Queer writer, librarian, and tabletop game lover in KCMO. Whimsically furious. I write gay stuff. I always want to play D&D. Currently writing: Good Bones

I know it stands for “Book of the Month,” but I continue to read BOTM as simply “Bottom.”

Branding opportunity

🌈 Here to introduce our first BOTM for May! 🎉

In May, we are featuring The Sun & the Star: a Nico diAngelo Adventure by Mark Oshiro (@MarkDoesStuff) and Rick Riordan (@rickriordan ). This book is perfect as a standalone and long time Percy Jackson fans!

I don’t know which of @KDEdwards_NC’s characters this is but it’s for sure one of them.

We're just some dudes who love Taco Bell. Why is the Literary world so afraid of just some dudes who love Taco Bell

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

Before being diagnosed with ADHD, I was constantly asked the impossible-to-answer “why?!” about how I thought and acted.

But people couldn’t accept that I didn’t know either, so I gave random answers to see what was acceptable enough.

You lie to survive, but don’t know why.

@KDEdwards_NC @KDEdwards_NC I do think that asking these questions upfront and engaging the community goes a long way though. I inherently trust pretty much anything coming our way.

[C.A. Kottmann (He/Him) @CAKottmann]

@KDEdwards_NC I think if the narrative doesn’t reflect their identity, it’s the equivalent of She-who-shall-not-be-named tweeting a character was gay years after publication.

If I start crying do you think all these people will leave the gym?

If you're a librarian, author, bookseller, or publishing professional, and several distant relatives and/or acquaintances have messaged you with a picture of a Christmas tree made of books, you may be entitled to compensation.

[Taco Bell Quarterly @TBQuarterly]

Your non-existent end-of-year recap is fine. Being a writer isn't about generating constant success. It's more like generating constant trash, hoping something will burn as fuel long enough to move you forward in any meaningful way. Generate trash and set it on fire.

@AustinCrockett9 Omg wut???????

[C.A. Kottmann (He/Him) @CAKottmann]

Me: “Who would the Big Bad be?”
Him: “Society.”

[C.A. Kottmann (He/Him) @CAKottmann]

Did @AustinCrockett9 and I just spend the first part of date night coming up with a hypothetical Winnie the Pooh Dungeons and Dragons campaign?

Yes.

[C.A. Kottmann (He/Him) @CAKottmann]

I win because @AustinCrockett9 would do this.

[lu @coffinvows]

me on a date: haha yeah. so how about we go back to my place and i make you read my 25-page document on my d&d character

[C.A. Kottmann (He/Him) @CAKottmann]

The constant back and forth between “Who the hell put this here?” and “Oh dip it was me,” at work AND home.

[C.A. Kottmann (He/Him) @CAKottmann]

@BNBuzz It’s also okay to stock more marginalized authors on your shelves. ❤️

@KDEdwards_NC This is the kind of content that makes me want twitter to stay afloat.
