I'm questioning why ANY of you watched the presidential "debate." On more interesting topics, I'm discussing Romantasy, Paranormal Romance, fantasy worldbuilding vs. vibes, and my ongoing lesson in writing more and faster.

The Paste Magazine article on Romantasy I mention is here https://www.pastemagazine.com/books/fantasy-books/what-is-romantasy-fantasy-romance-genre-explained

A discussion of the agent taking a querying author's idea and asking someone else to write it, on ideas in general, and why you still shouldn't worry about people stealing them. Also, a party at GRRM's and how even famous writers are still people.

Updates on edits on NEVER THE ROSES, the ups and downs of maternity leave, women supporting women, the amazing show UNBELIEVABLE that I want you all to watch, and the enduring pain of asking for endorsement quotes.
