"I want to get started as an indie author. How do I build an audience?" 1. Accept that it'll be a slow process. There's no instant readership. 2. Be prepared to regularly post free chapters to sites like ScribbleHub and Royal Road. 3. Offer readers a Discord server to join. 4 Be active for readers

5 years ago I came out as nonbinary and have used she/they since. This weekend I shifted to they/them and updated my bio here. 😊

Indie trans lit is honestly kind of addicting because what if all the things you can’t get in traditional publishing were widely available for a fraction of the cost from an increasingly amazing variety of creators you get to directly support by reading? What then?

I want to live in a world where it is usual that unavoidable harsh things are mitigated by community and relationships that are full of love, softness, and pleasure. And these are joys are a natural, expected part of trans life. #LGBTQWriteAThon #QueerWriters #pride #writesky #writingcommunity

From 13-14, I read "The Last Days of Pompeii" and "Quo Vadis." I also spent a lot of time watching and reading sci-fi. So, I wrote a draft about the Great Fire of Rome but a group of Christians get abducted by a UFO during the fire and saved. 🛸

Cleo considered herself to not be trying at all this evening, sorta boymoding, but we were eating food outdoors (me vegan sushi, her pizza) and a little girl saw my wifey and yelled "she's eating pizza! I want some!" So, yeah that made Cleo's night. Adorable. 😊

"Being Not Afraid" by @beedokfern.bsky.social is such a cool story! I loved the banter between characters, the take on Celestines, and the ending! 🪽👁️ beedok.itch.io/being-not-af...

While some states are taking away the rights of our LGBTQ+ community, we're protecting them here in our state. Illinois will always be a beacon of equality and hope for all. There's still work to do, but we have your back.

Tbh the thing about there not being a way to "pass" as nonbinary has really freed me up to transition and present in whatever ways I like best. They're gonna misgender me no matter what, I might as well have the haircut I want

Really simple cat enrichment puzzle. Fill a shallow container with water. Float some bottle caps that each have a cat treat on top.
