Morning all.
Fighting with final clean up and shit on #SaferSexBook . If I don't screw anything up, it'll be available for pre-order by Sunday.
Then I get to relax and not worry about deadlines for six months or so. If all goes well #PolyamNKink will be out in about 18 months. God knows on my next fiction novel, but hopefully in the next year or two.
Anyway, #SaferSexBook will be out next Thursday (finally!)
A bunch of stuff you never thought you needed to know about safer sex in non-monogamous relationships, plus all the stuff about STIs you should know already but probably don't.
Picking a publication date for #SaferSexBook. I decided to go with the Thursday closest to Feb 15th. (I like Thursdays for publishing, don't ask me why.)
Then I looked at the calendar...
Well, hell. It wouldn't be any kind of traditional Valentine's Day present, but it sure would show you care.
More editing in #SaferSexBook , and dear God there is NOTHING in this book that gets under my skin more than CDC webpages on Tuskegee.
Bad enough that Tuskegee happened, but anyone who is actually familiar with Tuskegee will easily find the dozens of ways the CDC is still, today, trying to downplay that atrocity.
And it isn't surprising, but it never ceases t obe infuriating.
So, I saw someone do this on birbsite and liked it.
Things I accomplished in 2018:
*I got dx as #actuallyautistic
*I identified and started getting treatment for 3 unknown problems that were disabling me.
*I got my kid through another year of cyber school
*I figured out who I want to be
*I finished writing #SaferSexBook (almost done editing#)
*I figured out my major life goals and how to start working toward them.
*I finally found a way to regularly spend time with fam in Bostom #polyamory
Somewhat to my surprise, there are actually some icons designed as symbols for safer sex.
No at all to my surprise, they are all referencing penises.
My pattern of book covers that depict the subject matter is definitely biting me on the ass with this one.
Finally got past my block on the emotional safety and self care section of #safersexbook
Took long enough, but what came out is solid.
Morning all.
Finally think I'm starting to get a handle on my identity crisis-thing. Or at least enough of a grip to not feel like I'm lost in a void.
For this morning, I'm getting more work done on the #safersexbook Then we'll see how the day goes.
How you doing?
