Don't mind me. I just have 3 books going

I've read so much smut...
and this is without considering fish and animal bodies
I have overthought this
because I have been in lakes and rivers I know have multiple bodies in them (my man used to work search and rescue for the area and has stories)
and so now I'm wondering what the body to water ratio is for those locations...i fear its larger than I want to hear
Gang, this is a Hanukkah buffet, and itβs not even particularly lavish for a crowd that size. The White House has hosted them for decades.

Let me be clear: Publishing as a whole does not pay authors their worth and for a lot of us the only steady money we get is through Patreon money. Now, add on being an indie author.
2 Patreon is sort of like a membership to a gym you don't use but don't cancel and that benefits the author but not the reader if you don't get much and sometimes nothing in that month Reply 49m Wait you black list any author who also has a patreon? Even if the extras are just that, extras and not actual books. I'm not judging I'm just curious. Reply 1 . 22m Yup .. and you are right they are extras not books but I'm still supposed to pay at a minimum $5/ month per author for an extra? I am not going to spend $X a month on the off chance an author is going to write a short about a couple or a series I am invested in ... you want to write a short and you want me to pay for it, publish it and I will buy it ... but I'm not going to hang on month afte ...

In shit that pisses me off this morning (and thanks to
@jemzero for this) is readers shitting on authors that have a Patreon account. Transcript: shrib.com#Nickolas66v8...

Faced with steep penalties, platforms have erred on the side of over-censoring. So a law intended to restrict many teenagers' access to explicit sexual content also effectively denies them information about sex education, LGBTQ+ topics, and even international conflicts.

In fact, an earlier version of KOSA was voted down, but has since been reintroduced.

Here in the US, Congress is considering KOSA, the SCREEN Act, the TAKE IT DOWN Act, the EARN IT Act, the STOP CSAM Act, and a repeal of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

But in the past several months, payment processors and digital store platforms have started severely restricting the kinds of sexual and adult/18+ content allowed in their terms of service. And of course all LQBTQ+ content is at risk of getting swept up in these bans.

Australia even took the extraordinary step of banning anyone under 16 from using any social media at all. This will probably be about as effective as the OSA, since many young people will find ways around the verification methods. And in the meantime, it puts everyone's personal information at risk.
This is the reason I can't withdraw any of my revenue from Patreon. PayPal does not allow transactions for sexual content in the form of digital products, or outside the US.

just now learning that #SmutCember is a thing and I feel both happy it exists and like I'm missing out with only just hearing about it
I found out yesterday that thereβs a holiday romance novel about fucking the Ghost of Christmas Past. I think weβre doing okay on the idea front.
(No, I donβt know the title offhand.)
Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!
just goes to show how boring people who rely on a machine to do the thinking for them are.
just word vomited over 1k in vampire lore in preparation for a new series rather than work on any of my WIPs...

Publishers are looking for writers with the sales record of Stephen King, the social media presence of a Kardashian, and the gratitude of someone being rescued from a burning building.

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
no
when people point out its a plagiarism machine he said that should be settled in courts...
How about we don't need the courts to tell us that plagiarism and slop is bad. It just is bad. Thats it. Thats not a witch hunt. Its facts.
