#ComJunity It’s tempting to say Minot since she’s the MC, but whereas Minot brings all the various players together, it’s Ramona who KEEPS them together. She’s the maternal figure Minot needs, she balances out Auguste & Benoit’s friendship, & defends Vic against outside scrutiny w/out question.

#ComJunity Share authors’ posts! Read their books, short stories, poems, blogs! And if I like something, I leave a review or a comment telling them so!

#BluePit is back for the summer! Creators in the #WritingCommunity, #GameDev & #IndieDev, #TTRPG, and #Comic communities get ready to pitch or promote your projects! #BluePit will be taking place again on July 13th, 2025! And #BluePitHype starts July 8th! #WriteSky #Writers #AmAgenting #LitAgents

My novel is definitely not a good fit for this event BUT I figured I'd share for others who want to participate!!

Alright. Yesterday I got the best award ever for my sales streak. I've been told there are more awards for more milestones.Anyone want to help me get there so I can see what else @poulsens.bsky.social has in store? Get pins, bookmarks, stickers, or books from me directly ko-fi.com/anotherindie...

#ComJunity Cliché aside, it really is love. All different kinds. Minot loves her dad, Ramona & Benoit are devoted friends, Benoit sees Minot & her dad as family, Minot & Vic are soulmates, Vic loves his siblings, etc, etc... Even the antagonist acts out of love, when you boil it down.

#ComJunity Prejudice. Once Vic's big secret comes out, Minot becomes even more protective of him, and if anyone were to suddenly decide to be a bigot about it, she might literally bite their head off.

#hotwetqueersummer #hotwetpitch #r #h #wip THE HEART YET BLEEDS A summer storm forces Anne inside the lovely Bellflower House, a country estate owned by the hauntingly beautiful Sabine. But as days pass, dark events unfold, & the rain keeps falling, Anne begins to wonder if she'll ever leave...

#ComJunity My very dear friend Valentine is my number one writing pal. I read her stuff, she reads mine! And of course all of you lovely people are counted in the group, too.

“I asked ChatGPT” well I asked the three Fates and the one with the scissors got very agitated when I told her you were using your one precious life thread talking to that cursed thing

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

1. Missoula, Montana has cleverly voted to defy the Pride flag ban by making the it "an official city flag." This comes after a law banned the flying of the flag but made an exception for "official flags." Now, the Pride flag will fly defiantly in the state. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Last night, I mentioned that I'd hit 11 straight days with a sale on my Ko-Fi. I was reminded that this is Pride Month. So. Anyone want to buy some stickers for 25% off so I can hit 12 queer days in a row with a sale? ko-fi.com/anotherindie...

#WIPSnips The end of Chapter Three from my novel, BETWEEN VIRIDIAN TREES 💙📚🌶️

#ComJunity This doesn't often happen to me, because I tend to define my characters' roles pretty clearly in my head before I write them. I'm also the kind of person who makes demands OF my characters, rather than fielding THEIR demands, lol

#WIPSnips A cliffhanger snippet for you all today, from Chapter Eleven of BETWEEN VIRIDIAN TREES 💙📚🌶️

#ComJunity Answering for my novel! The short answer (and the LI’s favorite one) is fate. Right place, right time. But what kept them together was their chemistry, physical & mental. My FMC and LI consider themselves true kindred spirits.

#ChaosChat Observe this silly little picrew I made of Minot and Vic and then never posted because I let the mean voices tell me no one would care!!!

#ChaosChat I love a found family moment personally. Minot's actual family consists of only her father, but over the novel's course it expands to include the aforementioned nurse Ramona, the doctor Benoit (a friend of her father's), her LI Vic, and Vic's sister Mervis.

#ChaosChat My FMC Minot would absolutely bribe Ramona, a music-loving nurse of middle age, commonly referred to as a hurricane of a woman, into performing. And of course, Ramona would choose "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls ☔

#ChaosChat I happen to be feeling chaotic so here I am. Something like 98% of my work is set in queer-normative worlds, and I think it's because I find that joy is most abundant when it's rooted in safety and comfort. My queer characters love & are loved freely, loudly, proudly, thoroughly.

hi yes, it's me 🙋 i'm the queer woman in a very-queer relationship with a queer man! if you, as a fellow member of this community, see us at a pride event & assume the intricacies of our identities based on nothing but our gender presentations, you're not as "accepting" as you think you are.

Happy Pride everyone! I love us! Also, it just so happens to be the two year anniversary of my partner and I getting engaged. A coincidence, but a fun and novel one. Yay queer love!

Pride month means lots of bundles ^^ Support queer creators this Pride Month with the Swords & Sapphics bundle! 🏳️‍🌈 $17 for 14 books & games 🏳️‍🌈 worth $53 🏳️‍🌈 SFF & romance 🏳️‍🌈representation includes sapphic, achillean, trans, aroace, & more! itch.io/b/3055/sword...

#FantasyIndiesMaytober What a month! It was fun to talk about my antagonist so much, since I usually avoid doing so for spoiler reasons. Maybe I’ll post more about her someday ❤️
