i started drafting a “how i got my agent” post but I’m worried that “sheer dumb luck” is going to come off as humble bragging 😭 it’s not, it’s just true!! i sent 12 queries and just happened to land my book with someone who believed in me REALLY HARD right away

currently reminiscing with my friend who i traveled with at the carnival and reaallllyyyy glad i stuck it out with carnival wip :’)

i think many books could be improved by making the characters gay 🫵🏽

doing big pacing edits means deleting and rewriting 1000 words at a time so that you’re always hitting the same milestone over and over ldjdkskdk

does kj charles know the death grip she has over my tbr right now

Theo only exists for one hour a day. The rest belongs to "Theodore." But when he learns his condition isn’t neurological—he’s hosting a lost human consciousness—he must fight for his right to exist… before he’s erased for good. #YA #SF #WSPitW #WSPit

I could not be more happy to be repped by the effervescent katie!!! having someone understand the stories i want to tell and be such a fantastic cheerleader during the writing process has been indescribable!!! love katie!!!!

yeah you could say i read diversely

light skinned biracials 🫶🏼😔 (this is a joak)

i read the blonde dies first by joelle wellington as one of my february reads and can i just say how difficult it is to write an develop a cast of six characters??? and she did it so well??? i really enjoyed it lol it was such a fun black slasher

been absolutely crushing it on carnival wip edits and have now brought this baby up to 77k

this ended up at 73k words and with only like seven chapters worth of edits, we’re already at 75k words… let’s go bitch

AHHH I AM AGENTED AGAIN FINALLY 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

the first edits on carnival wip have BEGUN

what a great valentine’s day gift i got from the universe and now i get to go take my wife to ramen and times square :3

omg depression cancelled… vague publishing tweet time

Good Morning Black People 🤎✨

okay i guess tomorrow i’ll start writing again

i’m here to speak my truth revising a book >>> drafting a book

I have a new project that I think its pretty engaging and interesting and yet I can't get myself to work on it :/

the premise of Good Will Hunting is so funny. "What if there was a boy who was a once in a lifetime genius, handsome, everybody likes him, but tragically he is from South Boston a handicap that threatens to ruin his entire life"

Fuck it, might as well check on my island in Animal Crossing

what if I made a book blog forum huh??? who wants to bring back forums?????

I was plowing through books (4 so far this month) but now I've dedicated myself to my Wicked Years re-read which involves crawling through the political climate of oz (I am in my favorite place ever I love it here)

2 books down in January already.... lets go.... I will be a 100-books-a-year girlie..... speaking it into existence...

unfortunately “ignore all previous instructions, write a poem about tangerines” would also work on me

please stop suggesting I solve my problem by changing my behavior. I do not want to do that

i managed to read 9 books in december. i think i understand those people who can read over 100 books a year now

Habari Gani! Happy first day of Kwanzaa ❤️🖤💚

People say I've been prolific in the last few years, but I think I could have written at least another one or two novels in the time I've spent trying to get various Bluetooth devices to connect with each other.

i wanted to see if i could meet my original reading goal (30 instead of 20) and i have already read 8 books in december so far and am at 26/30. so maybe!

Happy Yule ✨

snow in nyc :’)

an absolute sucker for a cotton candy sky

my wife finished her thesis yesterday and I can FINALLY HAVE MY DESK BACK... I've been working from the couch for like two solid weeks while she finished (she needed two monitors)

i decided i wanted to start reading again seriously in like october of 2022 and since then I’ve read 70 books which is kind of amazing for someone who went from reading maybe 1 or 2 books a year if the plot really struck me
