#PennedPossibilities 240 — What inspired the idea for your latest WIP?

When I saw what currently happens in the US in terms of #DontSayGay and other #AntiLgbtLegislation, I felt the need to write about a generation of young #queer people who grew up with #SameSexMarriage and #ComingOut vlogs on #YouTube, who never had to look for emergency exits in gay bars in their lives before

#WordWeavers FEB-19 Which of your MCs would try online dating?

The MC of one of my WIPs, #Island, is first shown trying online dating as a gay teen in present day Florida under #DontSayGay, and is confronted with the harsh reality of such dating platforms, he's not prepared for.

#PhantastikPrompts JAN-07 Spielt Gesellschaftskritik in deinem WIP eine Rolle? Falls ja, wie hast du das einfließen lassen?

In "Island" geht es um das #DontSayGay-Gesetz von Ron #DeSantis in Florida und ähnliche in anderen US-Bundesstaaten, die sehr stark an den #HaysCode und #Section28 erinnern, mal abgesehen von den #BathroomBill|s und dem Kippen von #RoeVWade.
