Update: "The Mummy or Ramses the Damned" is not as engaging as I remembered. It is okay but I am probably not going to finish. The past is seen through rose colored glasses, especially things you enjoyed in ninth grade.

It's sort of validating to find spelling or grammar mistakes in traditionally published books.

Please, I beg you, read the murderbot books, especially if you don't have apple tv, because they are really great and enjoyable.

I feel like second guessing your writing choices while editing your first draft is a quintessential author trait. #booksky

There's nothing like iced coffee on a warm spring day 🌞 #coffee

Shout-out to anyone not celebrating mother's day for whatever reason. This isn't a happy day for everyone, and you are valid and loved, just the way you are.

I have been working on an overall timeline so the Unbowed series doesn't end up contradicting itself.

Currently reading a classic Anne Rice novel I read in highschool. "The Mummy or Ramses the Damned" is just as good as when I blew through it as a kid. Who doesn't love 1914 London and an 3000 year old immortal pharaoh? #booksky

Editing your first draft is wild, especially if you take time between finishing the draft and sitting down to reading the thing. At one point yesterday I had the clear thought, "was I drunk when I wrote this?" And I don't even drink.

Pre-November 2024 Gun Rights nut jobs: We need our guns in case the government falls into fascist tyranny. U.S. government: Let's try fascism. Current Gun Rights nut jobs: *crickets*

U.S. Nazi: The federal government should stay out of state and local laws. Local government: We are a sanctuary city and we do not cooperate with ICE. U.S. Nazi: Not like that we will sue your ass and by 90 days we will "unleash" all local police officers and let's send in the army to help them.

Hope you are having a lovely day! If nobody told you lately, you are wonderful, valid, and loved.

Every chapter edited is a step closer to a final draft. The rainbow octopus is just because I think it's cool.

One of my author dreams is to collaborate with an artist and/or artists and write a graphic novel. #authorsky

Fluff is very supportive of my dreams and aspirations.

Everyone needs a break once in a while. I have been busy with life things and dealing with the constant flow of terrible chaos that comes with living in the U.S. now. Now that things are settling down I can get back to working on writing. What I need to do.

A reminder for this Transgender Day of Visibility: Trans people have always existed, and we always will.  No president, politician, or court can change that.

Stream-a-thon for trans health is on now! Go watch the stream helps and donate if you are able. Gender affirming care saves lives! #trans #transhealth www.youtube.com/live/NUF6Atv...

Trans people were here before you were born, and we will be here after you die. You will never erase us. 🏳️‍⚧️ #transrights

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

Just another beautiful day in the land of AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *head desk*

Pepper and Brucie to make your day a little cuter.

Pepper says it's time for a nap!

In response to the local efforts to ban "The Rainbow Parade" that made national news, I am going to put even more LGBTQ+ characters into my books just to spite the racist, transphobic bigots. #booksky 💙📚

Hey look I wrote a blog post www.aubelbooks.com/blog/speakin...!

Slightly unhinged things I have said so far this morning: "Gloves are just hand socks".

Hey look I made a word cloud image about "Escape". What do you think? #booksky 💙📚

I started "Dawn" by Octavia E. Butler recently. I have heard a lot about the Lilith's Brood series and so far I really like the book! #booksky 📚💙

ALL. EYES. ON. JENIN.

Guess who overdid things yesterday and now needs to rest and wear braces because everything hurts and my mood is terrible? One guess.

I have a front loaded week, so hopefully I can get some writing done without overdoing it and causing myself lots of pain later in the week. Maybe I will try speech to text again. That could help.

Hinata feels like he has to shoulder the burden alone. Is that true? "Cutoff" is available for FREE on Amazon, Kobo, and B&N. Links on my website www.aubelbooks.com #booksky 💙📚 #scifi #ebook #indieauthor
