repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

As Tonda Fuller @isobelcarr.com is fading from us in peace and love, may I invite you to please take a peek at the GFM to support her care, and her caregivers. It is 92% funded.

I loved to see her at RT and RWA. Always funny, a true gift to hang out with in any bar, and so welcoming. 💕

Billie does a ton of work to support the romance community, if we all chipped in $10 or $25 we could give her some breathing room!

I'm sorry I keep asking for help, but I literally have nowhere else to turn. I am doing my best to get back on my feet, both literally & metaphorically, but that will be exponentially harder if I lose my apartment. I desperately need $482 for rent & enough utilities to avoid shut off. Please.
