I just finished reading my ARC of this fantasy polyamorous romance. I love a sequel that shakes up the status quo like that! Hard to put down. I teared up at one point, which is rare for me as a reader. And wow, that ending! (Start with book 1 though!) 🪐📚 💙 app.thestorygraph.com/books/0bc3db...

@garycb.bsky.social Wanted to make sure you saw this important video. youtu.be/HasaQvHCv4w?...

I just finished Doomsday Book by Connie Willis, an amazing dual timeline blend of science fiction and historical fiction. Also, the least cozy thing I have read in a long time. Willis pulls no punches about the worst aspects of life in the 14th century. 💙📚🪐 app.thestorygraph.com/books/3344f5...

@garycb.bsky.social I stole this from @stevenppeterson.bsky.social thehardtimes.net/culture/guy-...

Our three-legged "foster" cat Murphy is making himself at home. At least when he's sleeping, he's not climbing shelves/eating plants/attempting to explore inside the refrigerator.

ART said, I want an apology. I made an obscene gesture at the ceiling with both hands. (I know ART isn’t the ceiling but the humans kept looking up there like it was.) ART said, That was unnecessary.

My partner texted me today that he chaired a session at his academic conference and went out to lunch with some other philosophers. I texted back that today I cleaned up puppy pee. #writingcommunity ♥️ 🧙⚔️

We had a couple of nice sunny days and everyone was like "ARE YOU GETTING OUT AND ENJOYING THE SUN" like it was a command, and I was like "NO LOL" do they not know I #amwriting

This great fantasy romance is now up for preorder. Ideal if you're ready to get away from the same old romantasy plot: this one has a polyamorous romance (which I got SO invested in) and a mysterious fantasy plot... Here's my full review: app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/c6c4... 💙📚🪐

@garycb.bsky.social That is a pretty grim profile picture 😆

Hey if y'all are looking for a great way to avoid writing, I can recommend getting a foster puppy with separation anxiety. I haven't got a thing done in days. Cute though... #amwriting #notreally 🩷🧙‍♂️⚔️

"Three Kobolds in a Trenchcoat" is the filk song/cartoon I didn't know I was looking for youtu.be/QsLN542nvGg?...

I always forget my tea and let it get cold. Today I outsmarted myself and put it in an insulated travel mug. Just burned my tongue on it (assuming it would be cold by now). 🤦‍♀️ #writingcommunity #writerslife #amwritingfantasy

Hey fantasy & historical fiction writers, do you capitalize "his/her/your majesty" and "your lordship/ladyship"? Discussing with my line editor. Chicago style says capitalize Your Majesty, so she says be consistent and also say Your Ladyship. Seems like other books don't do this? #WritingCommunity

It's a coin toss whether any particular software will accept the apostrophe in my name or substitute a string of random characters. It's fine on Kobo/Amazon/etc. but when I share a link? Eh. Yours truly, J'aime p.s. "The Human" is still free on Kobo until tomorrow. www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

Any Kobo readers out there? 🪐📚 My cozy science fiction short "The Human"is a featured free book on Kobo this week, through February 3. Grab a copy! He’s never met a human before. Now one’s booking a ride on his ship. Are humans supposed to be this small? www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/... #booksky

Rewriting my book description today. It's different. Is it better? 🤔 I'll look at it tomorrow and decide. #writingcommunity

I tried ProWritingAid for the first time. Wow, I am not good at commas. #writingcommunity

Today I am making myself a new Bluesky rule: immediately block any account that posts a cute animal photo with the message, "Please don't move around" before I comment (to say something nice about the animal). I'm guessing it's a foreign bot's translation of "Don't scroll past this?" 😂
