A plant?
That would be some amazing commitment.
But it does seem very strange.
Who knows what's going on.

One of my goals in life is to be prominently displayed on a website called "Women write men".

But to answer the question. I think I did have someone standing in a door sexily. Let me look.
I found it:
“There you are!” Bu interrupted, striking a pose in the doorway. “Funny seeing you here, Prince.”

Like, I know that some of the ways I write men are cringe - but maybe cringe is okay.

That tackle though? Like?
The fuck.
Guess what was more likely to put someone in the hospital or cause significant disability or death?
The tackle or throwing a water bottle?
I'm just glad it looks like the guy who got tackled wasn't seriously injured.

Wow - I've seen bathrooms without accessibility in mind - and then there's this.
Holy shit.

6-11 Gif/Audio What age they came out.
Mandi is probably the only one who had a *coming out* moment when she was quite young. Nik was *outed* by circumstances, so was Jaimes.
Jaimes coming out story:

6-11 Rep you would like to see more of.
Queer MF, or couples perceived as MF, of various kinds.

Also confused how-in-world othering and even shaming trans people who don't seek medical intervention and/or do not have clinically significant gender dysphoria would decrease the possibility of detransition due to regret?!?

I'm just wondering - and I'm asking this to the doctor, I guess - what type of gatekeeping Hendrix thinks would have convinced her not to transition...
That wouldn't impede access to care for those who need it?

6-10 Why is rep important?
I have a bisexual male MC and many other queer characters - but there are a LOT of BL stories out there.
The type of mental illness rep within my story, however, is something I don't see as often.

6-8 Line share.

6-7 Check in.
I am currently through the first book of the 2nd vol of my series - doing minor line edits and fixing any formatting issues.
I have four more books left - but it's pretty fast going. I can do about 1 book in 1 or 2 days.

6-6 Character inspiration/mood board
Okay - I have to admit - for whatever weird reason, when I write Caleb (one of the secondary characters) I think of Moses Kim (lyricaleggroll) who's an adult content creator and musician.
They are very different - but the vibes are similar.

6-4 Comps.
I seriously don't know.
Maybe Jack and Joker? It's a drama, but like, there's a similar vibe of dealing with extremely serious topics with intense emotion - and still being fucking ridiculous at times - with capers!

6-3 Inspiration.
Thai BL - definitely.
But also, when I was a kid TV was very episodic. Everything was "back to normal" constantly regardless of what extreme things happened.
I wanted to make a story where the effects carried on.

6-2 Goals
I just published the 3rd Ed of Bad Memory (the 1st vol). Depending on how quickly my proofreader is able to turn around Best Forgotten (the 2nd vol) - hoping to get the ARCs out by the end of the month.

6-10 Do the characters have to explain their queerness?
One of them, yes. But that explanation is done "off screen" toward a friend who is having a hard time accepting it.

Okay - funny story - the first novel I ever wrote was 260,000 words and I was planning on writing a short story.
Fucker is going to be my Opus.
But, working on my current WIP first.
I put the 260,000 word epic on the back burner - I'll get back to it at some point.

6-9 When did MCs realize?
I haven't explored their "origin stories" that much.
But I imagine Jaimes was in denial for a while, he was deeply in the closet.
I can see Mandi realizing it when she was a kid.
Nik has attachment issues and likely had a difficult time sorting it out.

Though I do think it's sort of interesting that he says it in the same way that some of my coworkers say it when they are talking about nonverbal students.
As in - they really wish they understood more.

I considered that - but this is my writing instructor - he says it all the time, in a somewhat exasperated tone.
Like, am I really that strange? And I guess I am.
Whenever he says it, I just reply, "No, you don't."

If you would like an ARC of Best Forgotten, please DM me. I will also provide a complimentary copy of Bad Memory.

Best Forgotten is the second volume of the series and is currently in the revision and editing stage.
It's slated to come out early this summer.
Psst: There's a wedding. 💍
And murder - but also a wedding.
