Hey #BookSky, can you help a writer out? 💙📚

My Regency hero is saved on the battlefield by a stray dog that he then brings home with him. Send pics of your favorite mutts for inspiration, pleeeeease!

Signed, a writer without a dog. 🐶

It's Day Eight of the #WriterFriendsChallenge!

"I don’t know about you, but a woman’s place is wherever the hell she wants to be."

I have lots of thoughts for #InternationalWomensDay. Come by the blog to see what I have to say (link I bio).

A woodland background with a green, semi-transparent overlay with the title @Wrtiter.Friends.Challenge ~March 2025~. There are two columns of prompts, but only the first 8 are visible, the rest are blurred out. The prompt for #8 reads: International Women's Day. At the bottom of the overlay is the line "Created by @susanleighneedham".

A light blue background with white clouds. At the top in a pink rectangle is "INTERNATIONAL" below that it reads "WOMEN'S DAY" and in small letters below that it reads #AccelerateAction. Below that is an illustrated group of women of various perceived races, body types, clothing, hair colors, and disabilities. Each woman has at least one arm raised as a show of strength.

So that’s the plan for the labor shortage after all the immigrants are deported.

I figure if I fake a positive mindset long enough to write I can live vicariously through my characters until the nightmare that is this current cycle of fear and intimidation is over.

And my loaf of bread will survive another day. 🍞

But the world keeps turning, so, I am choosing to stay GROUNDED, PRESENT, and POSITIVE and get back to the real work of telling Romance stories where love in all its forms wins.

Christina Alexandra @authorchrisalex.bsky.social · Feb 11

Anyone else spiraling the past few weeks with the constant barrage of breaking news? It's turned my positive outlook into ragey at the smallest inconvenience. I guess if I can't lash out at those who are destroying the world, I can take it out on the loaf of bread that didn't slice properly. 😤
