🫂🫂 take care 💜

I can't write drunk. I've tried, doesn't work 😅

Coffee and tea are a must though!

Script if you need it:

I’m calling to tell Representative ____ to oppose H.R. 7661. This bill would pressure schools to remove titles that discuss lived experiences that some politicians find controversial. I don’t think trans people are controversial. (contin)

A picture of two chibi men in a medieval city street. Sasha is on the left, he is taller with light brown hair and pale skin. He's wearing leather armor and giving flowers to Galen. Galen is shorter with tan skin and red hair. He has a flower behind one ear and is wearing a yellow tunic. He's laughing as Sasha smiles at him.

You should never feel guilty for talking about books. The world is on fire, but we still need to educate and enrich ourselves. Books can make you a better person. Books are the answer. #BookSky

I would hate it if I had to do things I didn't enjoy, but I'm just out here sharing snippets of my writing and yapping about my WIPs and characters to people who are genuinely interested in them so it's another happy part of the creative process for me.

A blue sea with a pink sunset background. The text on top is in a translucent rectangle. It reads "The Wine-Dark Sea" and then "the temple is a lonely place. So, too, is the sea. Still, it carries what you desire all the same. Your love."

If you're looking for your next spring read, might I suggest preordering The Wine-Dark Sea? You'll enjoy...

Zoomers and millennials are quickly becoming a majority of the electorate, and many older politicians do not understand how vehemently younger voters despise elected officials who take corporate money or appear to engage in insider trading.

Graphic 1: Cover Reveal: Exquisite Undead: An Anthology of Vampires curated by T.L. Morgan. The cover shows an androgynous vampire figure holding a glass of blood, amidst an intricate background that looks like a stained glass window. There are motifs of roses and bats among the stained glass. The vampire is facing away from the viewer, with their head turned slightly over their shoulder and a slight smirk on their face. Above the cover, text says “Follow the project on Kickstarter; launching April 1.” Below the cover, text says “Cover Reveal; artwork by R.E. Murray.”

Friday wins: I received some great feedback on my editing this week!

It was a huge mood & confidence boost when I struggle to believe in myself.

Sometimes, I doubt if I'm capable of being a freelance editor. But when I work hard and get good feedback, it eases my fears a bit.

Thank you all! 💜

Illustrated cover of WHEN YESTERDAY ENDS by S. Jean. In the center are two men standing back to back. The short of the two, Ambrose, has fair skin, red hair, glasses, and one green eyes and one glowing hazel eye. He is wearing an open button-up with an undershirt beneath it. In his hands are an open book and a potion bottle with red liquid inside. He is glancing back at the man behind him. The taller of the two, Renwick, has fair skin, dark brown feathered hair, and green eyes. He also has pointed ears, like an elf. He is wearing a dark vest over a dark shirt. In his raised hand are a bundle of daisies. While Ambrose looks unamused, Renwick has a coy smile on his lips as he gazes as Ambrose. Behind them is an open window with a golden glow and in the foreground are more daisies. The colors are soft and give it a sort of ephemeral feel. Along the top is a tagline that reads: "an herbalist, a fey lord, and a curse before summer ends..." and below is the release date, JULY 28th, 2026.

Have you added WHEN YESTERDAY ENDS to your TBR yet? You totally should if you haven't! cottage core vibes, curses, magic, a grumpy mc...

Bonus: Big story edits first (using alpha/critique partners), line edits next, smaller edits (grammar/spelling) last. Also if you can, hire an editor.
