Joined the #5amwritersclub for the first time while beta'ing a buddy's story. 10/10 recommend.

I knew I was a 3am girlie (thank you knee pain nights!!) but 5am hits different

I am a bisexual author of sapphic speculative fiction with bi female MCs. Regardless of who my MCs end up with, I always make sure there is a line or two to reference their bisexuality -- no bi erasure here! Latest short story:

www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

Update to the third person dilemma: turns out there were OTHER issues in the outline that the dilemma highlighted

Worked them out and now ya girl is back to first person again 😂

People who write in third person, I am jealous. My new WIP is DEMANDING to be written in third, but I just keep getting writer's block on the actual prose.

It me!! Y'all I am so excited to be a part of this anthology ❤️

It’s time to reveal @nicolemtota.bsky.social as another author of A CHRONICLE OF MONSTERS!

What can I say about Nicole’s She Sings the Graveyard Hymn, without giving too much away? It’s sapphic. There’s a banshee. It’s something you *need* to read.

👀👀

Ugh spelled an agent's name wrong already. Do agents give the benefit of the doubt, like the time an agent called me someone else's name for a partial request?

Should prob announce this here, too, but I am officially in the query trenches with my sapphic LORE OLYMPUS x THE LAST OF US romance!!

Got a few dream agent likes at yesterday's PitDark 🥰

Doing #PitDark on Twitter tomorrow with the new MS and I am so unbelievably nervous. Like, I was NOT this nervous with sapphic YA, idk why I feel so sick now

I'm building my agents list for SapphicDystopianRomantasy with so much joy in my heart. I actually can't wait to dive into the trenches with this baby ☺️

What is this feeling??
#amquerying

Shout out to my beta readers for being literally amazing and giving me the courage to ruthlessly chop 4K

❤️

#sapphicauthors #amquerying #amwriting

Me! Idk how it will work without functioning hashtags though

Ooh that's a good goal! I'm really excited for that one (bc the Cam snippets I've been seeing so far are just too good)

Anybody here contemplating #NaNoWriMo?

I'm personally torn between picking up an old WIP for revising, drafting a new one whose plot outline is messy AF, and working on short stories...

Or of course doing nothing 😂

Moodboard for new WIP!

You're never gonna believe it...

I finished SapphicDystopianWIP!! I've been keeping this bad boy under wraps for awhile and she's gonna be making her Twitter/Bluesky pitch debut for #PitDark

I am starting to put together a list of speculative short fiction events, submission calls, crowdfunding campaigns, and new releases in November for Hive Mind 1.2. 🐝

If you have any of these happening in November, get in touch at hexagonmagazine@gmail.com for inclusion! 🧡

Also dropping my end word count down to 93, because it's seeming pretty darn clear that's the number I'll hit.

Final push to finish my last chapter tonight (hopefully).

And then I'm going to urgent care in the morning because I kinda can't breathe very well 😩

Happy National Coming Out Day

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Every coming out journey is unique and valid...

Whether you've been out and proud for years

Or are still discovering what being out means for you

Or are waiting for the right moment

We honor you and support you 🌈

If you’ve enjoyed an indie book, hit up the author and tell ‘em. Leave a review. Share the news. Post some book porn. The indie scene lives and dies by word of mouth.

Realizing that my only common thread across WIPs is just ✨sapphic✨

(also, someone please bully me into finishing SapphicDystopian, I am begging you)
