I love that as an answer. As a lefty, I cannot use a ballpoint pen to save my life.

are you, by any chance, left handed?

I’m in the middle of a #BuffyTheVampireSlayer rewatch and the question remainsβ€”what is the worst episode of Buffy, and why is it Beer Bad? πŸ“Ί

Fellow writersβ€”how do you stay motivated when facing rejections during querying? #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

Out here in the #QueryTrenches and honestly it's hard. Rejection today said the story didn't β€œspark”. Um, thanks? #BookSky πŸ“šπŸ’™

One thing about me: if the book is a #Pride&Prejudice adaptation, I’m gonst to read it. πŸ“šπŸ’™

It truly is not. Between here and Threads I’ve found a community that makes it easier to withstand.

I just started querying again. Received a rejection about twenty minutes after sending it! I’ve been cheesed all day since the response included the line, β€œI thought long and hard about this.” πŸ™„
Anyway, this is my wordy way of saying I’m there with you, but you’ve got this!

Hi! I am querying a contemporary YA novel.

Today my kid watched #ToyStory for the first time ever. Then he watched it again. We’re currently on our third watch of the day. This is what sick days are forβ€”sitting on the couch watching life changing movies. #ParentingSky

Guysβ€”you can’t have Canada. She’s a sovereign Nation. I hate to do this, but maybe consider the War of 1812β€¦πŸ“°

I started reading One Hundred Years of Solitude. And I have no words. πŸ’™πŸ“š #BookSky

Cover for The Bride Test. A drawing of a young Vietnamese woman dressed in white, hair tied up in a bun, a pencil in her mouth with a yellow background and a green plane looping a heart.

I finished Helen Hoang’s The Bride Test last night. I adore her writing + love reading about hot Vietnamese people. Khai’s story was so special β€” a look at 1 neurodivergent character working through grief. It didn’t grab me quite as much as The Kiss Quotient but I still loved it. #Books #BookSky πŸ’™πŸ“š

I completely agree. I have a toddler and reading with him has reminded me how special these kinds of books are. Beautiful artistry paired with equally beautiful words? Yes please!

I’ve spent my morning going through #MagicalRealism book recommendations from @thestorygraph.com and their algorithm is absolute πŸ”₯. I’m so excited for the books I’ve found. Anyone out there on a MR kick too? #BookSky

I feel this. The holiday season often leaves me exhausted which then leads to feeling blue. You’ve got this.

I’ve been seeing posts about how many books people need to read by the end of tomorrow to meet their reading goal and ima just put this out thereβ€”the Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus series slaps. There’s no rule that says you must read a book for β€œadults” whatever that even means. #BookSky

I was in a severe reading drought and earlier this month I took out a copy of The Kissing Quotient by Helen Hoang and it was so fun and sexy. It ended my reading drought and pushed me into a romcom kick.

My SIL gifted me about fifteen owl shaped holders for succulentsβ€”reader, I don’t have any plants nor have I ever suggested the most minuscule interest in them.

I hope we get a second season of this show because it was so good. If you’ve made it this farβ€”what are your thoughts?! /End

And I love, love, LOVED the final chat between Helen and Reedβ€”the truth about Jasonβ€” and that it didn’t matter in the end. (12)
