Whenever I see generalized advice a la “don’t query a (genre) novel over (reasonable word count)” I want to scream.

Shelly is incredible and I really, really would love to see news that she's settled at an incredible publisher where she's handed her own horror imprint because that would be AMAZING. Hire her, please!

Snorlax Pokémon go

My son texts me from school:
Mom this is you - Angry Snorlax

And I should probably be mad he’s texting during school or that i remind him of round squishy Pokémon instead of a svelt pretty one but…he’s not wrong?

Don’t ever wake me from a nap

Lololol
