🧵Thoughts on self-publishing as someone with ADHD Part 2: Coping with rejection sensitivity dysphoria. To be a writer, you have to have a thick skin. Meh. It’s not that easy for those of us whose neurodivergence includes rejection sensitivity.

Self-publishing w/ADHD, Pt 1 Self-publishing a novel requires the author to be more than an artist; it requires project management. Before undertaking any project, it's helpful to reflect on patterns of behavior and determine systems to work WITH these habits instead of against them.

I am going to launch my Self-Publishing w/ADHD series here on Bluesky. I am still in the process of learning, but perhaps some of what worked for me will work for you, too!

Circling back into the depression stage of grief today. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Night night.

My thoughts on Trans Day of Remembrance this year and moving forward. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYYHxthW/

Officially 36 lives were lost to anti-trans violence in the last year. Unofficially the numbers are much higher. Honor those who came before, mourn those lost then figure out how you can do better for the living amid the horrors to come. . . . #trans #tdor #transgender #lgbtq #nonbinary #genderqueer

So anyway, @angryblacklady.bsky.social and I are going to have a TikTok live where she shares her knowledge about media literacy. Stay tuned for the date. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYFfXPph/

I started making stickers for bookish Black girls because I was tired of not seeing us properly represented in bookish spaces. Bold, colorful, and unapologetically bookish 🩷 #BlackBookSky #BookSky See more of my bookish stickers in my Etsy shop ⬇️ wittywisedesigns.etsy.com/listing/1697...

I’ve been posting a series titled Self-Publishing with ADHD on other platforms. Any interest here on Bluesky?

Whatcha reading? I have too many books going right now, but I’m enjoying them all. My Grandmother’s Hands, by Resmaa Menakem Atomic Habits, by James Clear Gideon the Ninth, by Tamsyn Muir The Gay Revolution, by Lillian Faderman

Well, hello there, Bluesky. I left the bad place like so many others. I'm interested in connecting with queer and BIPOC authors, readers, gardeners and teachers.
