Also this would make am excellent TV series btw (the series is 5 books?) & I think it would do well

I have to keep picking up my phone to translate the random French dialogue or look up a classical reference but so far this is a good one - the line "Even Nero watched while the family was encaramelled" made me laugh

*sigh* got one

I have two new-ish wips that I'm prioritizing & a third I have decent notes for but haven't started so whyyy am I scrounging around old docs & p'nterest for something new??

every time a nice account i follow endorses or uses aรฏ, i go and block them like i'm taking someone out execution style at the back of an alley and i'm so tired of this trash, guys, stop promoting this garbage and eroding your brains ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

that being said, if you see me like, repost or (i hope not) use aรฏ, feel free to @ me and let me know so i can delete, unfollow etc and add yet another thing to the ever growing checklist of investigative journalism i have to do before sharing/liking anything online these days gdi ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

PUBLISHERS PLEASE STOP PUTTING STICKERS ON BOOKS I BEG YOU

When you have to dispose of all the balloons from your kids' parties but when you pop them you forget they are full of confetti so now you're spending half the day collecting little gold discs like you're Sonic the bloody Hedgehog

One thing they donโ€™t tell you about being an author is that sometimes you mention a book you hope to write and then people will ask you months later when itโ€™s going to come out but youโ€™ve moved on to 3 other projects but now you feel guilty and intrigued because why *did* you set that aside anyway?

I have been informed that not only was The West Passage the topic of a queer book club recently, but the host also made mellified man snacks to serve alongside it, which has VASTLY brightened my week

Hungerstone was gooood ๐ŸŽ‰

Bettina keeps her love. It would be so easy to give in to rage & bitterness after everything happens, & she does have to harden her heart some, but she never misdirects that pain onto her loved ones. Her love stays constant & pure no matter what.

A decision is slowly being made about descent wip that I think is going to piss my readers off a bit. The endings mayyy be narrowing down as I ruminate more on this book

Thank god for baklava, honestly

I know we're all just thinking aloud here, going through it, feeling our feelings, but every fourth or fifth post used amount to "leave [state] before you die" and now it's "flee the country before you die," and it's like People live here ๐Ÿ™‚ They can't leave ๐Ÿ™‚ They have no money ๐Ÿ™‚ Is that news?

I keep seeing "Why aren't the Americans striking" and "Because our healthcare is tied to our jobs" and it never gets less true or less depressing

Furious* over a cliffhanger in a 5โญ book I really enjoyed & looking up the sequel to see it isn't out until the END of JUNE ๐Ÿ˜ญ *I'm mad but also not mad because I have something to anticipate now โค๏ธ

getting questions about the worldbuilding in The West Passage is always like "I'm so glad you asked! the reason is it felt right"

Watching the person you love become a monster you can never save ahhh

Listen, Daard's whole arc just makes me sob

So much writing advice is just going "well yeah but it depends" over and over until we all expire

Re reading the tragic parts of my fave of my books just to feel something

New much anticipated book arrived just in time for me to finish what is looking like a 4.5 star book ๐Ÿฅฐ

everyone is horny in such a normal way in this book. absolutely nothing to worry about. like ever. if thou are not consumed by lust to the extent that demons crawl out of hell to get you, art thou even lusting?

men have had their turn, it's time for wlw to eat each other like ripe fruit. also something about sins of the father, sins of the daughter, something something mephistopheles.
