Meta has something like 70,000 employees and it is nigh impossible to reach one of them to receive help on fraud accounts or hacking. Not just creators, but agents, publishers. We have contacts, they ghost or disappear. Clients with millions of followers, doesn't matter. Disgraceful.

The hardest thing about deleting social media apps (yes, to hop on at 3:38am because sleeping is overrated) is not being able to shout about all the amazing books coming out from my amazing clients.

I'm glad he tried. That's what I asked my kid and assumed would happen, but... it didn't? So... what am I supposed to do to my kid who feels badly after watching?

He said his friends didn't even know what ADHD was so he's also upset because now they think it's a bad thing, something we have worked hard to overcome. Again, I haven't seen, but I'm not sure it even matters, if this is how it's received by a 10 year old boy with ADHD.

My son saw the Dog Man movie last night and today told me that he felt really sad because the villain was called ADHD. I haven't seen the movie, but if the targeted audience who has ADHD comes home upset because a movie portrays something that's part of him as a 'villain', that doesn't sit well...

Just started THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS by @vajra.me on a plane. People ask me all the time how to hook an agent on a first page and this is a masterclass. Look at the first two lines… We are given tone, magic, world build, questions. The use of β€˜therapy’ grounds us after a first line of magic.
