My friend @nathanburgoine.bsky.social is the latest guest on the @wrotepodcast.com talking about his charming hi/lo novel DOGS DON’T BREAK HEARTS. #QueerWriterSky
“I saw you walk around the block and then head off. I was thinking you’d changed your mind.” “Oh,” I said. I still stood on the doormat. He hadn’t invited me in. “I was early.” “That’s okay. They leave for work before nine, but I needed time to get ready.” He grasped my hand and pulled me inside.
“Tea” was my first published story. I have @robbyrnes.bsky.social to thank for forwarding the call for submissions, and @beckycochrane.bsky.social and Timothy J. Lambert for accepting it. Without them and @scottynola.bsky.social, I wouldn’t have a so-called writing career. #1LineWed #QueerWriterSky
I imagine Bigfoot coming across us in the middle of the road and wonder what he’d make of it, me getting kissed by my straight best friend who has a freaky girlfriend and who tastes like beer and pot and slips his tongue in my mouth and suddenly I can’t remember my name. All I can think of is this strange feeling that I’m outside of my own body and Kyle’s hands are pulling me a little closer and this is the closest I’ve ever been to another guy.
This is from the middle of my story, “Looking for Bigfoot,” which was published by Little Fiction (they’ve been on hiatus a long time, but their archives are still up—check them out at www.littlefiction.com/beta/Home.html). #1LineWed #QueerWriterSky
By the third time, I’d figured out the pattern. The monster under my bed was trying to save me. “What is it?” I whispered when it grabbed me this time, but the monster merely snuffled and held me there. I sat on the edge of the bed. “What am I supposed to do?”
What if the creature you fear isn’t trying to hurt you, but trying to help you? “The Monster Under My Bed” is part of the free ebook you get when you sign up for my monthly letter. #QueerWriterSky jeffrey-ricker.kit.com
Excerpts from a chapter in my upcoming novel... 😅
Take a read if you will pls and lemme know your thoughts on the sample as best you can with the limited context. Hopefully you all can glean what's going on between the characters in this moment.

How do you find alpha/beta readers?
The only readers I know are my sister's and I'll be buggered if I'm getting them to read any quantity of sex scenes I've written xD

Drawing: A selfie taken by a woman kneeling on her bed. She has her eyes closed and a sleepy expression. She has shoulder length brown hair and freckles on her face, arms legs and chest. She is wearing a pink nightie with white straps and white trim.
Pictured: Issy - she/her (trans girl)
Not much of an artist but I'm really fucking proud of this
A scene from my WIP - A selfie Isabelle sends to Kai
She sends it with the caption "A selfie just to say thank you. Enjoy 😘"
(Kai isn't aware she's flirting).
