coworker: what's your book about?
me: it's a queer romance between a hollywood showrunner and her assistant.
cw: can my husband read it without getting offended?
me: .....i don't know? i don't know your husband.
cw: he's homophobic.
me: okay then no.

Potential unpopular opinion: the enemies-to-lovers trope is too often NOT enemies-to-lovers so much as it is people-who-pretend-to-hate-each-other-but-actually-have-feelings-realize-they-have-feelings and that is not as good as actual enemies-to-lovers

Sometimes it’s easy to forget the world is not as accepting as those I keep close. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that writing books about women falling in love is any different from writing a man and woman falling in love.
Weeks like this remind me.

I’m not naming the library, because they were nothing but kind to me. But county commissioners explicitly told the library director that they would use any queer programming as an excuse to cut funding.

I had big dreams of changing the landscape of publishing by writing f/f. If I am, it’s gradual. It’s slow erosion, not shifting plate tectonics.

the thing is romance does love to describe men as big and manly in a way that, if we bothered to dig into it instead of get mad at anyone who even slightly criticizes the genre, we’d realize is rooted in sexism, transphobia, and fatphobia, all at once!

And I’ll keep being a trans nonbinary author writing love stories for queer women.
This world isn’t going to turn on a dime and accept me and my books, but maybe it’ll be easier for the queer authors who come next.

Ten years ago today, drunk and exhausted after my sister’s wedding, I sat down in the shower crying bc I couldn’t get all the pins out of my hair.
A pretty girl, who I’d met in person for the first time the day before, sat next to me and silently began taking them out for me.

This was going to be the first event I got paid for. As though trying to have a career as an author weren’t hard enough without losing income for being queer. 🙃

f/f books have an audience and can sell if given support
and
f/f books you think are "everywhere" may not be doing as well as you think and still could use your vocal support
can both be true at the same time

In December, I scheduled top surgery for May 4. I’ve been planning my life around the date.
Tonight, the surgery got canceled, 8.5 hours before I was due to check in.
We’ll reschedule and it’ll be fine. I’m just really sad right now.

Rather than criticizing an individual’s choice on how much of their identity to publicly share, we should be focusing on publishing’s tendency to favor writers who are or appear to be cis het.

Do you ever watch a movie you remember *loving* when you were younger, only to learn it turns out you were just a baby queer, unknowingly in love with the lead actress, and the movie itself is actually bad?

So no. He can’t read anything I write and not be offended. Not sorry.
