This is for my WIP titled, Summoned By The TwinkDemon. (Yes it's available for PO). - Reminder it's unedited!

The building and city were louder than Xaph was used to, the Crimson Reaches not nearly as densely populated as Earth.

An excerpt from Summoned By The TwinkDemon by Sage L Mattison. The text reads: It was quiet. The hum of the air conditioner and the soft creaking of an old building settling around them. The building and city were louder than Xaph was used to, the Crimson Reaches not nearly as densely populated as Earth. But he was well practiced at tuning out unnecessary noise while relaxing. He needed rest after the night before of staying awake, angry at the summoning. Xaph wanted to have no issues being alert the next day as they traveled.

Xaph: Hard, crunchy, tough. Being around Oak is like dipping him into milk though, and he's super soft toward the man (even when he's making him hurt).

Oak: Something beautiful, nice frosting. BUT there's a spice that's REALLY unexpected and overwhelming once you bite into it.

I didn't have anything for day 2 so here's day 3!

This is from my WIP titled, Summoned By The TwinkDemon. Reminder this is unedited.

#WIPSnips #QueerWriter #WriterSky #mmromance
a short paragraph from a WIP queer romance novel by Sage L Mattison. Text reads: My favorite topic? Oak had to assume the man meant sex, right? That's what he said they would talk about during dinner. Did creatures in the demon realm practice BDSM? Oak assumed they did, given how naturally dominant Xaph had been with him so far but maybe he was wrong. Maybe demons just acted that way but didn't know or practice actual kink.

#WIPSnips #QueerWriter #WriterSky #mmromance
a short paragraph from a WIP queer romance novel by Sage L Mattison. Text reads: "Do Demons not play around with gender expression? Skirts don't belong to women or people with she, her pronouns. Besides, imagine how nice it feels to let your cock and balls free all day?" Oak chuckled at Xaph's scrunched face as he turned to shimmy his hips in the demon's face, demonstrating the freedom his genitals had in the outfit.

Picking a prompt from November. If your MC/character(s) wrote a cookbook, what would it be called?

Oak, from my WIP, would write a cookbook about the ideal daily meal plan for bottoms and/or sex workers 😂

I'm Sage! As a writer, I write queer romances that are spicy with some plot thrown in.

My WIP is an MM Romance with a gothic camboy who accidentally summons a demon. They end up on the run for their lives. There's forced proximity, kinks, sass, and an HEA.

Cover art for Convincing His Little Bee by Sage L Mattison Text from the first page of Convincing His Little Bee by Sage L Mattison. “Fuck a duck!” Cin yelled, stomping his foot. He tried again to loosen the rough metal chains around his wrists. He had been locked up for hours making no progress with the bindings. Sighing heavily, Cin flopped down onto the meager pile of straw in the corner of the small, dank cell. “Did you know that ducks have really weird penises?” A voice outside his cell spoke. It was too dark for Cin to see into the other cells. He hadn’t even realized any other spaces were occupied. “I don’t actually spend time thinking about animal dicks so…no I didn’t know that.” Cin tried scraping the manacles against the stone walls. The runes etched into the sides dampened his magic. If he could distort enough of them, the spell might become inert. Although, he couldn’t exactly control his size shifting so he’d still be in chains but it would be an improvement. Right?

I don't know how many it'll end up with but I'm so impressed with myself over that number.

As a PA, I have worked with authors who publish 4 books a year and others who publish 15+ a year.

These are people I've worked with for YEARS. Well before AI "writing" was a thing. Some people write fast, make fairly "clean" 1st drafts. When it's your JOB, it's easy to prioritize.

Authors, in the interest of helping readers spot gen ai 'authored' books, how many novels do you publish a year?

I publish one 80-100k+ word (epic fantasy) novel, and I can only do that because I drafted 8 novels before I started publishing any. 📚💙

Scrivener! I finally bought it this year after looking at it for a long time and it's honestly upped my writing game a lot!

If I think of something when I'm not at my computer to write, I'll send it to myself in an email and then copy+ paste it into scrivener later.

Stayter, today's question for you is:

Where do you write your stories? 🤓
In the notes app, Google docs, etc.? On your phone or strictly on a computer?

Let us know in the comments and quotes! 😊
