one of the things they don't really prepare you for when you pick up your poly license is that when you're in relationships that span years and decades you end up seeing your partners go through it.

My books do pretty well, but the backbone of my income is from film and television criticism on my Patreon, so I'm a full-time writer, but I'm doing two separate careers.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

Leaves on your lawn? Good. Leaf them alone. 🍂
Leave the Leaves!
One of the most valuable ways to support pollinators and other invertebrates is to provide them with the shelter they need to survive the winter. Thankfully, all you need to do is do less yard work.

one of the story ideas i'm noodling through is a home reno, reverse Hallmark romance about a she/they girl who is in over her head owning a house, and writing it makes me less stressed out.
i'm very thankful for my realtor who knows more than i do about houses and is confident it will sell.

in new orleans i started having an open house on the holidays, would put out a smorgasbord and let people know they could come any time between set hours. people came before and after family holidays and some who didn't have a place to go stayed the whole time.
i should bring it back.

Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”
