Fruiting Bodies: Stories by Kathryn Harlan. So far *so* good.

Don't let the man get you down. You are doing good work out here!

I'm starting work on a new speculative fiction novel. Should I pants it or plot it? PANTS OR PLOT!?

Last time the first draft was practically written by my pants. Should I switch it up?

Jesse Plemons's performance was unforgettable!

Such a great film for discussion!!

The conspiracy theory speech delivered by Stone was a masterpiece.

So far I've only seen Bugonia and Poor Things. Also ready to binge. Lucky me :)

Thoughts?!

Does #Bugonia (2025) follow the Save the Cat! story structure beats? We explore the new film starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons on the Write Your Heart Out #podcast this week.

I had so much fun reviewing #ACOTAR with Rachel on the pod the other day. Rachel imagined Tamlin in a bunny mask the whole time she was reading it! We also talk about how Louis CK and Mr. Beast are authors now...? 🤭

Gen Z doesn't say "weed"? The term "weed" is cringe? Do they say "cannabis"? That's so dreamy! #GenZ, #GenZSky, #Zoomers #wordnerd #vocabulary

I had a thoughtfully written rejection from an agent yesterday and I REALLY wanted to ask her what specifically was lacking in my manuscript. I didn't want to annoy her so I responded thanking her for taking the time to consider my work.

Your feelings about rejecting submissions are surprising!

I think @jsinsheim.bsky.social is a good writer! Damn.

This is so funny! Love the voice.

Thank you!
My novel is set in Vancouver - I love it there. Is your work set in Canada?

Yikes! They won't go far...

This is such a great concept!

I needed this.

I love the title!

I used the word "vibes" in a query letter and hit send and now I want to crawl under my house. #amquerying

A dream!

Holy shit this looks terrifying!!!

Tore through Sayaka Murata's new book Vanishing World. I'm so inspired by the way Murata dismantles ingrained conventions and brings us into a topsy turvy world that feels so believable. Wondering which convention I can play with in short story form...
