You are not bold and interesting for thinking not all genre romance books should have a happy ending. You are a person with an (extremely trite, at this point) opinion who should read genres of books that are not romance.

A rogue bot struggling with its newfound sentience must decide between the safety of hiding or the meaningful danger of helping the activist group that hacked it. MONK & ROBOT x MURDERBOT #SEAsianPit #W #A #SF

I maintain that the episodic release model is what is turning Murderbot into a hit. If it had dropped all at once, none of us would still be talking about it. It would've been a flash in the pan in nerd and book worlds, a 1 season wonder.

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!

Just need to write the rescue and aftermath, and the big stuff is done. Almost there. #writers

I don’t remember ever not being able to read. Books have always been part of my identity. And somehow, that moment when I find a book that I know is just meant for me, continues to be astonishing every damn time.

I started reading this dystopian romance novel and it’s so horny. Right off the bat. Horny. I’m all for it, tbh 😆

Funny how my martial arts school couldn’t teach me to do a proper push up for almost a decade, but after a couple months of personal training, I easily did my first one.

Yes, of course my robots are comparing the sizes of their integrated guns. #writers

When you realize a list of things to fix in your next revision but you’re already waiting on 5 beta readers to give feedback 🥲 #writers

My book isn’t ready to pitch, but after this final round of revision, I’ll scream about it. It’s a blend of MURDERBOT x WAYFARERS x MONK AND ROBOT Rogue robots explore sentience, culture, and what it means to have a purpose. There’s also a slowburn bot/bot romance. #writers

I have four beta readers so far! I’m waiting on at least one more to confirm. I’ll do a final round of revision after this, then prepare a submission package! #writers

Idk if I’m ready to start prepping for the query trenches after getting dropped by an agent 😮‍💨 I’ll do it, of course, but it feels…strange #writers

65 hardcopy pages left to edit, then I can transfer them to my cloud copy and send the book out for final reads! #writers

Oh my gosh. This manuscript really feels like THE ONE. I love it. #writers

Are there active Discords for writers? (Doesn’t have to be genre-specific, but I write queer SFF) 🌈🚀💫 I used to be part of a Slack where we would trade manuscripts, share resources, and build a #writingcommunity. I’m looking for something similar.

I miss the days of multiple author mentorship contests. I also miss the Twitter pitch contests. I’d love to try my hand at another mentorship now that I’ve finished my first SFF book, but it looks like I missed the deadline for RevPit this year. I feel stranded.

I clung to “The Murderbot Diaries” during one of my worst depressive episodes. They lit a fire in me, and I began writing my first book since my agent dropped me. I’m so excited to see how this adaptation goes! I get to see my #1 comfort character in action!

Here’s an analysis I got from Andrea Pflaumer, who was mentored by John Kitchener (who created the seven-essence styling system). I included some pins of how I translate the blend! I was shocked to have Angelic as a top essence, as it’s the rarest.

I’m going to start logging my fashion explorations here! First, here’s my favorite essence styling, by Truth is Beauty. It’s relatively easy to put together compared to other essence blends. 40% Ingenue, 35% Classic, and 25% Natural
