily your best, but one that made you sit back and say, "Well, goddamn." #WritingCommunity
If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · last yr.Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...
Today is the first day since January 20th that I got all my work done. Hopefully that means I'm back on track and can hit the rest of my deadlines...

I get why everyone is boycotting Amazon, but please continue to support indie authors through the boycott... buy direct from us or on other platforms. Amazon probably hasn't noticed much of a drop in their income, but many of us are really struggling right now and the boycott only hurts worse.

If you're one of my readers, you can always ask yourself "What would the Laskins do"? Because they wouldn't fuck with Nazis either. Maybe that'll be the theme for this month's mini-fic on Patreon. 👀
