Re the micro-micro #wedding: how the ‘big day’ got smaller, more intimate and affordable - article in The Guardian newspaper. We #eloped, with no guests, & a photographer and a stranger lady dragged in off the street by the registrar as witnesses. #Eloping was the best option in the middle of my parents’ very traumatic #divorce. A wonderful wedding day. It will be our 29th wedding #anniversary next month. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/aug/14/micro-micro-wedding-how-big-day-got-smaller-more-intimate-affordable #Weddings #Marriage #Elopement #ScottishWeddings #Scotland #Romance

Hello and welcome to my little #introduction !*

I'm an Indian-American diaspora #Bipoc #writer working on a few WIPs. I #write mostly #scifi , #fantasy , #horror , #romance.

Other things you'll find here: #journaling and #bujo talk, #photography of the #desert and #sunsets, pondering plot and writer's block, #reading and book reviews. And probably a few rants about the capitalistic hellscape and job hunting.

I'm hoping to connect with people of similar interests; particularly writers and readers. Or anyone who just wants to have a good time and be an awesome person.

Currently playing through #cupidparasite and being pleasantly surprised by a character I didn’t expect to like. I love how the protagonist has such a fresh perspective on #romance it’s really easy to get an understanding of the rather problematic characters like Ryuki.

Either in #otomegames or #rpg #jrpg or other kinds of #videogames who was a character you ended up liking more than initially expected?

I wonder if "I will tend your wounds" scenes hit so hard because they are such visible manifestations of care and vulnerability.

"Firefighter Love" has one of the nicest comments I've ever received in an Audible review:

"I usually don’t really get how much of a turn-on people say a woman’s breathy voice can be, but after listening to Eden’s performance right after Maddie takes off her dress, I think I get it now."

Hear it for yourself! https://geni.us/FFLo

New cover for book 1 in my sweet contemporary romance series. The Furrever Friends series features the workers and customers at a small-town cat café, and the adorable cats and kittens looking for their forever homes. Each book is a complete story with a happy ending for one couple (and maybe more than one rescued cat).

A little LOVE tonight...I had fun with this piece. I hand placed each rectangle to form the dimension and I liked it. But it felt empty so I kept going back to it for about a week. Then had the idea of ascending hearts. That was it! It just makes me happy. :)

I realized, I actively love what I'm writing right now. I think that wasn't always the case with previous versions of my novel draft, but as of right now, I'm putting out straight fire.

(gay fire? Queer fire? Let's workshop it).

It's April 1st!
That means, the A to Z Blogging Challenge is off to a start.

My theme this year is "Romance Tropes in Folklore". I am taking popular tropes, and finding their equivalents in traditional stories.

A is for Arranged Marriage romances.

Today's #RomanceTropesInFolklore post:
"Chic and Awe"

It's the name of the trope (according to TV Tropes) where someone expects a stranger to look unattractive, and then they show up and turn out to be hot.

And then they fall in love, obviously.

weirdwriter, to bookstodon

I just saw a disclaimer in front of a #Romance book where the author actually felt that they had to justify why they actively did not include any homophobia in the book and that instantly made me very sad because you know this actually happened in the past where readers wrote to a writer and actually got super furious at them for creating a utopia in a book. Sometimes, I read things like this and I really don’t know what criticism to take seriously and what I should ignore. You, as a reader, might not like hearing this, but did you ever stop to think that maybe the reason why an author created a world with no homophobia in it because they just want to give some joy and a story without traumatizing some of their readers? Maybe they just wanna give Their readers and escape from the real world for a little while? I sincerely don’t believe for one minute that it’s erasing homophobia in the real world. I just can’t imagine anybody sincerely getting outraged over that, just blows my mind. @bookstodon

avec Love on the brain, d'Ali Hazelwood.
Un roman mettant en scène une femme scientifique affligée de syncopes inopinées, ça ne pouvait que me plaire. J'ai donc passé outre la mièvrerie de la couverture et dévoré cette sympathique romance, dont je ressors le sourire aux lèvres.
Bonus : on aborde au passage les thèmes du sexisme et du classisme dans le milieux universitaire.
