My drabble "Cold Coffee Comfort" will be up on 101words.org next week on 9/12. Drabbles are a fun excercise and I'm always impressed at what a good writer can do with just 100 words, or in this case, 101.

I was back in central PA for a wedding so I made time to visit the Midtown Scholar. It's still one of my favorite bookstores of all time. #booksky

Book club at the Reads & Company bookstore was fantastic as always. This month we read Disco Witches of Fire Island by @blairfell.bsky.social We all loved it! It's so much more optimistic and uplifting than I expected. Now I just want a complete copy of the Disco Witch Manifesto!

I had a great time at the Phoenixville Pride Fest yesterday where I got to meet @blairfell.bsky.social He gave some kind encouragement to keep writing and I'm very excited to read his book Disco Witches of Fire Island for the Reads and Company book club. #prideweek

Popped into a small bookstore at the mall. They had a really nice local author display with a whole shelf for the shop owner's books (nice perk). Love to see it. #booksky #writing

Just finished Fevre Dream by #GeorgeR.R.Martin If you like classic vampire tales or 19th century America as a setting, you owe it to yourself to read this one.

I'd force everyone to read it if I could, but in the words of Abner Marsh, "We all got to make our goddamned choices!"

At Read&Company I saw the paperback of Someone You Can Build a Nest In by @wiswell.bsky.social. I had gifted my hardback copy, so I had to buy it again for my shelf. I can't recommend this book enough. As a horror fanatic, as an asexual, as an aspiring author, it means so much to me.

I stopped at the one phenomenal Reads and Company bookstore and picked up Stag Dance by @torreypeters.bsky.social for a book club at the end of the month. I read Detransition, Baby a few years ago at it blew my mind! Very excited for this!

Super cute little bookstore with a well curated collection.

Got up to take #5amWritersClub literally and work on my book for a an hour or two before the day begins. But the dog is asleep in the room and the lights or computer would wake him, so I guess I'm just writing bad poems in the dark until he's up :)
