Hello new followers! I should probably introduce myself. I’m a bi, transmasc genderfluid writer of mm romance. I write mostly romcoms and contemporary romance about guys struggling with anxiety and their deep-seated conviction that they don’t deserve love.

If you want to make an author’s day... write a review❤️. A book review helps/encourages/inspires a writer more than anything. So if you’ve read a book, please leave a review🙏. Even just a few words like “I loved it” makes all the difference❤️ #writingcommunity
It’s a wonderful event and a chance to see Split Rock’s beacon lit! The lighthouse was decommissioned in 1969 and is only lit for this event. I’ve wanted to go for years and grabbed the chance since it was on a Sunday this year.
Yesterday my wife and I made the drive up to the North Shore for the Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Beacon Lighting at Split Rock Lighthouse, which commemorates the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald and the loss of all hands in 1975 #edmundfitzgerald #lakesuperior #northshore #minnesota #lighthouse

Surprised that only one person seems to have mentioned Winter’s Orbit and Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell! And it’s been a real long time since I’ve read it, but iirc Anathem by Neal Stephenson fits this description.
…their own expectations and experiences and baggage really helps me personally to avoid getting dragged into the outrage cycle or an anxiety spiral about why so and so hates me.
It’s HARD to remove all the things swirling around in your own brain to recognize, hey, maybe this thing that I assume was meant as negative or even a direct attack on me wasn’t meant that way at all. Obviously we can only be in our own brains but recognizing that everyone is operating with…
Yeah—there’s something you see in corporate settings a lot called “assuming positive intent.” You don’t know where other people are coming from, what kind of day they’ve had, what they’re thinking about, the tone they meant to use (if over text), etc.
