And still at FanFiAddict, Ed was kind enough to invite me on for a little author chat about the new book, the new series, and why I'm so incredibly charismatic (yes I am I am)

Being as I'm on this new venture of adding a SciFi/future element to my taboo & fetish tales...I was debating switching up my style but decided to keep them as I typically write (some context and background, etc...but the sex scenes very primal/visceral, highly detailed & EXPLICIT and involve all 5 senses that the main character POV is experiencing within the scene.

Every morning, my ritual includes coffee and prayer. By “prayer,” I mean 20-30 minutes of reading. Book topics include theology, poetry, physics, personal growth… anything that bends my brain and introduces me to a concept I hadn’t considered.

I had a great time talking with @johnbiggs about how to ask for help on his podcast, "Keep Going: A Podcast About Failure and Success."

What are you doing right now? Is it creation or intentional destruction? Is it goofing off? If you’re procrastinating, ask yourself why. That reason is blocking your blessings. Related: I just spent 20 minutes scrubbing my slippers (not a euphemism). Time to take my own advice and get some stuff done today.

Just submitted my content/fee for the Chicago Writers Association Speakers Bureau. I offer a one-hour session focusing on happiness and resilience for groups (civic, nonprofit, business). Planting seeds. Crossing fingers that they bloom! 🎙️

When your life is pinwheeling into oblivion, remember a couple of key points:
1. Bad things happen to people who panic.
2. In order to change your spin, pick just one thing to change. Physics takes it from there.

Rebuilding. My life went sideways in May 2022, and I’ve spent the months since recalibrating, jettisoning that which no longer serves & taking steps to create my third act. Even though things have been really uncertain & chaotic, I’m also acutely aware of the fact that my “chaos” is someone else’s stable cocoon. Everything always works out for me. This will too. Breathe. #RandomThoughts #AuthorChat #change #KeepGoing #resilience

On today’s walk, a saw a murder of crows, which made me think of a post I’d seen referring to them as Halloween eagles, causing me to laugh and that how my tangent brain works.

Holy potatoes this is delicious. I do a lot of food prep so that the week's meals are easy to make. A standard item is a peanut butter mixture I created — ground flax seed, ginger & cinnamon (I usually top toast w/it). Today, I added it to another winter staple: a blend of steel cut oats and quinoa. A smidge of brown sugar made it just a little sweeter. LIFE CHANGING.

You can't edit what hasn't been written. The working title of my next book was literally "The Glob" for abt six months, bc I just glerbed stuff out of my head & into the Word doc. In partnership w/my editor, over time, I was able to rearrange the book in a way that made sense. Writer's block is sometimes a logjam of ideas. Let them out. Then start sorting. #AuthorsOfMastodon #author #WritingCommunity #AuthorChat #publishing #WritersBlock #WritingTips

When we apologize, we allow for expansiveness and possibility. We are taking responsibility for the action that caused someone else pain or inconvenience. Accountability for our actions leads to mindfulness, which in turn allows us to change our actions, expanding our opportunties. Full post:

When I was a kid, my gma used to say that “people who swore habitually lacked the mental faculties to summon an alternative phrase” (verbatim, Dear Reader). That’s why I seldom swear, but when I do, it’s with accuracy and velocity.

@treehugger precisely. I’m also a fan of thrifting. Shopping is a treasure hunt — you never know what you’ll find. As an author, I also use outfits as writers prompts: holding up clothes/creating a micro-story abt it: “Mrs. Thicklewaite was adamant about the proper way to brew tea. She kept a silver stopwatch in the right front pocket of her hand-stitched caftan for the purpose of timing how long the tea steeped. The voluminous garment would be the death of her.” #authorChat #climate
“A witty and wise 1953 letter from legendary children’s book editor Ursula Nordstrom — in imagination, comfort zones, and how to stand up to mediocre ladies in influential positions.” @mariapopova

Bennett Cerf bet Dr. Seuss that he couldn't write a book using 50 words or less. Green Eggs and Ham hit bookstores three years later and uses exactly 50 words.
My takeaway: Economies of scale can beget amazing creativity (just be careful not to wallow in a scarcity mindset).
Here’s Oscar-winning actor Kate Winslet reading Green Eggs and Ham:
