Well, Tweeps, I’m not deleting my account, but is seems like Mastodon is a cool(er) place. If you wanna connect, I’m @mariehowalt@mastodonbooks.net on there. I’ll probably keep being most active on Indtagram, tho, where I’m @mhowalt 💙

My hot take: Although highly influential and prolific, Isaac Asimov was a jerk and I don't give a hoot about his birthday.

Now that I’m dropping by Twitter for once: An update! - Colibri Investigations book 2 is with my beta readers. - I’m lowkey working on book 3. - And (very lowkey) book 4. - Also, I just started writing a new and secret project.

Happy 100th episode to the Danish podcast #scifisnak and its brilliant hosts @4ND3RS & @jenspoder! It was so much fun to attend the live recording last night!

I can tell the weather is getting cooler from the number of cats in my bed.

Today is Cake Day; a thread: That’s what I call the anniversary of the injury that caused my chronic illness and completely changed my life 7 years ago. I decided to make treating myself to cake on this date a tradition some years back in order to not only feel upset.

And that’s great, but it’s okay to be sad and upset too. It’s okay to acknowledge that it still hurts. Those feelings are not dominant now, but it’s still important to find the space for reglecting on them. Giving yourself time to heal is important. Balance is key.

So today, I have cake, and I reflect and recharge. I take some selfcare time and do things that make me happy, like writing.

Very often in my dreams, I am or play the role of another person (a character; not anyone I know). Last night, I was a little kid whose biggest wish was to visit all the Disneylands in the world. That’s the most random in a long time. Usually there’s either a point or a story.

Wheeeeee! It’s pub day! The Stellar Snow Job is live, I am happy, and you can enable my writing habit while enjoying a bite-sized queer space opera comedy by buying my book! 💜
