Being transgender in the 90s was weird. I knew I wanted to be a boy long before I knew being transgender was even possible. I genuinely thought everyone felt that way sometimes. #trans #90s #lgbtq

Unpopular opinion: A book doesn't need a shocking twist to be unforgettable. Sometimes one really well written character is enough. #books #amreading #booksky

Writing a book is basically making up imaginary people and then spending months worrying about their emotional wellbeing. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerslift

One of the strangest parts of being trans is realizing that something you thought everyone experienced was actually gender dysphoria. #trans #transgender #lgbtq

“For a few minutes, no one called me anything. No one asked who I was, what I wanted to be, how I was supposed to look. No one asked for my gender or told me what kind of clothes I should wear or how to sit or smile or speak. I just was.” Hi, My Name Is Alex #books #amwriting #booksky

I wonder how many LGBTQ+ adults look back at their childhood and realize the signs were always there. We just didn't have the language to understand them. #lgbtq #trans #queer

What's a book you wish you could read again for the first time? #amreading #books #booksky

me: i'll just fix this one sentence also me: rewrites the entire chapter and somehow creates three new plot holes #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerslift

Growing up in the 90s meant having feelings you didn't have words for yet. Sometimes I wonder how different my teenage years would have been if I'd known what transgender meant. #trans #90s #lgbtq

I think readers can feel when an author genuinely loved writing a story. #books #amreading #booksky

Some identities arrive like lightning. Some arrive slowly, over years. #trans #lgbtq #queer

...the jealousy twisting in my stomach wasn’t about Nathan being with Whitney. It was about Whitney being with Nathan. I wanted to be him... -Hi, My Name Is Alex #books #amwriting #booksky

Only 25% in, but I’m loving this one so far. Have you read it? #bookrecommendation #books #booksky

me pretending i'm going to bed early while opening a new book #amreading #booksky #readerscommunity

I love writing characters who slowly realize they deserve to exist honestly. #amwriting #lgbtqbooks #queer

“I don’t know who I am.” It was the truest thing I’d ever said. And the second I said it, something inside me softened. Like breathing after holding it for too long. -Hi, My Name Is Alex #books #amwriting #booksky

Being queer in the 90s often meant becoming observant before becoming understood. #queer #lgbtq #90s

Sometimes I read a sentence so good I need to stare at a wall for a minute. #amreading #booksky #readerscommunity

I didn’t say anything, but the word girls stung more than usual. Like it was meant for Kelly, and I’d accidentally caught it on the ricochet. -Hi, My Name Is Alex #books #amwriting #booksky

I think stories save people more often than we admit. #books #amreading #booksky

No one asked who I was, what I wanted to be, how I was supposed to look. No one asked for my gender or told me what kind of clothes I should wear or how to sit or smile or speak. I just was. -Hi, My Name Is Alex #books #amwriting #booksky

Writing romance is just professionally managing tension for 300 pages. #romance #amwriting #writingcommunity

Checking in #bluesky friends. What book should I add to my #tbr ? Just finished Yesteryear #booksky #readers #books #fiction

If you like domestic thrillers, check out the latest by Chandler Kass. It’s fast paced, twisty, and I couldn’t put it down once I started. echopressbooks.com/arizona-wives

Every trans person I know has at least one memory that makes sense now in hindsight. #trans #transgender #lgbtq

I support reading past your bedtime. #amreading #booksky #readerscommunity

A lot of my books are really about trying to become visible to yourself. #lgbtqbooks #trans #queer

Sometimes writing feels less like creating and more like uncovering. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerslift

I love books that feel honest even when they hurt. #books #amreading #booksky

There's no better feeling than writing a line that suddenly clicks. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerslift

Reading feels like borrowing someone else's brain for a little while. #books #amreading #booksky

I spent years trying to become someone easier for other people to understand. #trans #lgbtq #queer

Some chapters write themselves. Some chapters fight you like a raccoon in a trash can. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerslift

I think queer readers are experts at subtext because we had to be. #queer #lgbtqbooks #amreading

me: this book will be chill the book: identity crisis time #amreading #booksky #readerscommunity

Books gave me language for emotions I didn't know how to explain yet. #books #amreading #readerscommunity

The weird thing about self-discovery is sometimes it happens in hindsight. #trans #lgbtq #queer

Every writer has at least one scene that exists purely because they thought it would emotionally destroy readers. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerslift

Writing trans characters with joy matters too. #trans #lgbtqbooks #queer

Some stories whisper instead of shout. Those are usually my favorites. #books #amreading #booksky

I think yearning should qualify as cardio. #romance #books #booksky

Reading is one of the few hobbies where disappearing for hours is encouraged. #books #amreading #readerscommunity

I wish queer kids didn't have to work so hard just to understand themselves. #queer #lgbtq #lgbtqbooks

I spent years hiding these pieces away, so seeing it on the page, for others to experience, has been equally vulnerable and freeing. Check out my book here: www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3Q9C3KH/ #book #bookrelease #newbook #pridemonth #queerauthor #booksky #booktok #writingcommunity #readersky #readers

The best books leave fingerprints on you. #books #amreading #booksky

Writing a novel is mostly just arguing with yourself creatively. #amwriting #writingcommunity #writerslift

Some people discover themselves slowly. That still counts. #trans #lgbtq #queer

I love characters who are disasters but trying their best. #books #amreading #booksky

My toxic trait is thinking one more chapter won't ruin my sleep schedule. #amreading #booksky #readerscommunity
