I just got a very sweet postcard in the mail from my favorite characters. I had forgotten I requested one a while ago. I just wanted to thank you so much. I’m in a kind of low place lately but the little “I believe in you’s” I just got from the sidekick squad made me so happy. Thank you 10,000 times over!
thank YOU so much! i don’t check my asks that often so this is quite late but i appreciate this message! the sidekick squad had a great time sending out the postcards and i’m so glad it helped brighten your day. you are wonderful and valid and i’m wishing you all the best

tips for writing more
As someone with adhd I have a lot of trouble being productive and staying focused. This year i’ve developed a few techniques that have really helped me write more!
Write for a set amount of time Every day I write for one hour. Sometimes I don’t write much, other times I write a lot. What’s important is that I have one hour every day to sit down and do it. Making it a habit is important! Also, the fact that I have a set end point helps me to focus. 
Have a writing space I never seem to be able to focus as well when i’m writing from bed. Now what I do is I have a table in the living room, and I go there to write. That’s what I do there, and when I sit down at that table, it puts me in the mindset to write. 
Have writing music I have playlists for certain stories! Personally I have to listen to ones that are soft and mostly instrumental. When I listen to the playlist, I know it’s time to write!
Have a writing candle This one might be a personal thing, but I like to have a scent associated with a task. 
anyone else have specific things they do that help them focus or be productive?

Boomerang: a new show to look out for on BET, with a Black lesbian and a Black bi male character. And it’s a Lena Waithe project, so it’s very likely to be good!

queer superheroes is such a good genre… intense, actiony books like Dreadnought with a trans lesbian protagonist…. lighter, fun books like Not Your Sidekick with a bi protagonist and wlw romance….. non-YA sexy books like Cinnamon Blade with a bi protag and a love interest who’s still figuring out her labels……. all very good and very iconic

Arrival (2016) dir. Denis Villeneuve
I used to think this was the beginning of your story. Memory is a strange thing. It doesn’t work like I thought it did. We are so bound by time, by its order.
