@scalzi.com Reading "When the Moon Hits Your Eye" and the little details are truly what I admire from Scalzi's humor. I did not expect to Google search "Pope Hilarius" to see if they were, in fact, real (they are) and thus warranted a Pope Hilarius II. Pope Leo XIV missed an opportunity there.

“Are you sure you’re all right?” This was the fourth time he had asked her that and I was beginning to understand why she was so annoyed with authority figures all the time.

Took some students on a field trip to a competition/ career expo. I knew they would be given "swag" at the booths, but I didn't realize one table was going to gift them all squeaky toys 😭 The hour bus ride back was long to say the least.

Rough designs for a bumper sticker that says "my cat is learning how to drive". One version is blue and yellow with an orange cat holding a steering wheel with a happy carefree expression. The other version is pink and cyan with a black cat holding a steering wheel with big dilated eyes and a nervous sweat.

I'm working on some bumper sticker designs! Which version do y'all like the most? 🐈🐈‍⬛

(I might do a few more variations too??)

Does it count as killing the cow when it was already undead?

Screenshot of a bullet point list notes app that reads: - sailor moon magical girl book-- for the ✨ vibes ✨ - I miss books like Redwall. Tiny creatures doin cute creature things - The dead don't stay silent-- easily converse (wtf did I mean by this? I think this was a post-dream idea) - therapist who pretends to be a psychic so people will actually listen - mom of a kid who keeps trying to be the "chosen one"

I usually jot down story ideas in my phone when I'm in the middle of something or when I wake up in the middle of the night. Often I forget about them so when I revisit my list, I'm usually confused or amused. Here are a few of them:

Drake meme. First panel, Drake putting up a hand to the text, "Reading the books I actually have on hold on Libby" Second panel with Drake's face replaced with a Libby icon and holding a pointing finger at the text: "Scrolling through and checking out random skip the line books"

What my book hold I've been waiting on for 2 months is finally available?

My lil adventure cat 😺

I love these custom D&D converse so damn much. Designed them with high school me in mind. She would have gone feral.

.... Hell, I went feral when I got them 😅

I liked protecting people and things. I liked figuring out smart ways to protect people and things. I liked being right.

May we all spite the space madness in these trying times.

From a scifi log entry book I fiddle with to fight my own occasional madness.

The energy I bring to the function:

When it comes to my writing I prefer to think outside the bun.

Me working on one book: I need to get the timeline right and the historical lore, plus the clues and foreshadowing to connect to the murderer. Let's not forget the mythical texts and magic system... Oh and--

Me writing my other book: hehe what if they kiss? 👉🏼👈🏼

I love them both.

A Google Doc title that reads "Yeehaw Vampires"

Here's another favorite of mine:

Google Doc title that reads "Brain go brrrr title"

I can never think of a book title, so many of my works have this amount of creativity as a placeholder.

What are your "placeholder title" names?

Thank you!! 🥺🥰

“Our will is stronger, and mine will not fail you.” The promise woven within his words washed softly through me while he held me there in the parlor, our hands still laced over his heart.
… “Cut!”
My eyes snapped open (I was unaware I’d closed them) and a chill ran up my spine as Robin withdrew.

I recommend Fields of Mistria! It's got a lot of playability for being early access, especially with the last update. I'm excited to check out the other games too, they look so sweet.

This can't be true! Otherwise I'd be a snarky, skeptic, overly dramatic, perfectionist, introvert who reads too much and--

Ah shit.

A poem titled "Necromancers" that reads: We are all necromancers: Harbingers, bringing the dead back to life With ink pulsing vitality into their veins, Skin made of paper and scars of torn edges, We write their eulogies on drowned pages and lift their ghosts off the puddles. We are necromancers. We bring the dead to life, In the hopes that it will help us be remembered.

A poem inspired by how I feel when I write about those I've lost.

What's the first line of the book you're working on? Here's mine:

"The sun rose on a frozen desert sand, warming the cold-blooded reptiles that skittered out of their evening hollows to bathe in the fresh heat."
