Interesting to see the things cis people don't have to think about.
Had to turn down an audition from my agent because the shooting location isn't safe for me to travel to as a trans woman
Got some more done on this last night. It is extremely gay 😇😈

It’s Lesbian Visibility Week!
Here are some brilliant lesbian books with BIPOC MCs (I have to use “Sapphic” on TikTok because the algorithm doesn’t like the L-word).

We're heading into the weekend, so here's a little reminder that my novella came out this week! It's free and available to read online or as an epub :)
Got some good work in on my new story last night! I know I said I'd finish my band boys short, but the brain worms have struck again. This new one is gonna be on the more erotica scale vs traditional romance, and it's a cyberpunk setting.

As some of you know, I'm a full-time editor in my day job. I know my worth and the worth of my colleagues. Sure, I catch typos and grammar errors. But I also catch confusing syntax, accidentally offensive content, and many, many other things an AI program can't detect. FUCK YOU PAY US.
Won't pay editors but will pay AI companies to do the jobs of editors but worse: the trad publishing model
Happy release day!

Hi, I'm a disabled trans man author of queer gothic fantasy.
My debut follows a blood mage spymaster as she recruits a noble bastard with a terrible gift to hunt down a magical serial killer for the vampiric Eternal King—all while planning to overthrow him.
Hello! I'm a disabled and mentally ill author of gay transmasc fiction and I just released a new novella yesterday! BLEED WITH YOU draws from my experience of PTSD to tell a story about recovery, with lots of vampire antics and cute gay dates.

“Women characters suffer from a higher bar of morality. If a man is lying and cheating, that's fun. ‘Ooh, is he doing a heist? That’s sexy!’ But if a woman is a Machiavellian puppet master, some people are like, ‘Oh no, what she's doing is wrong!’ Yeah, get on the bandwagon! Women doing bad things is fun to watch and read about! My favorite characters are women who do things badly or poorly. It is possible to have women characters who are behaving badly but are still worth rooting for. But you have to get over that hurdle in a lot of readers' minds.” - TJ Alexander
Let! Women! Be! Morally! Complicated!

I am a Scrivener evangelist. I'm happy to give an independent company by writers for writers my money and it's a one-time payment not a subscription! I especially love that you can use it to create epubs super easily. The manual is 900 pages so I probably understand 10% of the functionality tho lol.
