Saw a man complain elsewhere about all the "Mary Sues" nowadays.
Funny how men who complain about "mary sues" never realize that "Gary Stus" are everywhere. Luke Skywalker is a Gary Stu. So is King Arthur & Conan. Hell, I'm going out on a limb here and declare that *every* male superhero is the perfect Gary Stu.
To them, it's only "wrong" when it's female instead of male.

BCubedPress did a video chat about their anthology Poetry for the Thoughtful Young, that I'm honored to have a poem included.

Pretty sure my stance on firearms won't lose any friends here.
Anyone who wants a gun, can get one. The same as anyone who wants a car. My stipulation is that the states, NOT FEDS, maintain the licensing databases to comply with the 2nd amendment.

GOOD MORNING HAIKU
Morning Alarm sounds
groggy stumble from my room
Give me coffee, Now.

Gathering my bravery to submit my completed patreon story to agencies I've bookmarked over the years. It's been edited by the same dude that edits one of my writer heroes Seanan McGuire, so it's ready to go but I am so scared.
This isn't easy for me b/c as an autistic woman I've been rejected so much in my life. I'm terrified I'll screw it all up & fail again.
All good thoughts appreciated.


Congrats to all the writers!
Even if you missed the 50,000 mark, you wrote and that's what matters.
