Okay so. Full disclosure, I have been in the process of moving. That means packing up, actually moving an entire house worth of furniture and knickknacks by my lonesome, and bringing everything into the new place. And of course the general routine maintenance everyone ends up doing after they move in and realize what’s wrong with the new place. So I finished this book in a single sitting while I was taking a break and then it went into a box and I still have not found it to do the pretty 𝓪𝓮𝓼𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓽𝓲𝓬 post I had been planning on. Now, onto Underground: A Novel by J. L. Hyde. Lemme just tell y’all…. If you like relatable characters? If you like a story that keeps you hooked from page 1 to the end? If you like humor and suspense? IF YOU LIKE OKLAHOMA?!?! Then PLEASE go pick up this book. And please also go give @bookandbeerreview a follow. She reviews books and other things, and I hear from a reliable source that she’s working on a sophomore project that’ll knock even this one out of the water. Overall, outstanding debut. Highly recommend. Why are you still reading this post? GO BUY THIS BOOK YESTERDAY!! #bookstagram #bookish #authorsofinstagram #authorssupportingauthors #debut (at Oxford, Mississippi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR5DQZXrUkN/?utm_medium=tumblr

A day late because I’m moving, but it’s the last day of pride 2021 in the states, so I saw it fitting to have a rant about poor representation in books and other forms of media. It’s terrible. Enjoy. Now I’m going to go crash until lunch tomorrow. #pride #bookstagram #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #podcast #dead #movingday #selfpub https://anchor.fm/j-d-morris/episodes/Why-Queer-Voices-Matter-e13mc9n (at Oxford, Mississippi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQxKW86rAnz/?utm_medium=tumblr

It is currently almost 1am and I have a full day of moving ahead of me tomorrow with no help whatsoever. And it’s late as shit as is. But now I’m about to go record/cry/rage in my car for about an hour to hopefully get the episode up for you filthy animals later today at some point. #thethingsido #writersofinstagram #writerslife #writingcommunity #podcast #pridemonth #rage #therapy #queer #blogger (at Oxford, Mississippi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQu7hm9LsWk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Welp. Got my first 1 star rating today. And bring that they didn’t leave a review telling me or other potential customers why/what they didn’t like, I can only assume it’s a troll that I’ve managed to piss off online. Oh well, who knows? Since my only other lowest rating was 3 stars, and that individual actually messaged me personally to tell me which bits they didn’t like and give critiques to help improve my writing, I’m not really that bothered by it. But I will say, just as I said on the podcast last week, if your only review is “it’s bad” and you can’t give a creator anything else to work with, maybe don’t leave a review? Can’t please everyone though. #writersofinstagram #writer #writerslife #authorsofinstagram #author #selfpub #bookish #booknerd #booknerdigans #review #podcast #writingcommunity #amazon #pridemonth #pride #linkinbio #salty #mustread #summerreading #bookofthemonth (at Oxford, Mississippi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQXgIhvrp4m/?utm_medium=tumblr

If you’d like to come hear a #selfpub gut rant about his findings and experiences, while also making a point here and there, follow the #linkinbio for the #Publishing and #Pastries podcast. It’s terrible.

New #podcast up, you guys. Late as hell, but did we honestly expect anything else from me at this point? https://anchor.fm/j-d-morris/episodes/Streamlining--Automation--and-Scammers-Oh--my-e12ees2 (at Oxford, Mississippi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP4vj8HnicM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Welp. Update. Got my shot today and honestly… Worst part about it is mild soreness at the injection site. And the fact that I have a slight fever (which is just my body’s natural reaction to any vaccine, so I was prepared for it). But umm. That fever (about 38.3C/101F) paired with the fact that I live in the American south. And our weather forecast for the week is 88F/31.1C and rainy with 99% humidity. All week…. So. I guess it’s been lovely knowing you all. But apparently the universe is trying to actually hard boil me right now. 😂😭😭 #covid_19 #vaccinationdone✔️ #johnsonandjohnson #funny #southern #eggs #humor #pride #linkinbio #hashtag #mississippi (at Oxford, Mississippi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP0EFb9HX7M/?utm_medium=tumblr

A reminder during this #PrideMonth2021 that just because you’re not a 20-something white twink who abuses the puppy dog filter on all of your photos… You still matter. Just because that’s the what the “mainstream” finds “appealing” doesn’t negate your existence. (at Oxford, Mississippi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPwI3a1HDMT/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve been trying to slowly build my professional accounts (FB, IG, Twitter).

#Advice for the day? When doing #audiobook #narration with a heavy Southern drawl? Make sure you enunciate!! Because apparently during the editing process, “bench” and “bitch” sound VERY similar 😂😂 #WritingCommunity #LinkInBio #audio #selfpub #author #funny #whoops #taketwo #letstrythisagain (at Oxford, Mississippi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPrB9CyHZqw/?utm_medium=tumblr
