thinking of writing a book

the essence of homeownership is wearing a bathrobe outside to check the mail.

it's hard to hate sundried tomatoes in this tiktok recipe world that loves sundried tomatoes. it is my cross to bear.

my friend just said they have been doing inbox zero for dishes and i said what does that mean and they said "no dishes in the inbox like how people do zero emails in the inbox" and i realized they just self help style branded doing the dishes.

I'm trying to write more personal essays in 2026. This is my first one and it's about how all conversations are boring because people insist they are about bitcoin, the gym, diets, or buying things. Subscribe!! substack.com/home/post/p-...

This year's entry in all the books I read kind of reviewed, mostly I got bored and wrote about other stuff. substack.com/home/post/p-...

My novel KILL THE RICH, with Jack Allison, is still selling books after being out for nearly 2 years!!! A big shout out to Elon and the billionaires for turning into the grotesque monsters that we predicted they would. It's more relevant than ever so pick up a copy: killtherichbook.com

i think it would be fun to introduce a JF-like character to the vanderpump universe. vanderpump uncs

Oh god, @jessefarrar.com and I are obsessed with Shayne Davis art19.com/shows/vander...

I'm working on a new horror novella and publishing it on Substack where Taylor Swift is a serial killer on the Eras tour. Enjoy installment one of billionaire pop princess. kateshapiro.substack.com/p/miss-ameri...

i had a dream that i met the weeknd and asked him why he is the most streamed artist in the world when he's so mid. so that's what's going on in my subconscious.

i don't know what she did to convince millions of people that criticizing her was actually deeply harmful, misogynistic, and problematic but it's something about taylor swift that i need to apply to my own artistry and marketing

people only say "media literacy is dead" when someone doesn't agree with their specific take on said media

i wrote about myself, and how horrible everyone's insistence on using self help coded therapy speech is, and also how awful the people in creative writing grad school are lmao. i might write more things, or this might be the last thing i ever write: substack.com/home/post/p-...

one sign of becoming closer to god is realizing dunkin is superior to starbucks in every way

if you want to follow what i read which is sadly 99% princesses lately, i post everything on goodreads (www.goodreads.com/author/show/...), though i only leave a review if its a romantasy book that REALLY pissed me off like this:

interesting alert: i read a that isn't about princesses. it was about drug dealing special ops soldiers. loved it + feel my perspective has changed (a sign of a good book) but the gnarly deaths made me want to go back to princesses. here is the link yay: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/730414...

I have a project ready to be published on Substack- it's a horror novella about Taylor Swift going American Psycho on the Eras Tour but, with recent events, I should probably just write a cooking blog instead. Who wants to make chilaquiles from a recipe written by the whitest woman alive????

I keep thinking that I am done reading about princesses- that my long-term project about contemporary culture is nearing completion, and that I can go back to good books about modern times. I download something good, and then immediately download 9x books about Eleanor of Aquitaine instead.

what is it with pets and their all consuming desire to eat expensive headphones

I figure this is the right place for this. Big round of applause for me paying off my car loan!!!!!!!

now that i'm done with a year-long very intense manuscript... new fun serialized horror story project coming soon to substack.

this is the kind of insane, unhinged texts i send my husband after not talking to him all day because i'm on a major deadline for a book.

I should post more on here about my life but what is interesting about anybody's life.

about to eat my first crunchwrap supreme

I'm recapping The Valley this season with @robsrobs.bsky.social! I'm excited to dig deep on these psychos. If 100 people subscribe to Rob's Patreon, I WILL do a line of cocaine on stream in honor of Jax Taylor. Listen ⬇️ podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

living during trump must have been like living during henry viii- nobody can shut up about him, countless public legal show trials, and suddenly i hate my neighbor because they're a catholic? smh shut up and let us LIVE.

i don't like palm trees that are tall and thin but i do like palm trees that are short and juicy

I somehow get my best writing done while playing WWE RAW in the background.

there are three types of dog people: people who tie bandanas around their dogs necks, people who refer to their dogs as their children, and normal people

Me and Jack's novel keeps getting more and more real life every single day. WHY DOESN'T THE RESISTANCE LEFT BUY OUR BOOK KILL THE RICH WHERE ELON MUSK BECOMES A POWER-MAD DICTATOR????? BOOKTOK, WHERE YOU AT ON THIS??? linktr.ee/killtherich

i feel like jack allison and @godkatesusall.bsky.social already covered this

so excited to find american thighs by elizabeth ellen (published by MY publisher @clashbooks.bsky.social) at an indie book store in dallas. been meaning to get this and so excited to dig in.

I hate when dudes on twitter talk about "books that changed their lives" and it's always 48 laws of power or atomic habits and nothing good like idk gravity's rainbow or don quixote or honestly i'll even accept dan brown at this point

I'm recapping Summer House this season with @robsrobs.bsky.social. Our first guest is #1 Hamptons fan Mike Mitchell from @doughboys.bsky.social. Cold plunge this season of prestige reality television with us. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

I want a rpg like Dragon Age except it’s Bridgerton and you have to find a suitable partner before the end of the game through stealth and dates but you have to let me have a fully customized pc, a pc home, and a pc wardrobe. Oh and collection system like Skyrim. Oh and you also fight crime.

If I were in the business of writing more Elon Musk satire, The Count of Monte Cristo could easily be retold as a revenge epic on the PayPal founders

really feeling being in my 30s and married while watching chicago med on saturday afternoon

I like my friends on this app as just friends cc: @raft.bsky.social

The Count of Monte Cristo is an awesome book. So sick of new literary fiction and how everything needs to be "subtle." It's boring and I blame Raymond Carver. I just want big characters with big emotions doing big things.

It's amazing how quickly a city builder game turns you into a tyrant. Workers strike on your space station and immediately you're like "IF YOU DON'T STOP COMPLAINING AND DO THIS EVA IN STARVATION CONDITIONS I'M PUTTING YOU OUT THE AIRLOCK."

I just finished Crescent City 3 and it's astonishing what Sarah J. Maas is doing doing- she's creating a horny fairy extended universe where in order to understand one horny fairy book you need to read them all. I mean, the book wasn't good but what a strategy.

been watching way too much degrassi lately

Finished Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner, which was excellent. Not sure if I should try to read something literary after this or to ease my holiday anxiety with a very dumb "high-stakes political intrigue and a steamy, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance."

Need a last minute Christmas gift for the month that brought us the CEO K*ller? KILL THE RICH, my novel about a dystopian future where Elon Musk has his own country and billionaires are executed on CSPAN. killtherichbook.com

Every year I review all the books I read. I read everything from horny faeries to Obama's book list. This year was especially fantasy heavy. I needed to escape, okay??? Sometimes I actually review them, but mostly I just go off about random shit. kateshapiro.substack.com/p/every-book...

Maybe I will use this account to talk about what I'm reading, writing, and watching like a regular person instead of X, where I just shitpost about politics.
