This one promises to be a good, spicy time!

Cancelled HBO and got this instead…

Every year I rediscover corn chowder and it is delicious!!

Did you know that, if you have a butt-shaped fruit, you are required to post a picture? It’s a law, actually.

I. Am. So. Excited. My story in this anthology is a cozy sci fi heat fic, featuring a snail-like scientist and their friend, a Terran gardener.

Unfriendly reminder that this douche bag is why I stopped using Stickermule, years ago, and you should too. This district is right next to mine. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It was, it truly was.

I am cold. Please come out and say hi at the MADE on Jay market in downtown Schenectady so I at least feel like I'm freezing my butt off for a reason. That's it thats the best sales pitch I've got left in me today. 🤣

Upcoming author event! Come join me and other local authors next month at the South Fayette library 📚

This dude rocks and this thing is awesome if you've got fucked up hands like me, or even if you just like weird alternative keyboards. Would love to see him succeed (Not sponsored, this thing just really helps me type on bad days) www.kickstarter.com/projects/in1...

I watched Mother Mary last night and I can’t tell if I’m an idiot or there really were just That Many metaphors running rampant.

Junk mail is the invasive species of the mailbox.

Oooh. What is their motivation (history, circumstances, assumptions)? What is their character arc? What is the best Situation(s) to get them through the arc, such that the right levers of growth will be pulled? Et voila, story.

Absolutely LOVED All of Us, Murderers! I would recommend Dead Girls Walking by Sami Ellis. It’s queer, it’s spooky, it’s complex and layered while also being good, scary fun that’ll send shivers up your spine!

Oh! In other spooky season news, may I highly suggest you read the fun, queer, ghost web comic, Into the Smoke!? I gsve been loving it for a while now. intothesmokecomic.com

Oh, hey, for Spooky Season, can I suggest my queer vampire Pride and Prejudice inspired short story, “A Constant, Fearful Longing,” as found in the @duckprintspress.com anthology, A Truth Universally Acknowledged?

Welp. World’s Greatest made me cry so, that’s an endorsement. ❤️❤️❤️

Burning my favorite candle in honor of fall. Thank goodness for fall. Now I just need a vacation.

Release day 🎉🎉🎉

Did you think Pride was over because June has past? Saturday, October 10th is Collar City Pride at Riverfront Park in Troy, New York! See a drag show and local performers hosted by Stella Progress and Lady Seanzia and check out our vendor market from 2 to 6. More info: www.collarcitypride.org/pride

I want sex that moves the plot and provides insight into character. Most erotica i read does that. But Docile by K.M. Sparza uses sex in such an incredible way - it is both intensely erotic and incredibly disturbing. It demands a lot of a reader, and I love that.

I’m still contemplating my answer, but my DPP folks will be all over this! :)

Just tried to zoom in by turning up the volume on my phone. So, that’s how my day is going. How ‘bout you?

Wait until they get to the pretentious copy edited draft.

I just read a fic that made me reassess my dog’s mystifying behavior (he’s terrified of everything, including long grass, anything that moves, and many noises I can’t hear.)

I used my weed whacker for the first time and that thing is a DREAM. This is how I imagine it is, to use a perfectly balanced blade.

You quite simply must experience these for yourself. I'm biting at the release date bars.

Most of what I read is new. I’m trying to mix it up a little. So, I started reading Narcissus and Goldmund by Hermann Hesse, Crush by Richard Siken, and I have a new translation of Gilgamesh waiting for me to get freed up.

Day 1 prompts for them that have time! It’s not me, unfortunately, but I’ll be cheering from the sidelines! Kink. Your. TOBER!

I’m taking a fiction class right now 3 hrs a week, plus reviews and assignments. It’s too much and it’s wearing my down, even though I like it (MS, you bitch). BUT I did just see that a person I really like in the teaching space is offering a more intensive class in January and…

My sweet shifter boys, Clovis and Kyle, meet at a coffee shop in my story from Add Magic to Taste.

Note to future me:

I’ve missed a few weeks, but got back to roller skating tonight and… I almost didn’t go because I was exhausted and depressed but it was absolutely the right thing to do. Skating is always the right thing to do.

Sometimes I listen to financial podcasts while I work. I know, I know. But the quickest way to lose me is to mention that “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” was an inspiration. Right, just take advantage of people and pretend they’ve asked for it. 🤬 This mentality is the definition of what is wrong with the US.

It’s been a busy and taxing series of weeks. BUT, I’ve got three stories I’m really pleased with, one of which already has a home with @duckprintspress.com. Taking this writing class is, frankly, too much. But I can’t be sorry, even as my body makes me pay.

I just finished reading The Mystery of the Bitten Peach by Cecilia Tan, and what a fun, thought provoking romp through time and relationship and identity. I still can’t believe how much was packed into 131 pages.

And then he said genre writing is predictable, basically, and not lesser (but kinda lesser) than literary work. *sigh* I mean, to each their own, man, but you clearly aren’t reading the speculative stuff I’m reading.

Just heard Yann Martel describe using AI to write as being like hiring someone to have sex for you. Amen. Pry my pen from my cold, dead hands.

Happy Saturday! I'm at Stockade Streetfest in Schenectady! It's a little rainy but not too bad, the temperature is perfect, the vendors are great, and the Stockade is always worth a look-see, as it's one of the oldest communities in the US with buildings dating back to the 18th century! Come say hi!

whats a movie less than 60% on rotten tomatoes that you consider to be a perfect movie? like not a bit, genuinely perfect film. Does this count?

I’ve been covering my camera when I’m not using it, and it’s amazing how many apps blithely send me through after displaying a cute lil Face ID icon and calling it good.

I just had an extremely lovely night with some extremely kind feedback on a story from some fabulous humans. And now, to bed.

Ugh. Trying to post a thing that doesn’t use my dog’s death for, I dunno. Whatever social media is supposed to do. Anyhow, it was time but I’m still gonna miss him. We had a good run, buddy.

Saturday is the Stockade StreetFest in #Schenectady NY! If you love the Stockade and want to see all the lovely things that local vendors have brought to this historical district, I hope you’ll come on out and say hi. We’ll be there from 11 to 5. Learn more: www.historicstockade.org/stockade-str...
