One of many problems with burnout is you can get severely burned out before you know it's happening. We're trying to identify the early warning signs! If you've experienced burnout, you can complete our confidential survey. Help us by sharing this post! mquni.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I drove by this in Eastern Washington and I had to go back and find it on street view to stare deeply: are those palm trees fake, or real??

I felt so bad about the gold, I gave most of it to the village at the foot of my mountain. BUT, one of the kids pulled me aside afterwards and asked if I wanted to know a secret (of course, I'm a dragon) -- and she showed me the 'secret' beach. Now we look for cool rocks to sleep on every day!

My favorite tea shop is in a tight spot but I know a great community of nerds that might be able to help out though :D Love from Bellinghamlet to the Emerald City, here's hoping we can keep Friday Tea's doors open for everyone!

I'm open to queries again! Link is here under my bio (which needs updating): knightagency.net/submissions/

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Please buy my book.

not now, sweetie, mommy’s refreshing the Tesla stock price

HOW TO IDENTIFY BEARS IN THE WILD: 1. know what a bear looks like 2. go back to step 1, it's more difficult than you think it is

Hey all HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! Also HAPPY PRIDE!!! If you want to combine celebrating me and pride month, hey, what a coincidence, you can buy 4 years of WE'RE HERE: THE YEAR'S BEST QUEER SPECULATIVE FICTION www.neonhemlock.com/books/were-h... www.neonhemlock.com/books/were-h...

While I'm between day jobs, I've been offering story critique services. I still have a few openings left this month. If you're interested, please send me a message! atgreenblatt.com/short-story-...

reminder, bsky has a clever way to display pronouns that's built in! but you only see them if you yourself opt in, so please feel free to here by subscribing and then choosing which applies!! @pronouns.diy

DAW wants to with you a happy Pride Month 🌈 Here are some reads that are bursting with LGBTQIA+ representation that you need in your life right now! From cozy eldritch horrors to a fantasy road trip to dragon romance, we’ve got it all! ✨

There's a labeled container in my mother's freezer that, on first glance, I was sure said: "Hay Must Rise" Turns out, it's actually "Honey Must.[ard] Rice" But still, can't you hear the chant in your head? THE HAY MUST RISE!

Locus fundraiser needs help! 4 days left and only 45% to their goal. They do incredible work spotlighting emerging writers of all backgrounds; it's quality work but it costs money to put out. It would be a shame if they had to cut back b/c they can't afford it. www.indiegogo.com/projects/loc...

Can confirm, this book totally lands the duology!

Thanks to @pematson.bsky.social for putting together this awesome press release for #ArvCon2025 -- please share widely! :D www.rascal.news/arvcon-2025-...

Past me: *drips berry water flavoring on her hand* Present me: Oh, god, when did I burn my hand, the skin is angry red!!

Finally remembered I heard a story on NPR's Wait Wait I wanted to share with @lukemckay.bsky.social--seems pertinent to do it while he's running the squirrelcam! www.townandcountrymag.com/society/trad...

Comment time!

I feel very evil queen when I put out ant bait. Yes...yes...eat it, little ones...it's tasty...

It's at times like these when you need to lean into the core of your national character.

Bind th Herbs to Bring the Shift, by R.Z. Held in Beneath Ceaseless Skies. There is a part of my soul that was built on a foundation of Tanora Pierce's books, and this warmed it like a hearth. Shapeshifters and magic and rebellious teens. www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/bind...

Twice-Marked, Wild Against City, by R.Z. Held in Beneath Ceaseless Skies. What a delightfully inventive magic system, where fey spirits work through human intermediaries using marks. I love the hints that the world is actually (redacted).

I hope @erinmevans.bsky.social's birthday was this good!

May is Wildfire Awareness Month. We have wildfires. Now you are aware.

A MONTH LATER...It's my birthday and that feels like a reasonable time to follow up on this. Because I want to. So if it's self-indulgent, GOOD. 🧵 Here's the backstory: The Books of the Usurper is published in the UK/Aus as an ebook through my agency for byzantine publishing reasons.

@erinmevans.bsky.social Happiest of birthdays!! May today be filled with friends, fun and food!! And a billion people buying your books! Because they are awesome, as are you!!

God, I feel so ranty right now. I'm watching Million Dollar Secret which is Netflix-brand generic The TraitorsTM and they just voted off this sweet nerdy young woman because she got caught in a crying spiral--

Today is the last day for Nebula Award voting! SFWA members, don't forget to go and vote for what you loved!!! www.sfwa.org/forum/ballots/

Support your local indie bookstore this weekend! They have lots of events, discounts, signings, free stuff, all sorts of things happening. @indiebound.bsky.social has a great search tool to see who is participating in your area: www.indiebound.org/independent-...

I'm finishing up an editing project today and then my queue is clear. If you've got a story or book you're interested in getting a developmental edit for, now's a good time to talk to me. I also do query letter and synopsis feedback. www.catrambo.com/service-cate...
