This book has been a refreshing read in my collection. It is the first book I've ever read that is written as a nonbinary character and one who struggles with bipolar disorder. It's been a perfectly relatable story. I adore the diversity.

On behalf of all self-published authors, I authorize you to reach out & tell us if you really enjoyed something we wrote.

We’re all dog-paddling in a sea of self-doubt & impostor syndrome & those little messages mean a lot.

Unless stated otherwise, our DMs/inboxes are always open for kind words 💞

Making progress on Wilma’s book! She’s got an outline of story beats with some details. MCs have names. It’s got a seasonal vibe. But there’s a lot left to do.

I told myself I only needed to write one sentence today. I procrastinated for hours, but finally wrote one sentence. Then erased it. Then another. And erased that. Finally I wrote one that I let stick around (for now). And I wrote a few more!

I published Violet Moon on Nov 2, 2023. Last year I celebrated by getting a tattoo of Sera and Parisa as wolves. This year I taught my panel at Kumoricon about self-publishing.

Thank you for all your support for my first book over the years. It’s been overwhelming in the most positive way.

Real talk — sales are down. Way down. Way below what I expect from previous years. Amaz*n was my primary source of author income. With the boycott, people just don’t seem to be seeking me out in other ways.

Kumoricon 2025! I updated my writing panel for this year. Half info session/half hype session, all writing goodness. Sunday from 9:30-10:30 in Panel 1. Let me know if you’ll be there 💜

I could use your help supporting my local queer resource center! Buy my books this month or share this post! Don’t like ama*zon? I offer ebooks on my website direct from me. Thanks for your support 💜🐺

I’m donating my October sales to continue to help make things a little less awful in my community 💜 yes, I know it’s already past the halfway mark, but it’s never too late (and I just decided to do it). Help me support a great org!🌈 If you can’t make a purchase, please share this post! Thank you!

Writers’ group met today, so that means Wil now has a loose outline (of story beats and some dialogue snippets, at least). Progress!

The best present is some book sales! Tell your buddies 💜 buying info in bio and on MelELemon.com. and have a lovely day today!

What are you into lately?
I was into K-pop back in the Big Bang/Girl’s Generation era, but kpdh has really been the gateway to getting back into it. Always liked Black Pink, but now I’m listening to more.
Also does anyone wanna talk about Japanese train vids? I got reccs.

Happy Lesbian Day!! To all the fabulous lesbians, both real and fictional, thank you for your excellence.

No AI comes anywhere near any of my books. The text and the art were all made by a human. And, if I haven’t been clear enough, I hate that theft machine and environment destroyer. Also I’m keeping my em dashes.
October 8, 2025 at 7:48 PM
My books have em dashes because I’m neurospicy, not because of shitty AI.

Book 3 is in the (for real now) starting stages! The start of a book project is fun and yet filled with decision fatigue. There’s so many ways it can go.
