  Hello friendos, it's my birthday 🎉 It sure would mean a lot to me if some folks were to buy my books or some of my art. All my novellas are 50% off in the Smashwords Sale, so you can get yourself a bargain too: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/RubyJones6742 They are angsty and sexy and I believe fun. My Redbubble store is over here. It is full of artistic butts: https://www.redbubble.com/people/RubyJonesArt/shop #birthday #art #books #romance #butts #erotica #SmashwordsSale #Sm...

  #WordWeavers 9/7: Which of your characters would be the least likely to write a love song? I'm gonna go with Ruth. I think most characters could get silly enough in love to make the attempt, but Ruth is pretty disillusioned with love and the whole world. If she ever was a romantic, I don't think she is anymore.

  #ScribesAndMakers 3 July: We have some new people in the community. Re/Introduce yourself and tell us about your creative work. Hello, new people! I'm Ruby and I write angsty SF/F/H romance and erotica. I'm also agender and chronically ill with ME/CFS. This can make my output and engagement variable, and I really appreciate this community for helping me stay connected! I have three novellas out and am currently serialising an android romance novel on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.co...

  #WritersCoffeeClub 9 May: Share the first line of your current WIP. "Blake came to with a burning pain in his wrists and biceps." Everyone: How enticed are you?

  Love reading everyone's first lines today! It's something I think about quite a lot, whether or not it seems so to the people who weren't that into mine 😜

  #ScribesAndMakers 10/5: If your project will be part of a series, do you know that before you start? If it's writing? Rarely. I start by imagining fiercely and see where it goes. If it's art? Sometimes. But it takes me so long to make art that I don't often achieve multiples of related things.

  #WritersCoffeeClub 10/5: What wisdom do you wish you could share with your younger self? Ahhh, mate, very little. Much of it I wouldn't have listened to. Some of it I needed to go through. Some of it is just so goddamn depressing that contemplating it feels like a chasm opening up inside. And as for creative advice specifically... I don't know that it would be helpful. You need the boundless confidence of youth before you learn that nothing you write age 12 will be publishable....

  #MiniButt progress. Paint is done, and it's now a Mini Star Butt! It'll look better when the gloss sealant is on it, but it needs to dry thoroughly before I do that. #art #sculpture #bottoms #butts

  Tentatively thinking about sending Synthetic Agency to an editor friend of mine. One thing I am genuinely shit at, when it comes to selling stories, is comps. And everyone expects then these days. I'm writing the stories I don't see in the world, and I'm too sick to read as widely as I would like. I'm thinking about, like: 'It's Person of Interest meets The Bourne Identity, but with androids and a slow-burn spicy romance.' People famil...

  OK! I am going to attempt some editing... maybe.

  Good progress made, but this chapter requires a lot of new material and the small beast has started the complaint portion of the evening and I can't concentrate while she's looking for ways to cause trouble, so I'll have to leave it there.

  #WritersCoffeeClub 5 May: Have you ever taken inspiration from something which could have but didn't happen? I don't think so. It's an interesting idea, but I'm afraid my stories tend to take place in worlds a bit removed from my mundane reality.

  #WordWeavers 6 May: What writing-related challenges have you encountered recently? Sorry to be boring, but the biggest challenges that I face continue to be my physical and mental health. But you know what? It's ME/CFS Awareness Month.

  Decided to throw caution to the wind and make #MiniButt a Space Butt, so the first stage is painting it all black, and I have to say, I'm loving it so far. The black paint has dried really smooth and won't need buffing the way #ButtSculoture did. Now to let it dry before getting funky! #art #butts #sculpture

  #ScribesAndMakers 29 April: Someone else promotion day. Tell us about someone else's work. Let's boost away. I struggle with these because I read so slowly and can't give people the glowing reviews they deserve! But I can tell you that I am enjoying Dionysus in Wisconsin by @pretensesoup https://www.amazon.com/Dionysus-Wisconsin-Gothic-Book-ebook/dp/B0BZ96HWSP and The Emperor in Ochre by @EveHasWords https://chantingluretales.writeas.com/the-emperor-in-ochre

  #WordWeavers 27 April: What one thing (no matter how expensive or impractical) would make it easier for you to write more books more easily? A cure for ME/CFS. Failing that, a house I owned and enough money to live on. As Virginia Woolf said: 'a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction' and I think that applies to anyone. Virginia's point is that, historically, women have not had this, and this is why there is so much more male fiction in t...
