I'm writing a scene were my characters are kissing and just described one of them as having "ran a tongue" over his lover's lip and like.. Rita. Shizu. Ma'am. *A* tongue? How many tongues do you think this (very human) man has?

Man, I'm pretty sure at least 99% of the writers I know are in this comic.

Me before I started writing this book: "There should be a super emotional and tragic flashback to 500 years ago. That sounds like a great idea!" Me now: Does this phrase sound too modern? How homophobic/ heteronormative were people back then? Also why am I so exhausted? #writing #indieauthor

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?" Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.

I'm officially at the part of my book that I had previously declared "future me's problem." I'm seriously considering writing the rest of the book basically backwards so that this part of the book can continue to be "future me's problem." #writing #indieauthor

Fun fact that is 100% factual and not at all a number I randomly pulled out of my ass: like 20% of writing is just googling words to make sure you remembered the definition right and are using it correctly. #writing #indiauthor

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

Am I horrifically behind my self imposed schedule for writing my book? Yes. Have I gotten further into writing this thing than I've ever gotten with anything I've written that wasn't a short story in my entire life? Also yes. #writing #indiauthor #firstdraft

So I'm trying to decide on a proper title for my book so I can stop calling it "my queer/ gay Sleeping Beauty story" every time I talk about it and at some point my list of title ideas devolved into just me listing words that fit the vibe I'm going for and oh god I'm making a mood board with words
