Our situation with my husband's job is only getting worse, and I'm getting terrified. The timing couldn't be worse for more things in our lives to get more unstable 😔

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

And as a corollary, it would be really nice if reviewers didn’t keep calling adult books written by women YA. I lost count of the times NETTLE & BONE got described as YA. The heroine is THIRTY. I wrote it for adults! It is fine if teens want to read it, but it’s not YA and that is FINE.

Good morning, Bluesky! During the night, I reached the 280,000 follower mark. I could not be happier to be in the sky with such excellent people as you. Thank you! To celebrate, I've donated to Trans Lifeline, whose peer support for trans folk is needed now more than ever. Onward! translifeline.org

Dear romantasy authors: thank you for continuing to write more books. Reading makes me so incredibly happy. ❤️

Day 11: Writing podcast, blog, community you love? My little group of writer buddies, honestly. I do like Unresolved Textual Tension for book reviews; Brandon McNulty for clear, concise, practical advice; Ellen Brock for in-depth stuff; and Hannah Lee Kidder, all on YouTube. #askanauthor #booksky

Day 10: Comp titles 👍/👎, and what are yours? Ugh. Boo. I don't wanna. I sometimes try to market TWSV as "Last Kingdom meets Beauty and the Beast," but that's actually a terrible explanation and not recent enough. Not saying my book is unique, I'm just terrible at this stuff. #askanauthor #booksky

I started this month with an unreasonable goal: to get 1,000 people to invest in my publishing imprint for $5 or $12 a month. I know it’s crazy…but what if it happens? Crazier things have happened. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Help us fight for Black & brown stories. They’re worth it. Leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com

Day 9: How much of your story is drawn from reality? Uh.....I dunno. There's magic and some stuff I made up, but there's real stuff about smithing, cooking, life etc, and some Viking inspiration too. 80% real stuff? 90? I honestly don't know how to quantify it. 😅 #askanauthor #booksky

Day 8: What's a dish from your story that stands out? Hm, dunno... Maybe when Rhen wakes up in a cave after being attacked by the beast in the woods and the strange man who saved her shares his questionable (but delicious) stew. Those Who Seek Vengeance a.co/d/bgUVCGH #askanauthor #booksky

Day 7: A scene/side quest you love, even if it doesn't affect the main plot. My MCs discuss the joys of imported coffee as they walk through the snow. Their kingdom had previously been isolated for generations, and trade is being resestablished, slowly but surely. Delicious. #askanauthor #booksky

Day 6: Tell us about your story's setting. Why did you choose it? I wanted ice and snow and cold and loneliness. I wanted struggle and the harsh reality of a world that doesn't care if you live or die. I wanted dark skies spattered with stars and bright snow spattered with blood. #askanauthor

Day 5: If your life were a novel, what would the title be? If You Don't Want Your Pickle, Can I Have It? Haha, jk, I dunno. I'm pretty boring. My moods are tired, silly, and snacky, and I don't do anything interesting. 🤷‍♀️ #askanauthor

the five love languages are cats, cakes, a stately manor home in the English countryside, teaming up to catch the murderer and putting down my book so I can talk to you.

Day 4 of #askanauthor (I'm playing catch-up): Every great story starts with a spark—what was the inciting incident that set yours in motion? TWSV is told nonlinearly, but the first inciting incident time-wise is when a very impressionable and impulsive prince trusts the wrong sorceress.

Day 3: What's the first line of your book, and why did you choose it? The Frostwood wore silence like a cloak. Why: I wanted to immerse the reader in the scene right away and I thought it sounded cool. It's cold, it's quiet, the mc is alone looking for a dangerous creature. 🤷‍♀️ #askanauthor

I'm loving how my local community has been coming together to shout down the bigots whenever they rear their ugly heads. Someone tried to attack our library today for having kids LGBTQ+ books, and we are not having it. Libraries provide resources to the community, and we are keeping it that way.

Forever pissed that I have to be Aware and Informed instead of reading science fiction and fantasy and writing stories. I'm a children's literature critic, not an expert on government! (Not a fan of this timeline. At all.)

No writer is a failure until they are dead. Full stop. A career in writing is built over decades. It's built like a house, brick by brick, book by book. Not published yet? Emphasis on YET. Book not selling? It's not selling YET. You're only done when you quit. And I don't think you're ready to quit

I am bad at posting regularly, so maybe this will get me in the habit? Day 1: What's your origin story? I learned to read at three years old and just never looked back. 😅 I love stories and how they connect people across time and cultures, and can make you laugh or cry or rage. #askanauthor
