Therapist: What makes you anxious?

Me: People reading my book.

Therapist: And what makes you happy?

Me: People reading my book.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening

historians: that thing is definitely happening

star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it

news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Gandalf from the animated lord of the rings, wearing a grey robe, and a blue wizard's hat while he raises his hands in conjuring something up and the image is captioned "ooooooo self-doubt and self-loathing are over oooooo you're capable and worthy and sexy ooooooo"

Good morning✌️🍀

me: writing is my place of comfort.

me: I am going to write a book that is so discomforting...

When is it "no response no" and when is it a rejection? Tune in to find out!

#newdeal #booksky

It's been a long week.

Rest here, weary writer and artist.

You deserve it.

We’ve been on quite the submission journey with this one, but it makes this deal so much more worth it. 🫶🏽

Jozette was the second client I signed as a #literaryagent and my first romance author. I fell head over heels with this witty banter and this swoony Greek summer romance, I hope you will too!✨

Crayon message saying "I <3 the Library" in large bubble letters.

Spotted today at Severna Park Library. 😍

It’s February! Kiss a romance writer!

Libraries are the best. I just placed holds on 17 books of crochet patterns and stitches 😌

This is your reminder that libraries are a great place to find resources for hobbies - some even have beginner kits (like yarn, needles/hooks) you can take out to get started!

Lavar Burton holds up a book called “There has never been a time when the people who’ve banned books were the good guys.” There is a cat sitting in a chair reading a book with a cup of tea

If you're looking for a place to do some work, the public library is like a coffeeshop where you don't need to buy anything and there's a lot more space and you can stay as long as you like and you don't get any coffee.

Shoutout to my library, and all libraries. #booksky #readbannedbooks

Think early 2000s era rom-com with an American in Europe (What a Girl Wants, Princess Diaries, etc.) 🧚‍♂️💫✨

As best you can, ignore him.

Here’s a common scam going around that you should know about: Sometimes cats will meow at you like they haven’t been fed, but in fact someone DID feed them, and they’re just trying to get fed again- stay alert! 🚨

Reading can help alleviate some of your existential dread.
