This flu going around is no joke. I've been basically stuck in bed for almost 10 days now. Pulled a couple muscles coughing. Got behind on my work. Bleh. Hopefully I'm all better in time for Read the Rainbow signing later this month!
Whose great idea was it to get up at 6am to write a funeral scene that would make me sob at my keyboard?

Oh right.

It was mine...

I said I would never write a Roscommon because I wasn't funny enough. I guess I'm about to find out if that's true.
I agree with you. In a perfect world, I'd pull my books from KU ASAP. But it currently makes up 70% of my income (down from 80%). I'm doing my best to devest. But it doesn't happen overnight and a blanket boycott still only hurts smaller creators like me. That effort is better put elsewhere.
Honor x Ziggy in the van is still my fav. Actually, Honor is my favorite character ever.
Writers of steamy fiction (or writers who have written steamy scenes in otherwise non-steamy books), what is your personal favorite sex scene of your own writing? Not necessarily your best, but one that made you sit back and say, "Well, goddamn."

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

This is why we need morally gray heroes. They fill that need!
The only people a boycott of KU is going to hurt are the authors. KU's income makes up a TINY bit of Amazon's income (and Bezos only owns like 8% of the company). Yes, the payouts suck. But for ppl like me, it's how I pay my bills and feed my family.
Today is the first day since January 20th that I got all my work done. Hopefully that means I'm back on track and can hit the rest of my deadlines...
