A weird thing about being a romance author on twitter is that you develop pretty good creep radar, because you& #39;re kind of a safe target for people who want to say creepy things about sex to a stranger without getting in trouble.

Because talking about sex is our JOB, right?

And sometimes they& #39;re not even saying it to us, but the way they talk about sexual content in books/romances is just so SUPREMELY weird and not okay, and after a decade of being online & especially having written erotic content... I& #39;ve been lightly sexually harassed SO MUCH.

And honestly a big reason why I am not talking about the sexual content in my books on twitter as much is that the last 3 years have been a raw trigger nightmare in the news & I couldn& #39;t handle strangers constantly assuming they got to say wildly sexual shit to me 24/7.

But it definitely did help me develop a pretty keen sense for red flags. In a very depressing way. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😣" title="Standhaftes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Standhaftes Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😔" title="Nachdenkliches Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Nachdenkliches Gesicht">
