Some of my friends may have gotten me into K-Pop and now I'm obsessively listening to the music. 🤣 It could be good writing fuel because the lyrics won't pull me away, BUT I might be busy dancing in my seat. 😅

I'm very saddened by this 😭😭

Deeply upsetting news. Anthony Head was magnificent, and his Giles character in Buffy remains one of the greatest and more inspirational mentors in fiction for me. Rest well, Ripper. www.bbc.com/news/article...

@annmrose.bsky.social Congrats on the move 🥳😉! I'm excited for your future!

My 9yo and I are still on and off working on the Warrior Cats fan fiction (I have never read the source material, so she corrects me a lot lol). It's up to 3k words! Not bad. Every so often my partner fills in for me when I'm busy, it's a family writing event 😂. #WritersLife #KeepWriting

I love this story so much! Editors it is amazing! I had the honor to CP it!!

Ope it's nearing Easter, time for my yearly Midnight Mass re-watch!

Michael B. Jordan winning the Oscar for Best Actor for Sinners can live rent free in my head forever. His performance was beyond amazing. You freaking crushed in MBJ! Sinners should've won more than it did, but I'm glad it won some of what it was nominated for.

Today is the day! So excited to see what I get 👀 Query me here: querytracker.net/query/Madely...

I'm open to middle grade queries! #MSWL

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel! The Owl House: The Long-Lived King Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

Bad Bunny's halftime show was amazing. I loved every minute even though I don't speak Spanish at all. Because guess what, you don't need to speak the language to appreciate it! 1/2

As promised, I'm officially open to submissions again - for 1 week or 500 queries, whichever comes first. Because last time when I tried 2 weeks or until 750 queries, I received more than 750 in the first week and had to shut down early. No guarantees it won't happen again.

Normally on a football day, I'm excited for the pizza we order. Today, I'm excited for Bad Bunny's half-time performance! #TheOnlyHalfTimeThatMatters

Excited for the @waywordwriters.bsky.social workshop today! 🤩

Yep

I haven't been online much due to ongoing health issues & work deadlines - but I want to send my love and solidarity to friends & publishing colleagues in Minnesota, and their communities. Below is a useful "How to Help" list compiled by sff writer Naomi Kritzer. naomikritzer.com/2026/01/21/h...

Dear @teedotally.com, I can never get KitKats without thinking of you 🤣😅, here's the latest random find. Happy New Year to you! May it be filled with KitKats lol

Finally got to watch season 2 of #HazbinHotel!! Loved it so much… gotta say though, I’m worried about my fav boi Alastor and what he might be up to. (Thank you for voicing the best boi @amirtalai.bsky.social!!)

The end of last week kicked me in the teeth (emotionally). We had to put our old lady cat down Thursday. Friday I took my daughter and a friend of hers to Urban Air to have some fun, be distracted from the loss of our cat... (P.S. This is an old pic of my daughter and our old lady cat lol) 1/4

Finally, finally watched Haunting of Hill House, I know, it's been out for a while--I'm sorry! But it was amazing. Thank you @mikeflanaganfilm.com for creating it. So many feels while watching it, and not just the oh shit ones while getting scared 😆. 1/2

I feel like this often happens on the eve of November, going full chaos mode for Not #NaNoWriMo 😂

Every so often that scene in The Wire where Bunk and McNulty pretty much only say f*ck pops into my head and it cracks me up. Today was one of those days. That scene lives rent free in my head.

I've got my excel sheet ready for my #NotNaNoWriMo as November draws near. I'm still aiming to get those 1667 words written every day of November. It'll be split between projects but shhhhh. It's still writing! Anyone else doing their own version of #NaNoWriMo? #AmWriting

I've reached the point with my old lady cat where anything she might eat, I'm giving her. Arby's roast beef? Sure, why not! She tried it for the first time yesterday and was actually eating. There are days she's barely eating at all 😭.

Using ChatGPT

I'm working on a YA right now (a romcom + MMORPG) and goodness, it's freeing to be able to swear 🤣 that's one thing MG world doesn't let me do lol
