@BrianHolyoke @AndrewScheer It’s called a wire service - not cut-and-paste. Canadian newspapers have been using CP since 1917.

@averillelisa Absolutely not just you. I've rushed through sections to get to the good part and then been meh about it because it's not coming across as smoothly and as utter genius as I expected.

Cover reveal: I was invited, along with a bunch of great Canadian writers, to contribute to this anthology. But you’ll have to guess which story I wrote, I’m not telling! Publishes in early 2024. #booktwt #amwriting https://t.co/ft4JhpY5kb

"It took me eleven years to write this book." (But we're so glad she did!)

We talked to @kscovert about writing "The Petting Zoos", an erotic, post-apocalyptic love story about the human need for physical connection: https://t.co/zIqvHK4iEo

My 75-year-old mother just informed me that she is going to her first "sex party" and doesn't know what to bring.

After some awkward questions, I said, "Gender reveal. You're going to a gender reveal."
