The timeline spans thousands of years, so I can always think about what might be happening in a different time period. I can also work on my other writing in other genres. If I don't feel up to writing, full stop, I usually get my imagination going by reading.(less)

March 16: Websites are Evil

I'm trying to become more regular about my social media posts, and Tuesday will be my blogging date for all things Hera. The good news is that Hera Book 2 is done and almost ready to be published. I've been working on trying to redo my websites, and there was a lot of drama with trying to find the right site builder. Hera herself would not blame me for looking at my webhost page and screaming 'KIL Read more of this blog post »

“I grinned. “I got a planet for my birthday. I don’t think any other birthday is going to top this.”
Mom laughed. “Wait until you start having sex, you might be surprised.”
Darinne Paciotti, Growing Up Godly

“Sorry. It’s just hard not to think of you as a category, you know? That’s the downside of leadership. You become a symbol. Which is powerful in its own right, but then people stop forgetting you’re a person and have your own needs and wants. It’s going to be hard for you to find the right man, Hera. Don’t settle. Don’t go for the guy that’s impressed with you because of who you are to other people. Go for the guy that’s impressed with who you are to him.”
Darinne Paciotti, Growing Up Godly

“I spent the entire afternoon thinking about him, the new him, the definitely not old him. The new him was sexy. The new him was naughty. The new him was… HOT. How could you date someone and have sex with them hundreds of times and then suddenly realize what it was to find them attractive?”
Darinne Paciotti, Growing Up Godly

“Latreus laughed. “You don’t care about being in trouble, Hera.”
I shrugged. “It just means you’re doing what you want to do and you got caught. If you’re smart you can learn a lesson and not get caught next time.”
“That’s not really the lesson I want you learning,” Mom said.”
Darinne Paciotti, Growing Up Godly

“I grinned. “I got a planet for my birthday. I don’t think any other birthday is going to top this.”
Mom laughed. “Wait until you start having sex, you might be surprised.”
Darinne Paciotti, Growing Up Godly

“And here I thought you were too old to play with toys.”
“You’re never too old to play with magic,” said Mom.”
Darinne Paciotti, Growing Up Godly

“Thank all gods I could soundproof my room and have a few minutes with a vibrator, but damn. I wanted to eventually be able to have sex with someone that wasn’t myself.”
Darinne Paciotti, Growing Up Godly

“You’re not made from peace and love, are you?” he asked in a growl.
“More like snails and crocodile tails,” I said. “I guess I just suck at being a little girl.”
Darinne Paciotti, Growing Up Godly
