I see my future and it is so beautiful

Watching Season 8 of Game of Thrones right before NaNoWriMo turned out to be a brilliant decision, because no matter how many mistakes there are in this first draft — and believe me, I made plenty — there’s no earthly or cosmic way I can fuck up this story to the extent D&D did.

So does Ben Affleck 🤷🏾‍♀️

I DID IT! 🥳There were moments when I thought #NaNoWriMo would get the better of me this time round. My blood, sweat, and (copious) tears have gone into this manuscript. But I fucking did it. 50,000 words of passionate lesbian romance. Seasonal Depression: 0, Gay Agenda: 1.

Does feeling festive count as #TuesNews? Because I do, which means it’s Honeymoon for One season! ❄️ snowy romcom ❄️ lesbian & pan MCs ❄️ heartbroken pastry chef x standoffish ski instructor ❄️ sunshine x grump ❄️ found family ❄️ HEA loom.ly/6bwwVyM Romantic Novelists' Association

Influencers are wild. There’s a whole subgenre of videos on lesbian TikTok where women post about either sneaking their straps past security or having an agent examine their toy bags. 😳 You couldn’t waterboard that information out of me, nevermind compel me to share the footage.

I bought a hoodie from menswear yesterday. It’s the thickest, fleeciest, most comfortable hoodie I have ever owned. Plus it doesn’t cling to my boobs AT ALL. And I get it now, why the straight girls are always stealing their man’s garments. Because I am never taking this off.

I don’t know how to feel about my total Audible UK 🎧 listening time. In fairness they always have a lot of sapphic romances in the Plus Catalogue.

my spotify wrapped:

With Schmitt and Yasuda leaving Grey’s Anatomy, Grey Sloan Memorial is perilously close to deyassification. I’m going to need Amelia Shepherd to get a girlfriend yesterday. And Millin. They could even date each other, in the problematic yet compelling style of early MerDer. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Author copies of The Relationship Mechanic are here! Can't tell you how good it feels to have this one in my hands. It'll feel even better when it releases January 21, 2025!💕 Preorder: bit.ly/therelationshi…

Just been through all the books I’ve read in 2024 to fill out two Sapphic Book Bingo cards, and — for the first time — a Hidden Gems card. 🥳📚 As always, thank you so much to Jae 🏳️‍🌈 for her tireless work championing the sapphic books community. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

This year I’m trying to cut back on book buying and focus on my unending TBR pile, but Jae 🏳️‍🌈’s Bachelorette Number Twelve is currently 99p in the UK Kindle store. A bargain too good to miss! 🏳️‍🌈📖 amazon.co.uk/Bachelorette-N…

My Audible UK 🎧 wrap up for 2024 is in, and they couldn’t have done a better job summarising my taste in books.

“bring back insatiable, astronomical levels of yearning in books” just read lesbian romance books!

HUGE congrats Lou Morgan 📚🏳️‍🌈 (LouMorgan.bsky.social) on your Hera Books deal! I remember reading an early draft of #StrapIn back in Sept 2023, and falling completely for your wonderfully complex and complicated love story, told with depth and humour. bookbrunch.co.uk/page/article-d…

New literary pet peeve: when a book has a Scottish protagonist and the audiobook features an English voice actor who butchers Scottish dialect, and can’t do the accent to save their life. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ Gonnae just hire someone fae Scotland?
