I’d love to interview someone who does game design/storytelling for my literary YouTube show. If you have a friend, or if you are the friend, please DM me!

Almost quit mine today but I have too many cats to feed 😭

I can’t explain how much seeing these books makes me want to be a writer.

Great plan

Title: "The Haters" panel 1. Two round characters sit in a cinema. Yellow blob "I hate this!" Red Blob "Me too!" Panel 2. They have left the cinema Red blob "I hated every minute of that film! It was nothing like the book!" Panel 3. "Did you like the book?" asks Yellow. Red replies "I hated it!" then asks "You?" Panel 4. Yellow blob "I've not read it. I hated the film purely on its own merits." Panel 5. Red blob "I'll lend you my copy." Yello blob"That's very kind." Panel 6. Caption: "Later" Yellow, reading the book "I hate this!" Red (happily) "I knew you would!!"

I’m glad you had a good time!

i have decided to write, for secret reasons

Me too. Fucking sucks.

Back to reality after five days by the sea.

I also got a copy of TBQ!

That part

Recently lost around 20 pounds and bumped into a relative who decided it would be a good time to call other family members and tell them how much better I look. I hate this timeline.

Glad you’re okay!!! 💕

Imagine pulling the pepperoni out of that little hole one by one

Let’s see pics!

Don’t worry! Everyone else is doing the same thing!

I write shapeshifter romance so I’m not the target demographic for this post, but I really struggle with the cat-as-a-detective trend in cozy mysteries right now.

It was so nice to feel so inspired.

Be safe 😭

I LIVE for Nick Gallo

It’s just really hard to hate the OKC Thunder when they have their own class pet Nick Gallo

Aw

Wait this cover is so cute

Bryant knows what is up.

I don’t have a welcome mat.

That’s how you get vampires.

I’m not trying to deal with all that.

If you’re asked to do a panel with @sophiestern.bsky.social and @shanders.bsky.social, you are lucky indeed. #AWP #AWP26

Thank you so much for accepting!!!!! It was such a good vibe.
