There is a strain of people who have watered down feminism so much that they think being a feminist means supporting women even when they are dead ass wrong.

No, being feminist is holding women to the same standards as everyone else. That's equality.

My trans demon romance 'A Damning Desire' premieres Wednesday, November 5th, on Wattpad. I am pretty excited for it.

An illustration of a handsome dark dark-skinned Black man with gold wire-framed glasses, wearing a sweater, shirt, and red tie combo, being held by a huge, enormous demon that has gold eyes and black goat horns. - A Damning Desire by Jasper Hyde (ingloriousgigi) - A Dark Transgender Monster Romance

Any indie authors got new books coming out this November or December?

The new releases challenge will be the hardest part of HRCYED, I swear. 😅

The only reason I stay on threads is that I get more engagement on there. But it's a dumpster fire. All social media companies are garbage.

Thank you so much! I am so worried about it, and it's kinda keeping me up at night.

Can I be real with you for a second? I finished out fleshing out the last act of A Vicious Thirst - Volume 1 and I am kinda terrified. I know that this volume is one of many but I am scared of writing endings. I always fear that I am going to disappoint my readers.

I want to take a moment to shout out my favorite local horror author V. Castro. If you haven't read Goddess of Filth yet, then you really should.

I don't understand people who have to self-insert with every book they read. There is a time and place for that.

I am a suburban Negro, so I tend to read suburban Negro shit, but I have nothing but respect for Urban Romance. I will fight you in the streets over Urban Romance.

The way that the book community has a self-insert problem is not talked about loudly enough. They are not reading books that can't relate to because "aka this book is too Black or Brown or LGBTQ+" and so I can't self-insert.

Let it be known: if you are going to step to a Black woman in a bonnet at 7am in the morning? Then you are either brave or foolish.

Apparently so. I saw an author talking about how readers hate third person.

I will always write in third-person limited POV and if you have an issue with that, then don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

The one thing I can't live without is my address thermal labeler. I use it all the time because writing the address of people is a bitch after the third envelope.
