Happy International Women’s Day! Trans Women, Enby, BIPOC, especially! You have worked so damn hard to be here and we thank you!

Well so much for feeling less depressed and more motivated. ☹️ Instead my ADHD/Bipolar disorder decided my new job was to make a zine for my neighborhood about how to survive this shitstorm of a US government. 👍🥹👍

Finally coming to the realization that I’m pretty much writing a romantsy with barely more plot than romance and people will be angry no matter how it turns out because of that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And who they didn't like

I think I might finally be coming out of my awful year long depression, let’s get back to writing! I wrote 200 hundred words yesterday. #writersky #booksky

Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding.

I have been taking naps in the middle of the day and I highly recommend it.

Look at me writing! Yay!

No matter what, keep writing. Never forget and don’t let them erase history. #writingsky

I’ve been in a reading slump. A horror novella about trans revenge seems like the perfect pick me up. The Woods All Black by Lee Mandelo #booksky

Infinity Nikki was kind of a bust, the servers aren’t handling the update and new content well :/

I’m trying really hard to get myself to read something but I just can’t. I think I will go play Infinity Nikki instead.

Because I am not on any meta social networks I am being excluded from several writing group chats with people I know. Visual representation of how that makes me feel.

Feeling like a child left in the backseat of a car in the middle of summer. How are you doing today?

The entire world knew and did nothing until it affected their pocketbook.

Spite's a great motivator. I wrote twelve books that way. If you're feeling pissed off at the fuckery afoot? Spite, yo. It'll get you far.

Post something related to your last publication or WIP, without context.

I cannot recommend this book enough, NEVER WHISTLE AT NIGHT ed by @shanehawk.com is my all time favorite anthology. A little bit of everything-ghosts, folklore, creatures…and the best part, I found a lot of new authors to read! You need this #booksky 📚

Today is the cover reveal for Cry, Voidbringer by Elaine Ho! There are also amazing pre-order incentives which can be found on my 🔗🌲 If you want to get peeks into the publishing process join @michaellaborn.bsky.social Bindery: leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com #diversebooksky #indiebooks 📚💙📚🪐📚

This is eventually going to be a published author account but until then, flood me with your book recommendations. I want all of your marginalized authors and books. #booksky

PSA ‼️ A black author writing a contemporary romance with black characters does not make it urban fiction novel. Black Romance is not synonymous with Urban✌🏾 #booktok #blackbooksky #booksky

Some light reading….for research purposes. Despite the fact I have a history degree, I’ve largely avoided learning US History beyond what was required. The k-12 textbooks lied to me and when I corrected the lies my teachers ignored me so I started to hate it. I won’t remain ignorant any longer.

There’s a caveat to this. Indie authors HEAVILY rely on KU and Amazon to make their books accessible. Some people can’t sell directly and keep stock. Bookstores don’t really or at all have indie books and ESPECIALLY by marginalised people. I wish we would think about this #booksky #blackbooksky

Here are some Black horror books to add to your TBR. Which ones have you read already and which are you adding? Let me know and then click on #blackbooksky and follow some Black book content creators. #booksky

I dedicated years of my life to reporting on January 6 and exposing what happened. I was there that day, co-wrote a book, and published a series of major stories on my own, for Rolling Stone, and for TPM. I hope it mattered. I hope history will remember and understand what happened.

I am writing an epic fantasy about being neurodivergent in a chaotic political climate. I will not stay silent. As a history degree holder, I will not stay silent. This is how WW3 starts. Do not be complacent. Get involved in your local government now.

If you have a cool idea you’re working on, today’s the day to get productive. There will be time to get mad later.

Spot the difference as I explain my epic fantasy story to authors in different genres at this writing retreat 😭 #booksky

Heading home. Everyone who attended this writing retreat I can’t wait to read all the amazing stories we broke together! 💕 #authors

I could write a 100 post long thread about everything I gained from TT. The ADHD community helping me figure out life, the journalists on the ground reporting on events in far away countries, the passionate creators encouraging me to learn new subjects that I never though I'd find interest in 1/2

If you're wondering I'm at the I KNOW HOW IT ENDS HOW THE FUCK AM I NOT DONE part of novel writing

Coming to the realization that if I want my series published I’m going to have to self pub. I have zero social media presence and zero ability to properly interact with people. The ‘tism be hittin

Flying to my first writing retreat…I am nervous.

The best way to know if an author or artist you love is secretly a terrible person is... you can't. There are no magic tricks here. Awful people who successfully manage to be awful for years are good at hiding the fact they are awful. All the average person can do is deal on a case by case basis

Plus side of being an unknown writer I can drop sns no problem because no one knows I exist anyway 🙃

Put new bookshelves into our spare room and it made a world of difference. This is all of our graphic novels, zines, fiction and nonfiction. My home office also has multiple bookcases of film books.

Reminder that my second middle grade horror chapter-book SCAREWAVES: BEYOND THE GRAVE comes out this August, and i think it's pretty cool. Keep an eye out for it if you're into monsters, slime, things of that sort.

I don’t know how to hold conversations but I do know how to trauma dump. That’s my special interest, my mental health.

Much like having to setup new student loan accounts every few years, I am getting tired of having to create new social media accounts.
