#TBRuary Day 5: Gender Spectrum
I very much enjoyed Guarding Gus by Karryn Nagel, and her second book, What to Suspect when You're Suspecting is on my TBR! Highly recommended for those who enjoy cozies! (who doesn't!?)

Choose a book by or about someone with a different gender identity than you! I encourage cis folks to celebrate trans and non-binary authors here, just remember trans men are men and trans women are women. 💜

Characters borrow little things from me here and there. A love of baking cupcakes. Demonic guinea pigs. I confess that the book where I made one character a teacher... every preposterous thing they had to do in staff inservice... was not made up. 😆

#fantasyindiesfebruary Day 2 Romance in WIP
Norah would insist that she isn't good at romance, but there are lots of love languages, and Ember would point out that she's very protective, always makes her feel safe, and that her wings are very cozy (despite all demon denials to the contrary.) 🦇

#fantasyindiesjanuary Day 27 How has WIP changed?
I LOVE the little ways my plots change as I draft. I start with a huge 10-15K outline every time and as I write, I discover little better details about each little plot thread that make the story even better! (That I can't share... SPOILERS!) 💕💕
