kd casey told me it’s really a book but i didn’t think i could write an entire book long distance again haha.

feeling extremely vindicated about my early (and by early i mean pre draft) slaf adoption

A photo of the xteink X4, a small eReader, held by someone on a sidewalk with blurry lights in the background

I now own the device (XTeink X4) which means I read a @aribaranwrites.bsky.social novella on public transit over the weekend.

I wouldn't personally put it on the back of my phone, but I love it for throwing in a pocket, wallet, etc!

oh and this is a sad one too 😂

aw you’re welcome!! that game was 😵‍💫

like i SHOULD wait to post this but also i can’t wait to post this.

having one of those days where i’m so stressed out and overstimulated by Responsibilities and deadlines and lack of recovery time that i feel like my brain is about to CTD

my excitement about a reader sending me this jar from a now-defunct bougie edmonton grocery store will probably make more sense after you read book five but i’m really excited to own it

@aribaranwrites.bsky.social couldn’t get these two out of my head…Home Ice Advantage #fanart #romance #digitalart

thank you so much, this is lovely 🥲

going through my content warnings for unsportsmanlike conduct like 🫣

aw, wishing the kid a quick recovery!

i have to get up off the couch and keep preparing things for when people come over for dinner and i don’t want to

they have roller balls! i’m pretty sure it must have been that…because i just looked up their fountain pens and im almost positive my mom could NOT have swung a gift like that back then 😂

it’s SO hard 🥲 and she had gotten him a mont blanc. which was very fancy to 8 year old ari.

and i remember being so proud of myself for NOT giving it away (i gave it away). there is a point to this story and the point is that it’s soooooooo hard for me not to share things. 👀

when i was about eight my mom decided to buy my dad a (for us) expensive pen for his birthday. i remember being so excited about it and trying SO hard to keep the secret. i asked him, very seriously: hey dad, what’s a very expensive pen?

stop 😭

The Submarine of Czechia: Or, The Life of a Spy at Mar-a-Lago A version of this short story was originally published in Flaming Hydra, an art collective I'm proud to be a part of. This is most definitely a work of...

sitting here still thinking about leo and devon like this is the first non-vers couple i’ve written in the series so far and tbh probably the last. but it’s plot-relevant reasons for the strict roles

now that i’ve turned in my manuscript and i am pretty caught up at day job maybe i’ll actually read a book today

congrats to you toooooo

🥲🧡

i've been having a pretty terrible week but i'm gonna turn in my manuscript this morning

seems like just a glitch but getting it fixed is taking longer than i’d hoped ☹️

day 3 of my ebooks just not being up for sale on any platform due to [a glitch?] i love publishing 🙂

i did not finish that day, but i finished yesterday, and it was 108,000 words. rip

as an author i would prefer not to be tagged in reviews under 4 stars and i know a lot of other authors who feel the same. if there's anything critical about the book in the review........just don't tag the author. like obviously please feel free to post them! i just don't want to be in it 😂
