Do you ever get way down there in your Spotify likes, and just go, ‘ah, this era of me. They had good taste’?

The reason categorizing fanfiction by tropes works is because there's already an established setting, cast of characters, and theme in the original work, so when people write fanfics they're building sand castles in pre-existing beaches, but when you advertise your book as "sci-fi enemies to lovers where there's only one bed and also they're gay" it says nothing about what the premise is, who the characters are, or what the book is actually trying to say. That's not to say that books containing stuff like "sci-fi enemies to lovers where there's only one bed and also they're gay" can't be absolutely fantastic books, but if you only advertise by listing off tropes that are inherently cookie-cutter then you're implying (whether intentionally or not) that there's nothing interesting or memorable about the book besides smashing tropes together like you're playing with action figures.

Same goes for 2024, people. Be pessimistic, be pleasantly surprised. I have a lot happening this year. Will it go my way? Probably not, so I won’t be sad when it doesn’t.

Guys stop saying 2022 is going to be your year, that’s what you said about 2020 and look at how that turned out for us all.

thinking dirty whorish thoughts (daydreaming about working in a bookstore while the early winter sunlight filters in through the windowpanes across from me and gilds everything in the softest honey)

I’m not saying it was a rough year, I’m just saying Waves by Imagine Dragons was my top song. Also, Act 1&2 got me through this year. Any way, Happy New Year. I’ll try to post more than once a quarter.

Typo from my current romance project:

… Ellie had always adored hugs, cuddling, and hisses over other forms of affection.

Me realizing what I typed:

Yes, her true love is a cat.

Arthur with attractive women: *has to be placed under a powerful enchantment to show an interest in marriage*

Arthur with attractive men: do you want to be my knight? I mean Camelot’s knight. A knight of Camelot. I need— I mean, Camelot needs. Knights.

unfortunately, due to several experiences in my youth, i cannot just “walk up and join the circle of people talking”, but it does sound lovely thank you

Smut writers, how the hell do you do it? I can’t write to characters kissing without wanting to die. Help me.
