Is Viktor upside-down today? Yes. #CatSky #teef

A black and brown tabby is lying on his back with his paws tucked up front in his back paws loose. He is on a beige carpet and there is a catnip mouse and an ice pack next to him.

A close up of the cat's face where you can see his squinchy eyes and his fangs. Heart stoppingly cute.

Unsolicited advice from someone who has been dealing with recovery from rotator cuff surgery for the last six weeks and will be for at least another month: If you have a Windows 11 machine, [window key]+h opens the voice to text and it's not bad. It's not great but it's not bad. Good luck.

Wishing everyone a great weekend!

A moose is standing in front of a still lake in a dark forest. A wolf is biting the hindleg of the moose, looking smug.

The moose looks at the wolf and grins in an evil manner, with huge sharp teeth. The wolf looks terrified.

If you enjoy my books, run (don't walk!) and pick up @chaceverity.com's One Heart (zombie romance!!) or their Loved by the Demon series.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

Who is yours? Either the greatest or your favorite?

Every year, for the last few years, @fallenlights.net and I get pumpkins to put out with our wildlife cameras.

The process has yet to disappoint.

The blatant antisemitism of it... I feel like I should be inured to it by now, but it feels like a gut punch.

Damn girl, are you an angel? Because you keep attacking me with a flaming sword and howling in a language no mortal can comprehend. Also the feathers.

Feel like that's my life lately. Randomly cried during a not at all sad part of an episode of Psych yesterday. (hugs to you, friendo)

Ya boi is wearing jeans and a hoodie today. This is huge. Getting a hoodie on without pain and buttoning jeans? My shoulder is definitely on the mend. As much as I hate physical therapy, I know it works.

#LGBTQWriteAThon my WIP which is still in the planning phase has a named cast of characters approaching 60 people, so it would be impossible to capture everyone (it's a very queer group). I'll just focus on the main pride flags: bisexual (Viv and Liam) and trans (Bobby and Penny).

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
