That's the plan. I'm sending it back for proofing soon.

Sometimes getting a toddler dressed for school is like coaxing a badger into an animal crate: try as you might, eventually you're going to have to do it the hard way. You will bleed.

FMC Kalie waaaaay over thinks modern courtship, to hopefully hilarious results.

Vanilla (with Sprinkles) coming this summer.

I have no words

Kalie emerged from the bathroom, her dress already straightened to cover her. She beamed from ear to ear. “You still okay, Sam?” He nodded. “Yeah.” “Can I get you something to drink?” The mistress's alter ego had disappeared completely. “Sure.” Her sweet little laugh tumbled towards his ears. “I’m afraid your options are seltzer or boxed wine as always.”

From Vanilla (with Sprinkles): I have exactly one instance of this and it's adjacent to a spicy scene.

I examine his massive body dwarfing the room around us. He won’t be my Jaxis in fourteen days; I’ll never see him again, and I’ll never be stupid enough to wander out that far in the woods.

#WIPSnips for March 7 the word "massive"

This is from "My Imprisoned Fae" which is a Cinderella retelling with a twist.

I want credit for not picking the spicy chapter!

Okay but for real tho, y'all know I picked up writing as a hobby because I lack self-confidence and now it's like I have to....say nice things about my own writing to get other people to read it? 😭

I think I just need to keep trying different things and it also might be helpful to keep posting about the one book I actually have for sale.

I'm sorry for your loss

Gordon is being smart about a rose he got from a secret admirer, so he doesn't hurt their feelings, all the while being hyperaware of his classmates around him.

Marketing is by far the hardest writing I do...but like writing books, I guess it only gets better by doing, trying, and trying again.

I think I'm still in the "newb" phase of trying to market. And yes, hate it with a burning passion.

My toddler just woke up crying because she wants to go back to #Disneyworld.

Same kiddo, same.

“I can have Darcia boil eggs and potatoes for us if you wander out too far. But please try to be back, you know Darcia isn’t suited to these sorts of things.” Darcia has always acted as if touching a single kitchen tool will ruin her soft hands; I wish I could watch her from the window each time.

It's a well-known medical fact that men who read literary fiction have entirely avoided the "male loneliness epidemic."

Yesterday's #WIPSnips 'counter' - had a headache and couldn't get it done before sleeping. Will post today's later

Gordon & Vicky love to annoy each other.

& Tober is Vicky's friend's big bro.

This drawing is the only one I have of the 2 together. Which is a problem.

I haven't done one from Opus in a while ... here's Tess discovering that Lorcan isn't the only strange thing in the pub #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #FairyTale #Romantasy

When she finished, the charcuterie tray had transformed into an abundant rustic Renaissance painting worthy of a social media post. Did flavor improve with grand presentation? Kalie wondered as she headed to the other side of the room before anyone noticed her masterpiece. Hadn’t she done the same when she put herself together for a New Year's Party? Sparkly headband, tight-fitting dress with cleavage designed to draw attention. Like the tray, perhaps she looked good enough to be a decadent one-time snack but was as ordinary as grocery-store cheese.

Because the inherent value of "grocery store cheese" is a matter of perspective.

Reminder to all my friends working in the creative space...all those payment processors who decided certain *fictional* topics were off limits still work on Polymarket.

Again certain works of FICTION Visa and MasterCard have effectively censored but...

A four-panel black and white comic. Panel 1) Caption: 8am Rachael and Rob are in bed. Rachael looks stressed. Rufus, their cat, is asleep on the bed. Rachael: Ugh...I should have got up early and got some work done...my deadline is Thursday... Rob: But you stayed up late working last night! Rachael: Yeah... Panel 2) Rachael and Rob have lay back down. Rachael has shut her eyes. Rob: Babe, if you need me to look after Henry a bit more, just ask! You don't need to do a silly morning/night thing! Rachael: “Silly Morning Night Thing” is my superhero name. Panel 3) Same shot Rachael: (speaking like Batman) Hi, I'm “Silly Morning Night Thing” and I make bad decisions. Rob: Haha! Why do you talk like that? Panel 4) Same shot Rachael: (speaking like Batman) I...am very dehydrated because I don't drink enough water. Please see preceding sentence about bad decisions. Rob: Haha!

Nap Comix #378

Been burning the candle at both ends and also not really looking after myself too great. I'm trying to be better! I'm so tired I'm not even sure this comic makes sense OOPS.

“Epic handshake” meme, with one muscular arm captioned “Frasier” and the other captioned “Chopped.” Where they join is captioned “I don’t know what to do with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs”

“Lenora—” His low voice rumbles from the stairs behind me. “I’m fine sleeping in the fireplace over the winter. If you’re not, there’s the door.” I grip the edge of the counter and pray he’ll leave me be. Gentle palms cup my shoulders. I know what he’ll say: the forest isn’t far and he’ll ensure my prison is warm. “I won’t leave you.” His gentle squeeze upon my shoulders makes my heart ache.

Recollection round 2 beta edits are done \o/ I need to do some odds and ends before shipping it off to betas, but tomorrow might be the day 👀

Sam sauntered in with a smile. He took his cap off, exposing a mop of floppy hair, and Kalie fought the urge to run her fingers through the wayward locks. He was adorable, like a knight protecting her from the evil driveway full of snow. Kalie let him instruct her on driving in icy conditions before taking him home. Snowstorm wisdom seemed like Sam’s version of care. He’d been keen to help her since they met and always appeared most in his element when he was assisting with something. Maybe kindness felt like a trap, because he was her first kind friend.

If you see this, post a knight.

You won't regret it. I devoured that book!

At the very least I wish we would stop judging parents for deciding that fed is best and in some instances processed food over hunger. 2/2

I love this thread, but to piggyback, many parents feed their kids boxed mac and cheese, because they know their child will eat it. When you don't have extra money in your budget you really can't afford to have food thrown away, thus PB & J and mac and cheese. 1/2
