Found someone! Woot!

Long shot but what the heck: Are there any experienced copyeditors out there with availability mid-April, early May who are ALSO authors and would like to barter? I offer book marketing coaching services on Reedsy and could send you my listing for deets if you're interested!

Congrats on the TV thing!! Yes healthcare would be lovely!!

No matter how many times people try to explain it to me, I don't understand how screenwriters can have a union and authors can't.

Today in the NASA gift shop at the Kennedy Space Center they were playing music from Mass Effect and I nerded out SO HARD.

Only a niche segment of Bluesky will appreciate this but that’s okay!!!

I think Pedro Pascal should be randomly dancing in the background of more things, just, in general. 🤣🤣

If Hillary Clinton is the one who takes down Trump over EMAILS it not only confirms to me that we're living in a simulation but also that the programmers have mapped out AN ENTIRE NARRATIVE ARC for us complete with foreshadowing and irony!!!

Art is the heart of humanity
Art is inspiration
Art is joy
Art is rejuvenation
Art is hope
Art is resistance

Stop telling artists and authors to stop doing our jobs. We are essential.

THE FIRST 3,600 WORDS OF THIS NEW BOOK I'M WRITING NOW EXIST

THE FIRST 1,300 WORDS OF THIS NEXT BOOK I'M WRITING NOW EXIST

Playing Animal Crossing again after five years is weirdly unsettling. Like oh RIGHT I found that fossil on March 25, 2020, when I was terrified I might drown in my own lungs, was horrifically low on toilet paper, and was disinfecting bags of Doritos from the grocery store lmao ✨memories✨

I always think my level of burnout and overwhelm will get better once I complete XYZ task or hit ABC milestone, but it NEVER FREAKING DOES. Why don't I learn? It's not about what's on my plate at any moment. It's my inability to say "no." It's social media. It's society's hustle culture. It's ACK.

Trying to get anything normal done right now

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

PSA: If you try to spam me with your author service on WhatsApp I will block you so fast you won't even remember I exist.

Publishing: "it's December nothing's happening we're basically closed weeeeeee"

Me: "IT'S SLOW IN DECEMBER SO IT'S THE PERFECT TIME TO REBRAND ALL OF MY MARKETING AND BUILD AN INFRASTRUCTURE TO LET ME SCALE BOTH MY AUTHOR AND FREELANCE BUSINESSES WOOOOOOOOO"

My ENTIRE Spotify Wrapped is Taylor Swift and the score to the video game Expedition 33 and I apologize to no one

I've STILL been listening to it on loop while I work, it's incredible.

Please come to North America, and if you do please come to Boston and/or New York and/or both pleaaaaaaaaase 🥺🫶

FINALLY was able to log into The Game Awards site to vote for Expedition 33. I was about to RIOT if I couldn't. If it doesn't win both Game of the Year and Best Score & Music I WILL STILL RIOT. This game should freaking SWEEP. @expedition33.bsky.social GOOD LUCK!

I’m losing my mind that we didn’t do this in the US, honestly 😭

😭😭😭

Just found out the Polish publisher of my book Under the Surface is sending influencers early copies IN BOXES OF ACTUAL DIRT TO REPRESENT HOW THE CHARACTERS ARE MISSING UNDERGROUND IN THE PARIS CATACOMBS

Iiiiiiit’s my birthday! In some ways this year was rough, BUT I wrote a new novel, got to see JAPAN, and started a business that’s already generating steady income. So hey, not too shabby! And next year should be interesting… 🤐😜

It truly is 😭🥰

This Polish bookstagrammer took the book I wrote (translated!) about four teens who go missing in the Paris Catacombs and COSPLAYED AS THE CHARACTERS IN THE CATACOMBS!!! PEAK AUTHOR MOMENT, I AM DECEASED THIS IS MY GHOST 👻

*sitting here holding off freaking out about the show to try to figure out what the heck "url krogan n7" means*

HAPPY N7 DAY TO EVERYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT IS!!!

...

I should go

I HAVE PASSED AWAY, THIS IS MY GHOST 👻

Girls be like “I needed this” and it's just gerrymandering revenge
