Best book I've read recently, a tumultuous, poignant picture of 90s conflict in Colombia that challenged a lot of my presuppositions. Highly recommend.

A gorgeous read. My friend @vesnajaksiclowe.bsky.social linked to it in her newsletter.

The East Coast snow storm feels like tears from Minneapolis.

Truly enjoyed this near-future sci fi tome by @nealstephenson.bsky.social on the possibilities and complications of #geoengineering our planet cooler. Radically disparate narrative threads all came together in a certified banger of an ending. 🌎 🔥

Just got an acceptance for a piece I've been trying to place all year! So thrilled. Small victories!

It was fantastic! Great characters

IMHO you should not hit up writers for money after you've denied them for residencies...

I've written three manuscripts in four years and no you can't read any of them yet. One died on submission and I'm querying one and submitting the other to indie presses. 🤷🏼‍♂️ TikTok video by Lara Henneman Writes

I know my writer-friends in the trenches feel me.

🌟 THE LAST SESSION X HOLLYWOOD PARK 🌟

A cult survivor turned social worker inherits a surprise parcel of land. Only problem? It's still occupied by the abusive fundamentalist group that raised her...and they're not giving up without a fight.

For anyone #querying a thriller or suspense novel rn, this list is a goldmine- thrillerfest.com/pitchfest/pa...

Having a pretty good day so thought I'd take it down a notch or five with some #querying

I am now officially querying two books 🤹🏻

Not sure if I need a high-five or a hug

Guys did you know if you check your email a million times a day it does NOT get agents to write back any faster? My continued experiments bear this finding out.

Wow that is dedication! 💪🏻

Received a 'no' from a prestigious #litmag saying my piece "interested them more than most," which is so so funny.

Like, this was better than most of the crap we get but still no. 🤭🪭
