Author Genevieve L. James

What is the point of folding your clothes if they just wrinkle anyway? I may as well have just crumpled this shirt into a ball before putting it in the drawer.

Good to see I’m being unfollowed because people are confusing me with someone who stole my handle name and is asking for money. I do this for free to be NICE.

My word … 😭🙈

Okay it may seem bad that Meta appropriated the entirety of the written word without compensating or even consulting with any writers, but consider what the world got out of it: a thing you accidentally tap in Instagram

I just found out my book is on the pirating site meta used to train its ai. This part of being an author is exhausting. 🙃🫠

I have the short version:

Mary Sue originally meant "obvious author self-insert in fan fiction, respected and adored by established characters to a humorous degree"

Now it means "any woman who displays 1/5 of the abilities James Bond regularly displays."

Get it? Got it? Good.

When you have the desire to write, but cannot for the life of you concentrate enough to get any words down... What do you do?

Exactly. Don’t let this 90-day “save” lull us back to sleep. Keep diversifying your writing/author content.

Buy audiobooks & support local bookstores Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

What are some of my favorite ways to listen to #audiobooks ? I'm so glad you asked. Hoopla is awesome because I use my library card and supporting local libraries is coolio! Libro.fm allows DRM free downloads so you can KEEP your audiobooks and a portion of sales go to indie bookstores. 1)

So, tiktok is back in the US. Cool. But let's not get complacent. The government is not on our side, and we need to keep the same energy we had yesterday going forward into midterm elections. Remind congress that they're supposed to work for us.
#tiktokban #vote #votethemout

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

My 7 year old just turned on The Fox and the Hound, not believing me when I said it's sad. He's about to traumatize himself, and there's nothing I can do about it. 😅

Thanks!

Sales have been so slow the last couple of days, so if you see this and don’t mind reposting* my book and short story posts, I would very much appreciate it!! When you’re job hunting, every cent counts lmao 😂🙈

I’ll try and repost everyone back! 🤍🤍🤍

*book posts under media tab 😘

I'm seriously a mess over losing tiktok. Feeling both sad and angry. Joining booktok changed my life. I never, ever would have had the courage to publish #TheSanguineQueen if it weren't for the friends I made there.

😊 thanks

Every person in our government who owns Meta stock and voted to ban TikTok should be fired and arrested for insider trading just like Martha Stewart was.

Book on lap in low light

Reading by candlelight because I am going to spend the next few years cultivating a peaceful nightly ritual for myself for the next year. Less social media and technology.
#booksky #amreading

Between losing tiktok and boycotting meta, maybe I'll actually finish writing book 2 in the near-ish future.

Well, looks like I'm going to need a crash course in using this app. What's up, fellow former booktokers?
