Hello dear reader, I’m Ruby and I’m so excited to share my stories with you. I’ve been writing stories since forever. My first was about a magical talking cat who had these crazy adventures. My stories don’t have talking cats anymore, but I still love an adventure.

When I was in college, I courted this amazing girl in college by dragging her on these crazy hikes through the woods on the edge of campus. Climbing over logs was really just an excuse to have to hold her hand and help her over obstacles. More than ten years later we recently celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary and the crazy adventures have just kept getting bigger and better.

We live in a little white house surrounded by trees, filled with cats, wool, and loose leaf tea. My p

Writers block tends to come in the form of 'don't know what's going to happen next'. With a good outline you'll know what's supposed to happen and where the conversation is going so you're not groping blindly in the dark.

Even for my short stories I have at least a good page of outline for the ones that get finished. Don't hesitate to write down snippets of dialog as they come to you. That stuff is gold and you WILL forget it if you don't write it down.

Also have fun. If you're enjoying your story it's much easier. If you hate your story, that might mean it's time to take a critical look at it. If it's not compelling even to you as a writer, you've got something wrong in the story. Tear it apart and rebuild it. But save the good bones.(less)

Rita Mae Brown
“The only queer people are those who don't love anybody.”
Rita Mae Brown

“Cut the ending. Revise the script. The man of her dreams is a girl.”
Julie Anne Peters, Keeping You a Secret

Rachel Maddow
“The single best thing about coming out of the closet is that nobody can insult you by telling you what you've just told them.”
Rachel Maddow

Nancy Garden
“There’s a Greek legend—no, it’s in something Plato wrote—about how true lovers are really two halves of the same person. It says that people wander around searching for their other half, and when they find him or her, they are finally whole and perfect. The thing that gets me is that the story says that originally all people were really pairs of people, joined back to back, and that some of the pairs were man and man, some woman and woman, and others man and woman. What happened was that all of these double people went to war with the gods, and the gods, to punish them, split them all in two. That’s why some lovers are heterosexual and some are homosexual, female and female, or male and male.”
Nancy Garden, Annie on My Mind

Dustin Lance Black
“If Harvey had not been taken from us 30 years ago, I think he would want me to say to all the gay and lesbian kids out there tonight who have been told they are less than by the churches, by the government, by their families, that you are beautiful, wonderful creatures of value, and that no matter what anyone tells you, God does love you and that very soon, I promise you, you will have equal rights, federally, across this great nation of ours.”
Dustin Lance Black
