This is the war between the bees and butterflies in Raven with a Rorschach. It’s got glitter, but that doesn’t show up well.

I read somewhere that when you suddenly smell flowers in a room, an angel is visiting. I smell maple syrup. What's that mean?

I was just called selfish for not wanting children. First, I'm disabled. I can only afford to eat one meal a day with what I make. A splurge for me is sometimes ordering a second meal. Second, I wouldn't magically get a pay increase to pay for diapers and toys and clothes. 🧵1/5

My mom (who abandoned my sibs and I as children) has been posting pictures of herself with a new grandbaby from a step sib. Idk this little kid and don't blame her for anything, but I feel a little jealous. And because I feel jealous, I feel pathetic.

Dating men online is weird. I finally get a match and craft a message about how I loved the artwork he was standing in front of (presumably his own) and how I was curious about his inspiration. He responded, "Head??" I might be single forever.

Someone told me they hate my book covers. It hurt my feelings until I realized that I don't care. I like my covers. If I were searching for something new to read, I would pick my books based on the covers. No offense to the authors who have the plainer covers, but that's not me.

What would the genre be for a book about a woman dealing with divorce, dating for a minute, and deciding to stay single? It would be about her learning who she is on her own and liking not having to cook and clean after someone else. Would that be Women's fiction?
