looking ahead to my holiday reading, here’s a quick #mswl: - family dramas with a romantic subplot (non-xmas the family stone!) - lit fic that explores sexuality, relationships (give me a bisexual protagonist pls!) - romantic thriller, romantic sci fi - genre mash ups!! #amquerying #romancelandia

I'm actively looking for some new Indigenous horror authors (my biggest #MSWL item at the moment)! If you want to send me a query and you're an Indigenous horror writer, mention you saw my post on bluesky so I can flag your query. Info on how to query here: www.psliterary.com/submissions/

It’s not hoarding if it’s books. It’s building a personal library.

Trying to read more books in light of the reality we are living in. Just finished Tomorrow and Tomorrow andTomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. Great book.

Cher is releasing multiple memoirS (or a memoir in multiple parts, which is the same thing for our purposes). Cher is a megastar and has been in the public eye for over 50 years. It's not just that she's amassed many stories, it's that people have been interested/fascinated by her for decades...

If you’re writing “your memoirs”, you’re making a huge mistake. #memoir #memoirwriting #writersky

DJ Khaled voice: Another one! But seriously, we're seeing a lot more of these. And this one is huge. Seems we're at the "find out" stage of the equation with our industrial food system. 😬 www.npr.org/2024/11/17/n...

Don’t like a book? Don’t read it. Pretty simple.

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

This is Meatball. He's going home for the very first time. So excited to have a human of his own. Thinking about what he's going to call you. Maybe Bob. 12/10

Breath of Fire is OK (I’m partway through episode 3), but does a bad job explaining kundalini in Hinduism. The Yogi Bhajan/Guru Jagat “Kundalini” is a mishmash, though he tried to pass off what he was doing as rooted in Sikhism. The docuseries covers that part well (has a Sikhism expert in it).

You’re writing *a memoir*, not “your memoirs”. Let this distinction/correction unburden you from thinking you have to tell your whole life story, or even all the highlights & lowlights. Tell one story. That’s what a memoir is. One, complete, novel-like & “novel-length” story. #memoirwriting
