You know, I would hate it if art was only ever expressed by people who were exactly like me. Thank goodness diversity is reality. The world is more beautiful for it. And I get to learn things! I love learning things!

I do! I find friendship love such a powerful love. In The Stealth Lovers, sure, there is the friends-turned-lovers thing with Xax and Viv, but there is also the unyeilding bond Xax has with Ophelia. It’s not romantic at all but a heckin’ strong friendship love. #SpoonieAuthChat

So, I’m still thinking about the Bad Bunny performance. I feel like it should be taught in schools as an example of how the performing arts can be used to express a cultural and historical essay.
So much thought went into it.

I’m starting to wonder that if I get back into watching NFL football (used to be a massive fan), I should follow Green Bay. They’re very community oriented, and I love cheese.

If you have AI generate your books, then you miss out on the joys of First Draft Cake. Just saying.
Also, it’s stealing and lazy AF.

I would like to lodge an official complaint against my body. Seriously, I want to speak to the manager. That’s right; my pain is so annoying, I have acheived Karenage! 😳

I never bought anything from lululemon, and now that I’ve seen those brown and red uniforms, I can’t wait to continue not buying anything from them. 😳

I’m not going to say that I “laughed hysterically” anymore. Instead, I’ll say, “I laughed from the depths of my uterus.”
It just feels more medically accurate.😉

The 50something female protagonist in my upcoming space-opera romcom is autistic and disabled. There is such a freedom that comes with putting myself so much into a character and how I would probably respond in the same situation. It’s unbelievably liberating to be that unmasked while writing.
