Me last night: Worrying about my dumbass country is filling me with hopelessness and despair.
Universe: How about something at home to worry about?
Me: Sure, I... wait, no—
Universe: Too late! Get the car warmed up, you're going to the ER!
(Everyone's okay, but I'm at my limit.)

I really hate that map of North America where they’ve attached a handful of blue states to Canada and are like “this is the new country we should have.” 1) Canada doesn’t want us. 2) We’re just gonna leave people in Red State Hell due to where they’re geographically located? Not a good look.

We trust our eyes and ears. We trust locals, not corrupt federal officials or "news" outlets. We listen to what people say is happening in their city. We don't let other people think for us.

So my TT experiment netted me this lukewarm take today. I still don't understand why so many of y'all continue to think creators don't deserve to get paid.

I had someone tell me today that I should start identifying myself as neurospicy in bios, etc., because it would make me more relatable to my audience. Honestly, I just assumed y'all could tell.

I used to really love mods (especially for RPGs). Better hair, fun outfits, I'd scroll through Nexus for hours finding what I wanted. Now I'm like give me the one that makes the UI not janky and leave me alone, you're lucky I made time to play.

I've seen people doing their year end totals, and decided to take a look. I have told 250 books this year (not including giveaways, and missing a few cash sales at events). Last year it was 101. I may not be on a bestseller list yet, but that's progress, and I think I can be proud of that.

I have apparently transitioned from “this has to be in the mail tomorrow morning” to “or maybe you all can just be grateful when it gets there.” Happy holidays.

We went to a craft fair at a local high school today. Apparently it's the largest craft fair in the city, and is the ENTIRE first floor of the high school. 300+ vendors. Lots of fun stuff, though also disappointed at how many booths were just AI images slapped onto tumblers, shirts, towels, etc.

“I don’t like to read a series until it’s done.” Fine. Buy the book now, and don’t read it until the other ones come out. But if you want this series to be finished, someone needs to buy the early books.

I can tell I'm going to have to dig deep to find my inner silly goosery today.

"I pirate books so that I don't give Amazon money" is not the moral high ground some people seem to think it is. May I introduce you to libraries? Other books stores? Anything that doesn't support stealing from creatives who are barely making anything off that book to begin with?

I'm trying to find a cover of Gold Dust Woman that I heard who knows how long ago. It's not the Hole cover (which is a favorite), but it does have that more aggressive feel. Was it a metal cover? Maybe? Does anyone have a favorite Gold Dust Woman cover?

Book events can be full of beautiful moments, but also they're at least 50% rejection. Often more. For hours, for 2-3 days. So if it's not your thing, just thank the writer and move along. You don't need to tell them why you think their work is "gross" or what they're doing wrong.

Did you know that Longmont is closer to Fort Collins than it is Aurora? I DID NOT!
Today has been an adventure, but I’m at MileHiCon, my table is set up, I am wearing my Boo headband, and I am as ready for this as I’m capable of being.

My mother's cousins are my aunts. My uncle's children are 20+ years younger than me, and guess what? I'm their weird aunt.
This continues to be the dumbest timeline.

Did a brewery book event today with four other authors. Didn't sell a single book (not sure if anyone did). This is officially the worst event I've ever done, sales wise. A year ago this would have devastated me. Today I'm not happy, but I know it was the event, not me. Not my books.

This my tiny press’s project!
Just a reminder that we have a really fun Kickstarter going on right now for our Summoner anthologies. One written by myself and @cherryflavoredclea.bsky.social, the other by a group of our writer friends. They're fun, light-hearted, and sexy! Help spread the spooky season with some demon goodies!

Nothing convinces me you're compensating for something more than open carrying in the grocery store. In a city. With the gun just clipped to your pocket or waistband. Yes, you showed us all what a big man you are.

It's the day after an event, so I just wanna be lazy, but as I still have not made it on the NYT bestseller list, I apparently need to get back to work.
