I'm speechless actually

Agents and editors are gonna post on that hashtag across socials (tho mostly Bluesky) about their manuscript wish lists. You can search here or on the mswl website. Some are even opening for today specially. 😍

IT'S MSWL DAY!

I spent the day reading something incredible (it's a beta read - sorry you can't have it lol) and doing laundry and having girl scout cookies.

So highly recommend. I feel refreshed. I am new again.✨

They ACTUALLY hung it in the Louvre! Incredible. 10/10 no notes

UNFAIR

I cannot handle more snow on an emotional level and they keep upping the totals.

Please 😭 I can't

Oh no. The situation must be remedied ASAP

Who else is watching the America's Next Top Model documentary? I'm halfway in, I'll have to finish it tonight. Absolutely wild.

First of all, why do they keep hammering home that it was all twenty years ago? 😭 It's rude

It's children who will suffer over this btw. Children.
We had those warnings for a reason.

I have entered the (tk add details here) portion of drafting 😅

Right?! I'm convinced the devout ai fans are training themselves to never think

I used to laugh when people said, "I have a book idea you should write."

At all times I have loglines, half plots, pitches, and titles on deck. I keep a notebook of them. Ideas aren't the hard part.

But apparently even that stumps the ai bros 😂

Today I heard my MIL mid conversation say, "I was watching TV and that Ilya what's his name..."

And I said, "Ilya and Shane?"

And she said, "The Olympic figure skater?"

And that's when I realized I made a mistake 😅

Wrong. You know nothing about that kid's medical situation. You aren't her pediatrician.
I don't know if you were bullied for being a fat kid or what your hang up is. But it has turned you into a dick as an adult making assumptions about a six year old child. I encourage you to be better.

This is how I find out there's a season two?!

My favorite part of this is that the kid's name is Pim. Adorable

Are you honestly body shaming a 6 year old right now?

EXTRA INNINGS EDITOR GUIDE

Matthew Beckett was Rollins High’s golden boy—baseball MVP, town favorite, and completely unprepared for what he felt for Owen Hart. Owen was quiet, brilliant, and saw Matt more clearly than anyone ever had. Then an injury in the minor leagues ended Matt’s shot at going pro, and whatever future he’d imagined for himself slipped out of reach. Fifteen years later, Matt is back in Rollins, coaching varsity baseball and barely keeping his footing as a high school history teacher. Owen never left. He’s built a steady, satisfying life as a beloved English teacher—out, confident, and deeply rooted in the community. The last thing he needs is Matt Beckett back in town. When the principal asks Owen to mentor him, old instincts return with dangerous ease. What begins as professionalism gives way to late nights, shared glances, and a physical connection neither of them can pretend isn’t happening. Matt is everything Owen remembers—driven, magnetic, and still standing at the edge of something Owen once let go. Owen won’t repeat the same mistake, even as hope insists that this time the choice might finally be easier.

Kid: Mom, dinner is really good tonight. I'm not lying this time.

Me:

It's worrying though because so many authors use Canva and I don't think it's known that many templates and images are just ... stolen?

QUESTION

So I was going through Canva templates, as one does, and I saw this (first image) and clocked it immediately as a rip of the cover of Angel's Last Mission: Love (fab K drama - second image)

Is Canva just filled with AI slop now? It's not labeled in any way as such.

Writing friend: Okay our sprint is done
Me, opening social media: whew glad that's over
WF: Should we do another
Me: Nah I think I should just stay stuck and wallow in misery
WF: Okay one more sprint it is

😅 Thank God for friends that push you though. They're the real MVPs
