A coworker offered to go buy me a taco and dear Lord, I could not summon the willpower to say "no thanks" to an offer of a free taco.
So now I have to wait until he gets back before I can go to lunch, but I dont know how long he'll be and I was planning to go right when he asked.

CD Baby won’t fix the fact that my record Mischief isn’t on Tidal despite their own records that it’s been there since 2014, unless I pay more $ for the privilege, so yall feel free to get that download/CD from me on Bandcamp instead, ok? Ok.

I'm multigenre, so Im all over the shop 😅
One Mystery
One YA Fantasy
One cross-genre that I'd probably just shelve in Romance.
And my short stories?
Look... it's probably best just to shelve them under "M" for Mitchell.🤷♀️
(Unless they are in a genre-specific collection of some kind.)

Hey folks. Since I'm up...
Where would you place you work in a bookstore? What section?
I think all my stuff would end up in Fantasy.

While it is still sad to me that, through a series of deaths in the family and drifting apart of cousins, Thanksgiving will just be me and my mom (who has never had an appetite in her life), the silver lining is that I will get soooo many leftovers from tomorrow's feast.

When you choose indie sapphic romance over trad published romance, you get an actual gay female protagonist who doesn't just kiss one girl then choose the boy. You get a wildly imaginative story that would never pass through a traditional publishing house.

Pecan pie would be missed if it wasnt there, but it has to be the right kind... pecan-centric instead of caramel-centric.

It is well past the time I ask for help deciphering my ignorance.
A phrase I see semi-frequently in writing of all kinds (often quite good writing) is:
"They inclined their head"
And... I just... have never been able to figure out what that looks like. What expression is that?
😅
I feel so dumb!

Still mad I didn't DNF this one.

I get cultural differences between me and the (male) Japanese (hack) writer, but the misogyny slowly built and built till it was wafting off of it like a stink you couldn't find the source of (while pretending to be feminist.)

Ugh! 😓
I might make a big list of important themes, key story elements, mcguffins, locations, etc.
Then I'll play a loose word-scramble with them until I find something that sounds like a title in my genre.
Unless I had a spark of inspiration before I started.

I think people expect Helena to be grim goth-girl all the time, but she wasn't always that way. There's a couple scenes from her past in a bright swimsuit, and another where she's pulling a silly, giggly prank.

Do they like the outdoors? Have good survival skills?
Or do they prefer the comforts and amenities of a city?
