    "Being a girlfriend is similar to joining the Franciscans or the Freemasons."

    Reality I never want to leave your mind.

  • Women writing gay men

    So, a long time ago, like pre- Goodreads getting bought by Amazon. I was in a group and it was brought up that gay romance is mostly written by women to be consumed by women. And that it can be fetishizing of gay men.

    So a) what are your thoughts on this twist of the trope of men writing women.

    And b) recommend your favorite MALE authors who write M/M romance books.

    Mine favorite is TJ Klune. If you want something smuttier written by him try the Tales from Verania series.

    Thoughts from 4% (End of Ch2)

    Ahh so far I'm not loving this writing style. There a lot of instances of two (or more) back to back sentences that are just two ways of saying the exact same thing. The first two chapters were already only 10 pages in the ebook and I feel like if you got rid of all the repetitive sentences, you'd be left maybe 6 pages.

    Its a shame cause I loved I'm Glad My Mom Died, but fiction is a different beast than memoirs.

    Hopefully the writing improves or I can adapt to it soon.
