A classic. Theo and Carter get their shit together, then immediately pretend like they didn’t.

Dorks (affectionate)

Did I mention his name is Ned and he collects vintage sweaters?

I love him, your honor

Pick One:

Strangers-to-friends-to lovers featuring a grouchy reporter and an asexual ghost hunter starting a podcast together.

OR

Enemies to lovers stuck in a cabin over new years who take their time finding their way to each other?

(I have others but these are the ones that might actually sell)

I still don't have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder, so no, I'm afraid your email did not "find me well."

It’s a lot of technology to explain to folks who are still befuddled by iPhones. So, it’s better for everyone involved.

I’ve already explored that, and it doesn’t fly with my family

I’m not keen on re-writing my fics to be novels. They’re one or the other, to me, and never the twain shall meet. I would be pulling one of my half-finished original projects if I did this.

My sister, jokingly, said I should finish something to self publish so I can pay for my wedding dress fabric.

Joke’s on her because that would be a fantastic idea — if only I could finish something 😂

If it’s worth banning, it’s worth owning.

They’re these massive layered box pleats, so when you walk, the fabric pulls away. If definitely has a winged look to it!

I’m not a “dripping in it” jewelry gal, BUT my Sisi Stars will always be my most glamorous addition to my Victorian ballgown.

Managing other adults’ bad behavior is about to make me lose my mind.

And no, I’m not talking about fandom. I’m talking about real people in the meet space.

Send help or a sledgehammer.
