Today the girl next to me on the train asked "are you writing a book?!? What is it about?!?" Sharing in case anyone is wondering how I died. #amwriting #ambeingperceived

My goal was to finish Unhinged Manuscript by the end of the summer and I'm so close! 87k words and probably 10k left to write to have a solid first draft. Can I do it???

Thank you! This review articulates perfectly how I felt about Babel.

Babel wasn't for me for this reason. I am intrigued by the premise of Katabasis though ...

A year ago I decided to write something completely different ... and that's how I ended up with this unhinged book about a bi librarian going to Fairy with her changeling love and encountering gortaurs and bee gnomes and something out of a Miyazaki film called the Concrovian for no reason at all.

How old am I? Last night I went to a hotel rooftop for a friends bday, had a single non alcoholic cocktail, took a 2 hour train ride home, and slept 12 hours to recover. I'm that old.

Some people want fuller lips or a smooth forehead. I'll take a functioning terminal ileum any day.

Reached 70k on my #wip!!! It's messy and a good 20k from first draft stage, but I have a book length thing! #writingcommunity

Choose 20 female authors whose work you admire. One author per day for 20 days, in no particular order.

Day Nine: Charlie Jane Anders (give me all the weird fiction)

Just ... challenging! Whether it's good or bad is probably subjective. Lots of scenes in the field hospital. It has made me want to learn more about the Vietnam War though.

Aww my first book baby was Chimera, about a girl turned monstrous. It never made it into the world, but I've been thinking about her a lot lately. #writingcommunity
