This guy at Starbucks talking about how he can't possibly be expected to read 10 pages, to have to go back through them to correct them and reference certain things, so it's easier to use ChatGPT

*lays facedown on the floor* I'm so homesick for my story but she's just sitting in drafts while I decide whether I self publish or pursue trad pub or just keep it a secret third thing forever while I work on other projects or give up writing altogether and get another horse

First thing I do after every move is join the library.

I promise you there are no politics in my witchy romance about a group of diverse witches struggling to preserve a multi-tradition holiday festival from a mega-church owning corporation that wants to turn it into a Christmas only event.

Sorry folks you’re going to have to be sincere and earnest and uncool and otherwise lame if you want to defeat fascism

It's Septimus Heap, so I'd live a joyful and chaotic life until I died in the dumbest way possible, like being turned into a button or something

cannot stress enough that they are abducting legal observers left and right and people are hearing about this happening to other people and still immediately going “alright where can i go to help now”

a "pantser" is a writer who wears pants. a "plotter" is a writer who has no pants and plots to steal them from other writers

We could spend years demanding a list be released, or we could just believe women…

Also, at my event at the Jacksonville Public Library, I signed a bunch of stock for San Marcos Books, which graciously sold books at the event. So if you're in/near Jacksonville, you can get signed books from them too (they also ship if you're not near Jacksonville).
