Have not figured out how to make Good videos yet, but I am making videos, so I guess that’s a step in the right direction. You can tell I’m new to Booktok ‘cause I don’t have a manicure.

And now back to my regularly scheduled writing.

“He was like a German Shepherd. Even in kindergarten, he’d rat out anyone with contraband snacks. And when he grew up? He loved making citizens’ arrests.”

Characters being compared to dogs always use terriers or pitbulls or something for their metaphors. “They grab on and they don’t let go” “They keep worrying at it until it’s dead” etc.

Anyway, I want to see collies used as metaphors. Albert Payson Terhune style. “He was like an attack dog–making slash-and-run attacks, cutting them up worse every time, never staying in range long enough to get hurt but circling back over and over.”

remember: it is ALWAYS morally correct to wear shorts that are way too small. it is your right to have your ass cheeks out. if you ever find yourself thinking “do i really need to show hole to go hang out with casual platonic friends?” that is the devil talking. you do. you need to

Love the experience of writing a character who is absolutely, completely, and unapologetically an asshole. They never stop bitching, not even in their internal monologue, and they are the very embodiment of a cranky goat.

It’s incredible, more writers should write characters who are in no way meant to be unproblematic favs. Write problematic favs instead. Good for the writing soul.

I will continue to make dumb graphics until I learn to make less dumb graphics

[ALT: Infographic for UNRIVALED, Hockey Ever After - Book Three, by Ashlyn Kane and Morgan James. Graphic shows the book cover, with two hockey players battling for the puck and tagline “Love doesn’t pull its punches.” Cover is surrounded by text indicating tropes from the book, clockwise from top left: Grumpy/Sunshine; Rivals to Lovers; Enemies with Benefits; Accidental Feelings; Nasty, Disrespectful Sex]

[Alt text: Left side of square reads “Don’t tell me you’ve never thought about it. Don’t you want to know what’s better? Your imagination... or my reality?” Right side of square shows book cover for Hockey Ever After Book Three: Unrivaled, by Ashlyn Kane and Morgan James. Two opposing hockey players battle for the puck. Tagline reads “Love doesn’t pull its punches.”]

UNRIVALED will release February 21. I’m feeling totally normal about this.
