It's going to be close to 100 degrees this weekend, it's been at least two years since I had a day at a beach and I am CRAVING hot sand and freezing cold water.
I finally summarized my book in one sentence. 70,000 words in on the first draft.
"Queers fight oppressive systems in post-apocalyptic Alaska."
That's it. I did it. Augh. #AmWriting

This book that I'm writing may be two entirely different stories and I don't know how I feel about that. #AmWriting

How much nonfiction vs. fiction do you guys read?
I always read books in the order that they're on my lists, because otherwise I'd never be able to choose what I really wanted to read. 80% of the stuff on my tbr list is stuff that I'm *dying* to read but haven't gotten to yet, and most of the other 20% is stuff that I will be thrilled to have read once I start it.
I cultivate my lists carefully to have a good mix of new stuff, series stuff, and stuff by authors that I've got a good track record with.
I got word count in my novel AND wrote the first draft of a book review today! Getting back on that horse now that work is slowing down and I swam my part of the triathlon. #AmWriting
#amreading βApocalypse Nyxβ by Kameron Hurley. Gritty SF action-thriller (actually a collection of novellas). Tough women. Guns. Bug-based technology. Recommended if you like those things, or if you like grizzled action-movie protagonists but wish they werenβt all guys.
#AmReading Un Lun Dun by China Mieville, and it's charming and weird, and I like it quite a lot.
I still measure everything he's written against my absolute favorite of his, Embassytown, though, and nothing has quite been for *me* as much as that one was. Un Lun Dun is no exception.
Today I had a lot of thoughts about gender and deep cleaned my living room.
