Another day closer to Christmas, another blog post about a lovely book! Today I want to tell you about Coffee Boy by Austin Chant Coffee Boy, released last year, is a M/M romance with a trans MC. It was recommended to me when I was looking for a trans-lead romance to read for the Diversity Bingo reading challenge. It’s a Continue reading Adventboost 2017 – Day 5 – Coffee Boy by Austin Chant
Last year on the 4th I boosted Ana Mardoll’s brilliant book Poison Kiss and since its sequel is one of my absolute favorite 2017 reads, I thought it was only appropriate to boost it on the same day. Survival Rout by Ana Mardoll Survival Rout is the second of Ana Mardoll’s Earthside books, a series of queer polyamorous fantasy romances Continue reading Adventboost 2017 – Day 4 – Survival Rout by Ana Mardoll
So, another December has begun and another NaNoWriMo has been won. Last week was a tough one, to be honest. I won NaNo by the skin of my teeth and the last part of the draft was a bit of a mess as my outline got derailed by worldbuilding details that came up organically while I drafted. But I am Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Coming Down From NaNo
Welcome back to Adventboost! December 3rd, and also the first Advent Sunday. My goodness! Only 3 weeks left until Christmas Eve (the Big Day here in Sweden) and honestly… I’m excited. I am ready for the food. Last night I baked the first batch of gingerbread cookies, and listened to Tori Amos’ Midwinter Graces for the first time since sometime in January (my favorite Continue reading Adventboost 2017 – Day 3 – Mona Haydar
(Psst. Have you checked out yesterday’s boost about the hashtag #Showupforwishes? Cuz you should!) And now, on to today’s boost! Gunrunners by Cecil Wilde Today I want to tell you about a lovely book called Gunrunners which, as its synopsis says, is “a short queer space adventure by Cecil Wilde”. This was one of those books I came across randomly on Continue reading Adventboost 2017 – Day 2 – Gunrunners by Cecil Wilde
Last year, I ran a blog post series I called AdventBoost with daily posts between December 1st and Christmas Eve, each featuring a marginalized creative or a work by a marginalized creative that I think you should all check out. You can check out last year’s AdventBoost posts here. Do it! Lots of great stuff, there. This year, I’m back Continue reading Adventboost 2017 – Day 1 – #ShowUpForWishes
Hello! Tiny little blog update time! Cuz it’s just one of those nights when I don’t have too much to say and my week can basically be described as “more NaNo!”. I hit 30k, had a lot of fun with my draft including a Thursday Morning Tea Time stream with some brainstorming, and I even started working on that short Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Hi there! Bye there!
Two NaNo weeks down, two and change to go! And it’s finally starting to feel like NaNo to me. As I mentioned last week, I had a really slow start this time. As of this weekend, I feel like I’ve finally gotten into the flow with the story, which is a delightful feeling. I wrote 3.5k yesterday! Not something I expect to Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – Catching Up!
One week into NaNo, and I am off to a slow but steady start. I am behind, for sure, but I am slowly catching up. Yay for that! I’m really enjoying working on this story, but there’s an edge of nervousness to that enjoyment because I really want it to turn out not just good but, specifically, pretty. Pretty prose is Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – A Slow but Steady Start
Tonight I hit a pretty major and exciting milestone. I finished the first draft of the 3rd Orryn Novella! I decided that I wanted to finish it, mess of a draft that it is, before NaNoWriMo so I wrote the last scene or two, about 1.5k words, tonight. The draft is going to need a lot of work on the rewrite. Continue reading Twice Fortnightly – A Pre-NaNo Triumph!
