I just popped on Twitter an hour ago and I’m in disbelief how my timeline is actually showing, writers, agents, INDUSTRY PEOPLE after a damn year of poking on to irrelevant shit and soft porn. Like, I’m actually willing to go back in a bit. I have no clue what happened, but I hope it stays that way

🎶 Something I been wanting to tell you…for a long time…🎶

Literally had a guest at the bookstore argue with me that he remembers when he needed a code for the restrooms at our store

I’ve been in this building since 2014, we have never had codes to the restrooms. Hell, there’s no doors to ENTER the whole of the restrooms.

He absolutely wouldn’t believe me

I didn’t know that, I thought you were in Colorado this whole time!

If we can ever coax you down to Southern Oregon, I’m sure the library and bookstore I work at would love you for an event/signing! 👀🙌

I’m waving to you from the Missoula grounds. Would have loved to meet you in person if you were signing any copies at bookstores in town! Enjoy your trip!

Yyyoouuurree not randomly heading to Missoula, are you? 👀👀👀

I’d now like a report of why it’s haunted after it’s identified 👀👀👀

I’m halfway done with The Ones, and imma let this take me gently (or viciously) going into this Halloween season 😎😎😎

Out of Air (pun intended or not intended, whatever) punched me in the gut and knocked the breath out of me, it was fire! That definitely made my top five reads of 2025. It was a great way to have a day off this summer!!

When your parents are visiting for the weekend, so you do the mad dash of apartment cleaning, because it’s too hot for two to three months to clean within the space, and you’re already running a river of sweat before you’ve even scrubbed the bathroom 🥲🥲🥲

I’ll get it together someday soon

This sounds like the Dr Seuss Butter Battle Book. SO! Do you butter your bread right side up? Or right side down??? 👀👀👀

I definitely am taking baby steps coming back inti writing after the pandemic shattered my routine. It’s not easy. I agree with everyone that creative burnout can happen, but shit also comes to you on its own terms. It’s not worth it to force anything.

The pandemic shattered my writing routine. I took a year off from writing when I did get my own apartment, and I’ve been taking baby steps getting back in ever since. I definitely read way more, so the juices aren’t drying up, but the routine I had pre-pandemic is going to take a while to come back

Today I saw a bumper sticker:

“Don’t honk at me, my dad is dead.”

😅😅😂😭😭😭🫂😳😳😵‍💫

Dear Jesus, after a hardcore look at that date and time , I’m literally going to be stopping in Bend on that date on my way to see my parent in Western Idaho. I should just swing by!!!

I’ve literally been telling everyone you’re coming to Bend, but I couldn’t remember if that was coming up this month, or if it already happened, so I’m happy to tell them they can REALLY mark their calendars! 😆

Want a hear a sick joke?

If my calculations are correct after I receive my Labor Day week schedule, I’m going to be working three weeks straight without a day off between both jobs. 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲

🚨HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT🚨
the new Cemetery Boys paperback is a @barnesandnoble Book Club Pick for August!!

📝 a heartfelt anniversary letter
👻 a bonus scene that made me emotional
🔮 a sneak peek of Espíritu (aka the long-awaited chaos sequel)!

Small world, Blackstone is in my valley!

Moodboard for my book — circuswip A circus tent strewn with fairy lights The silhouette of a carriage and coachman in fog A ringmaster’s uniform A victorian woman’s dress Multicoloured balloons The silhouette of Victorian men on the streets A woman with melting clown makeup A scene from The Greatest Showman: an acrobat up in the air with a man singing below A brown man’s hazel eyes

Moodboard for my historical fantasy featuring A woman’s face, a mask, a steampunk butterfly, a forest spirit, steampunk paros, shadow figures, a man’s embroidered waistcoat, a lion’s chin, and a man’s eye

Looking for all of my booktwt mutuals on twitter & new writing mutuals! If you can RT this and spread the word, I’d really appreciate it.

Hey, everyone! I’m Yasmine, a medic & writer of glittering historical fiction & visceral feminist gothic horror. I have a massive love for Mediterranean history.

I’m not a quick reader—I just read 200 books at, literally, one time, cause what I lack in speed, I’m doing in quantity 👀👀👀

That can’t be St. Briavels, though. This was the outside of the castle.

Sorry, I currently have no vampire on hand 😅😅😅😅

I’m halfway through it now, it’s so engaging!!!

Welcome to the Anck-Su-Namun fandom, us Bi’s watch quietly from the background 👀👀👀

It’s a very quick visit, but I also need to send a photo of something I keep forgetting to send you. But me tomorrow or Monday when I’m near it! 😂

I got to see fireflies in person for the first time last night, and when I tell you I’ve never felt summer magic like this before 🥹🥹
