Just popping back in after 10 million yrs to say, yes I still live. Just stepped back from this platform as it was never my fav & I have Issues with how Issues are handled here. Catch me more on the Book of Faces (+ on the other blue hellsite as ThemsWritinWords & DeadMomJokes)

I want the same energy that Tchaikovsky had when he said "screw it. I'm putting a cannon in this orchestra."

Also, have I read it so many times I almost threw it in the trash twice today alone? Yes. Am I still sure on a spiritual level that there's typos and formatting errors I missed? Also yes. #writing #amquerying #writingCommunity

So who was gonna tell me that sending your 1st full is terrifying & no matter how long you spend agonizing over something u used to be sure was ready 2 go, ur still gonna 2nd-guess everything til you have to just give up n hit upload while screaming? #amquerying #WritingCommunity

Sometimes you query for months w/ no luck & you think you must actually suck @ writing. Then sometimes you get your first full request < 12 hours after sending the query. 🎵That's me in the corner that's me in the spotlight crying like a baby🎵🥲 #amquerying #WritingCommunity

Pros of dog bathing job: Money, dogs, lots of time to think Cons: truly impossible to write down said thoughts (which are gone as soon as you get time in the evenings), wet All The Time, somehow still have dog hair on you even after showering

Writer math is when you plan an entire wip around one niche scene you had in a vision that won’t occur until the final act of the book

Ain't had conjunctivitis for literally 2 decades, but 3 weeks into preschool my child brings it home and now *I* can't see out of one eye. Meanwhile two doses of eyedrops and she's fine (which is great!) but I now have to do oral antibiotics about it. -_- #parentlife amirite?

When an author you admire tells you that the query letter you've been agonizing over to the point of nearly giving up is one of the strongest they've ever read, your pages are great, and your story sounds fantastic (all caps) & intriguing 😭😭😭 #WritingCommmunity #amquerying

Am I sharing this just to get more entries? ... Maybe. (Yes.) But also, I figured some folks in the #WritingCommunity might be interested. So do with it what you will! Enter to win an All-Day Writing Coach Session kingsumo.com/g/wq0b2h/spend…

Idk what I created in that yogurt maker, but it was NOT yogurt. Whatever happened in there was horrifying, both for the poor bacteria who clearly lost a vicious war with their more monstrous cousins, and for me, the idiot who (thankfully?) taste tested it.🤢 #kitchenfail #cooking

Them: Oh, what kind of book? Me: *mumbles* Them: Pardon? Me: Horror romcom. Them: H-horror...? Me: Romcom, yes. Horror romcom. Them: ... ... That's... ... Interesting. :) :) :) I'm just gonna stop telling people I write, the polite 'wtf is wrong w/ you' looks give me anxiety😭

To be clear, I'm not opposed to the concept of AI or learning models in general. But I am massively against the way they're being made/trained (THEFT), the people they're run by, & the way ppl are trying to use it to put creatives (ME!) out of work. #AI #writing #creativework

Didn't think I was popular enough to have to say this, but: Writing AI (or any AI) accounts trying to follow me or interact with my stuff are getting BLOCKED ON SIGHT. #writing #writingCommmunity

Might have to kick my dyspraxic butt into gear and learn to draw at the ripe old age of 30 just so I can draw the little comics and "shows" my 4-year-old is making up. She's got some real bangers.

If anyone needs me, I'll be poring over the mercurial, possibly-nonexistent differences b/t YA, NA, & Adult as applied to speculative fiction. Nobody has solid answers on target ages in genre fic and as a querying writer I'm both confused & MAD. #WritingCommunity #amquerying

I'm not where I necessarily dreamed of being, but I'm also not where I feared I would end up. And even with all its accompanying nonsense, the life I have is pretty sweet. 30 yrs down, here's to 30+ more full of adventures that will totally knock my socks off #birthday #life

We started bath early, & she still just barely fell asleep at 8:30. I genuinely have no idea how she did it. That was *14 hours* awake, and not one of them was spent peacefully. It seems she is *not* ready to lose the nap after all.😅 #momfail #parenting
