Also, am working on a few projects that I may try to get published through some smaller presses in the near future :)

[C.J. Coleman @cjcolemanwrites]

Have some narrative nonfiction concerning consent in the works since there seems to be an epidemic of men continuing to not understand that anything besides yes means no.

My personal essay, MY BRAIN WANTS TO KILL ME, was published in Her Stry, the lit mag, today! It talks about my struggle with OCD and tries to help de-stigmatize it. I also think it’s kind of funny but that’s for you to decide.

Say hi to Gabriel, an absolute golden retriever & the love interest in my young adult urban fantasy about an SA survivor who is gifted with elemental magic and must decide whether she will seek revenge or use her powers to save the world.

What should I read next?

What is with all the spam bots recently?

Idk dude if you’re not bi or ace you don’t get to determine whether we’re queer or not being with someone of a different gender doesn’t make you any less queer and the fact it bothers so many ppl is very disturbing

I do *not* want an AI "summary" of an email, or a book, or a life. I do not want an AI summary of a winter sky, or my father's hands, or the hope in my child's eyes. I do not want an AI summary of the human heart, or the first little shiver of lust, or the long good work of love.

[C.J. Coleman @cjcolemanwrites]

@lauren_bieker @BaileyKnaub Are you interested in YA horror or just adult? Thanks!

[C.J. Coleman @cjcolemanwrites]

@sanchez_m_m YA is literally adult now. There’s barely such a thing anymore.

[C.J. Coleman @cjcolemanwrites]

You have bewitched me body and soul and I will not be able to do anything.

[Amanda Dodge @manda_dodge]

You have bewitched me body and soul and I was just curious about what you think 🤔

🤣

[C.J. Coleman @cjcolemanwrites]

Had an epiphany about my story 🔥 I’ve found that joy again
