Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS ββ¦And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.β from the documentary βElizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.β

Waiting for this oblivion drop is actually making me itchy
What if they also announce es6 right after
What if the remaster comes out right after the stream
Helpppppp
canβt decide whether getting a rejection on a query on the same day you send it is soul crushing or, like, kind of a relief because at least youβre not waiting for 3 months?? when I settle on a feeling Iβll let you know
New post for the weekend! If youβre struggling to survive the querying trenches, give this a read and subscribe for more π
Let me know below any tips youβve found that have helped you survive the query process, or traditional publishing in general π

okay so I actually knew this because Iβve written copious amounts of fanfic in my life, but WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME WRITING ROMANCE WAS SO FUN?? hello?????? diabolical. why have I written 5k words in one night. jail. jail for a thousand years

when you look into the void of the query trenches, the void looks back, and next thing you know you're making a Substack account. please don't hunt me down I didn't mean for that to rhyme

Put my notebook down for a second in the middle of writing and Nyx has decided Iβm not allowed to write any more today
"I used AI to make a Studio Ghibl-"
opened my querying-only email so i could log a previous rejection in my spreadsheet
found a brand new rejection
be gay do write
Literallyyyyyy like tell me why Iβve googled it multiple times over the last few days as if something was going to magically appearβ¦
Thank you so much and good luck to you as well!
is anyone else biting themselves while waiting for the andromeda award long list to come out tomorrow?
I canβt find anywhere if itβs still happening or been postponed or something but Iβm NERVOUS
statistically OBVIOUSLY I know Iβm not going to get a query response every day, so explain to me WHY my heart still beats out of my chest every evening when I check my emails?? #amquerying
the way Iβve been replaying lady gagas perfect celebrity on a loop all dayβ¦.. how does she always know to release an album when life is falling apart. And not a single miss. How does she do that
Get in writers, weβre manifesting β¨offer emailsβ¨

Oh wow look the first commercially available home assistant robot.
And it looks absolutely HAUNTING.
putting tonic water in my cranberry juice to feel something on a monday evening
thinking about how my department might be laying people off soon (lol. lmao even) and the way Iβve decided to deal with this is to believe that if I do get fired, that just means my novel is about to get picked up by an agent, because that will balance the universe. Iβm totally normal why do you ask
petite bourgeoisie is when someone owns the means of production but theyβre just so cute about it so itβs okay
To summarise, quoting Trotsky: βThere are no exceptions to this rule β fascism comes only when the working class shows complete incapacity to take into its own hands the fate of society.β
There has to be a seizure of power by the working class in retaliation to Trump - or fascism is next.
