Oh! I’m so interested in a recumbent bike!

I wrote my very first novel everywhere: couch, bed, paratransit, train, while getting an insulin resistance test.

What am I even like???

These days, I write on my iPad or in my office. #SpoonieAuthChat

What’s the greatest thing I’ve achieved as a disabled person?

Um…

Oh!

Not walloping people with their own yoga mat?

(If you know, you know.) 😉

Like, I understand it’s only one person, but my brain refuses to believe it!

YAY! I’m so glad you did!

Not feeling well, so I’m watching Sinners again. And I’m just baffled at the first scene with the twins exchanging a cigarette back-and-forth. I think this is why I thought they were actors who were twins as opposed to the incredible Michael B Jordan playing both roles. It’s absolutely seamless.

THIS IS GONNA BE AMAZING!!!!

Awesome!

Thanks for nominating folks! 😊

I’m holding up a copy of Speculative Shorts and smiling. A little sign peeping out of the top of the books asks, “For your consideration?"

Hey, guess what? My collection, Speculative Shorts: Stories that fell out of my brain, is eligible to be nominated for a Prix Aurora Award in the Best Related Works category! Nominations can be cast until 11:59pm Eastern Time on April 4!

It can! I often cozy up to write in the fall, but sometimes spring inspires! I usually take the summer off. #SpoonieAuthChat

I believe in being kind, not “nice.”

Here’s to all the women out there who ruffle feathers for the betterment of humanity!

It’s International Women’s Day. I am fun and friendly while also being feisty and an advocate.

I lost many of my fucks to give along with my estrogen. So, if you’re looking for the “nice disabled golden girl,” move along.

I thought my Aurora Award and Indie Ink Award were signs of recognition and achievement.

I was wrong.

It’s Ms. Spamsalot announcing that a book I never even wrote can go really far with the right marketing.

THAT’S REALLY MAKING IT, BABY!!!

They were nom!

Thank you!

I am always impressed by folks who write in English, and it’s not their first language. I wish I had the ability to write full works in another language. So much admiration here!

I CANNOT HELP BUT BEHOLD YOU

And today I was spam-marketed by someone who wants to promote a book I never wrote! Bye!!!!

Thank you!

I just love lemon. Yay!

Thank you! My fingers weren’t finging so well today, so my rosettes got kinda wonky. But they still tasted good!

Baked a dozen lemon cupcakes and thought it would be fun to do the rosettes in yellow and pink, like pink and yellow lemonade! This is all in celebration that my upcoming space opera romcom (with the meet-awkward of the 25th century), Hot Wings and Sauciness, is officially in production.

My books!

Oh wow!!! Congratulations!!!!

And my book is off to the editor humans!

Gonna bake a Made It to Editing Cake.

Me too! Sorry I missed it!!! #WeeknightWriters
