Convincing you to preorder Author, Author with quotes of Ben overthinking:
Living people kept on living…Kept on thinking about everything they might have done differently, every choice they wish they could make again. Life wasn’t a story, it was a strip of film—single exposure, no edits. No mercy.

I'm trying to plan for the rest of the year, and for the first time since I started self-publishing, all but one of my planned book releases are already written. That's very comforting. I'm tired of being in a rush.

I sat down to journal all the stressors that are making me bug out right now and the list was way shorter than I expected. Maybe I just need to drink less coffee.

For a while I was "I'll stay on Threads to be a voice for my community" 🏳️🌈🥺✨ but seriously the LibGen shit is just so craven and pathetic that I don't know if I can give Meta any more of my free content. They've already stolen enough.

“Ru…is this all you’ll ever be?
“It’s been good enough for you so far.”
“There’s so much you’re denying yourself. I don’t mean socially, I mean here, in your heart.”
“My heart is pickled.”
“It’s not. You’re a good man, Ru.”
“Then why is it so easy to be the worst?”

After today I decided I never again want to waste my time arguing with cis gays about why supporting Harry Potter and the Queen of the TERFs is harmful, so I wrote a blog summarizing the whole thing. Please do share it widely instead of wasting yours.
So someone told you supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans

I once went to a conference about consent, and the one thing I never forget was when the presenter spoke about consent being *what the individual wants* and not what you think they want.
True consent makes space for: "I hate everything that you're doing to me, don't ever stop."

I just did a head count and all of the main characters and their close friends in Author, Author are either queer or trans or trusted allies. Even Harlan’s mom is unfazed by her son being gay, which is a lot for a story set in 1957. We have always been here!

“I pressed my eye to the knot hole and waited.”
From a story Ben my MC is writing. Another ‘blue’ book for his pulp fiction press.
I like starting books with a letter, a newspaper article, or other bit of writing. It's like a tight zoom that backs out to show the whole scene.

My mother is a writer and I remember her early attempts at fiction. This influence simmered under the surface until we got our first computer in 1990. I wrote a bunch of terrible teenage stuff, then ignored writing for the next 20 years while I tried other things. Now its all I do.
