Almost done with BRIDE by Ali Hazelwood and it’s sooooo good

regret to inform everyone this is a real guy who could be pope

Ok I’m being so serious right now: would any writing friends be interested in meeting up for a long weekend getaway/writing retreat/Broadway trip in NYC this summer?… Because I’m very likely going already 👀

*pterodactyl screech*

*heavy sigh* Anyway, querying authors, if an agent rescinds an offer after you request more time to consider an offer, THAT IS NOT INDUSTRY STANDARD. That is NOT a valid reason and you dodged a bullet. Yes, this happened to a friend. I am FURIOUS. #amwriting #amquerying #ammadashell

Hey so maybe When an author asks for the 2 week industry standard to inform everyone they have an offer Don’t say OOP NEVER MIND OFFER RESCINDED There’s some unprofessional shenanigans going on and I’m MAD (not about me obviously!!)

I watched the Gabby Petito Netflix doc The story is still as heartbreaking and infuriating as when we all followed along live in 2021 But did they HAVE to use AI to recreate Gabby’s voice to read her texts and letters? It’s really gross. I get the family gave permission but god

Mood

Ahhh I’m so excited about these new WIP ideas!! ✨

I got Chinese for lunch today, and??? WHAT DOES IT MEAN

People who understand IG/how to make nice aesthetics: teach me your ways 😭

My entire brand is “I support femmes’ rights and femmes’ wrongs and ESPECIALLY femmes angry kissing,” and the far right can literally do nothing about it 😌

Poké bowls make every day better 💫

Rewatching s1 of Severance and I made my whole family laugh Ricken: “My failure to break into the literary world in my 20s was devastating” Me: “Same” 😂😂😂

Does anyone have any good articles/tips on how to set up a nice aesthetic-y Scrivener doc? I think I had something bookmarked at one point but who knows where it is

I’m essentially going to have to rewrite this book which is ANNOYING but necessary

My Google Docs just crashed and erased some of my work and when I tell you I PANICKED It came back when I refreshed the page, but man. I should really transfer everything over to Word/Scrivener 😮‍💨

Man, I love listening to writing podcasts. Sometimes they make me feel so smart, because I’m definitely doing the things they talk about, but sometimes… I feel like I know nothing 😂

SCREAMING!!

I would like to see it tbh

The free speech king; it's a crime for you to say who's working for me while we dismantle the government.

Idk where this February 5 protest stuff came from but I am Suspicious Seems like a good plan to round people up Stay safe y’all

TOMORROW: We’re rallying at the Treasury building with @moveon.org to stop Elon Musk’s hostile takeover and tell this unelected billionaire to get his hands off our money. We hope you can join us if you’re in the D.C. area.

Leaning into the autocratic/theocratic aspects of my WIP in this revision and it doesn’t even seem that far fetched anymore thanks to *gestures at the state of the country*

It’s the Year of the Snake, so a perfect time for someone to buy my Medusa book 😈 🐍

Well, this isn’t terrifying at ALL 🥲

Gorgeous day to sit outside and work on revisions! ☀️ 💻

What fresh hell is this AI monstrosity I—

It’s the Year of the Snake, so a perfect time for someone to buy my Medusa book 😈 🐍

If you don't want to read kidlit, fine! Don't! No one is forcing you! You aren't better or smarter than someone else just because you don't want to read YA as an adult. Kidlit isn't the literary equivalent of junk food, and frankly anyone arguing that is adding fuel to book bans.

4 chapters of 25 read and notes taken for my first revision of vampire WIP! I haven’t revised a first draft in a MINUTE, but I think it’s going pretty well

Tonight’s manuscript read through catch: “The horses whinnying and tossing their names” Names??? 😂

It’s so wild to think about how long I was querying, sometimes (8.5 years, 5 books)

I love my agent. I write a horrifying scene and her notes are to make it worse 😂😈 (Yes, I am just now reading notes on my first 3 chapters she sent me in July. Jamie, if you see this, no you didn’t)

Good

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this. Smashed records. Curtesy of Garrett Roberts.

One of the best parts of an awesome article 😂
