I’ve spoken out against *gestures broadly* on Instagram in the past, but never as loudly as I did this morning. I’m losing followers for supporting trans kids.

Today was… too much.

Scrapping and starting over can be so painful, but the payoff is worth it!

I love him, but my anxiety levels spike every time I scroll and hear him say β€œbreaking news.”

I’m writing three books at once.

I never wanted to say, β€œI told you so.” I wanted to say, β€œI’m so glad I was wrong.”

I’ve been going back and forth on this. It’s hard to know the right approach! Currently, I’m being as loud and intolerable as I can on FB, just to posh back.

This collage thing is trending on IG. And what better way to introduce myself here?

Do we have anything in common?

I think my romance books might actually get MORE political. πŸ’…

A lot of new followers over here today. First of all, hi! I’m happy you’re here!

And secondβ€”I’m detoxing from social media (and the world) for 24 hours after posting this. And when I come back, I have a feeling I’ll be prioritizing #booksky and making this my new home on the internet.

My new favorite source of comedy is the way people are commenting β€œthis would have done numbers on TikTok” on TikTok.

I’m completely unplugging on Inauguration Day. No news, no social media, no phone. It’ll be good for my soul. πŸ“΅

This draft has a couple instances of β€œGraham makes some sarcastic/deadpan joke here” for me to go back and edit later.

I’m clearly not as clever as my characters.

I think I’m going to share one of these scenes on Patreon later. Just needs a quick edit first πŸ€ͺ

Another microtrope I can’t get enough of: when the friend group just… hangs out.

When everyone’s sitting around drinking, eating, or just shooting the breeze, it’s a nice breather between all the big, dramatic moments. And it makes me feel like I’m part of the group.
