I nearly put orange juice in my coffee. So that’s how my morning is going. How’s yours?

Reposting for the afternoon #WIPPIT crowd because I love this story so damn much, even though I still don’t have a clue what I’m doing with it 😂

#wippit #A #FR SWORDCROSSED X FAEBOUND A cursed trans runaway prince is caught, deadnamed, given a 24/7 guard, and betrothed to his old bully. To cure his curse and live as his true self, he must work with the elf guard to escape before the wedding that none of them want, or die

Becky Chambers x THE CITY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT but #fantasy Between the sunlit wastes and the madness-causing chaos beyond the night, the city of Nightfall thrives, but something is wrong. Neshri’s scars are counting down—perhaps to her true death, perhaps to the city’s destruction #WIPPIT

When sickness kills a third of the kingdom’s people, including the king himself, the scepter is passed to the next heir in line. But there’s something off about the king’s only son—and someone’s hellbent on finding out what. MULAN x DAWN OF YANGCHEN x APOTHECARY DIARIES x 🇳🇬 culture #YA #F #WIPPIT

RADIO SILENCE is a queer coming-of-age drama about a British rock band’s rise to fame. Forbidden romance between band members, rival rock bands, terrible people coming back from their pasts - so much drama for one tour bus! radiosilencecomic.com #WIPPit #GN #YA #LGBT #R #Dis

WISHAPON A teen girl finds a capsule vending machine that grants wishes. She wishes to be rich, but the thing about a gashapon machine is that you don’t get to choose what you get. ✨magical realism ✨author illustrated ✨comparative to Free Piano (Not Haunted) ✨editing in progress #MG #GN #F #WIPpit

Happy #WIPPIT to all who celebrate!

THE INFLUENCER’S DAUGHTER Wren returns to her childhood homestead to help film a documentary about her mother’s parenting empire. But old video shows a toddler who isn’t her. And cellar ruins hide bones her mother can’t explain. Now the Hearth Mothers are watching her every move. #T #A #WIPPit

THE. TITLE.

While folks are getting their chuckles at Trump normalizing his comedic presentation of fascism and Zohran was there to help, this is what is happening:

I don’t come here to doomscroll, I come here to visit the weird little freaks that live in my phone. The doom just gets in the way.

Free Fiction Friday! Our last short fiction from the fall issue. Dark secrets and sweet freedom from R.J. Howell magazine.trollbreath.com/children-of-... @mytherea.bsky.social

I read new writing at my critique group last night and, folks, it was objectively BAD. I cringed reading it. They cringed hearing it. My rough stuff is not usually *that* rough I briefly considered dropping the project for something else. But now? I’m psyched to revise this #WritingCommunity

Good night at 40, a haiku: It isn’t that late Why are my contacts still in? I’m going to bed

I should probably add: only one chapter of the book is in this form. There are also several narrated by a hill, one by an ex-music journalist, and one by a 1930s gravedigger. But some are not as normal as that.

Teenagers are old enough to have sex with middle aged men. They are not old enough to be trans. by Megyn Kelly

Somewhere at the intersection of #writing and #parenting, getting words on the page is still so damn hard even with the immense privilege of both kids in school and no regular day job, but I have a plan! (and it seems to be working 🤞) melissaburkart.com/2025/11/12/w...

Still got it! 4.5 y/o stubbed his toes pretty badly. He didn't want to walk This kid is getting heavier than I can comfortably carry for long if at all BUT I went from sitting cross-legged on the floor with him in my lap to standing without setting him down or using my hands at all #ParentSky

Fellow writers constantly closing pop-up windows while we work, Emma Thompson feels our pain! ♥️

I try not to be nostalgic, but damn I miss times that used to be better. Parcels that would be delivered, not thrown at your doorstep. An actual bank in your town. Being able to make a GP appointment on the same day. Politicians who served the country, not themselves (OK, I made that one up...)

Omg this art is freaking gorgeous 😍

…I think I just figured out the muscles that control the tympanic membrane…

This is one that makes me want to flip tables. NEEDING HEALTHCARE IS NOT A MORAL FAILING. HELPING PEOPLE IS WHAT WE SHOULD WANT TO DO.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

I am going to be so pissed if I now have to worry about developing pneumonia every time the kids bring home a cold from school…

I did not have AI Jesus on my bingo card, but I suppose it’s a logical result of this fucked up timeline.

See you tonight!

If you’re looking for something to read this weekend, I’ve published 13 short pieces this year with 2 more coming soon. I figured I’d make a thread of just a few of my faves that are free-to-read. (You can still find my complete eligibility post through my link in bio) 🧵

First time doing these—looks like fun! 22. Neshri is clawing her way back to “normal” after unwise choices landed her in deep trouble. Every little mistake feels like one more way she fails those she loves 23. She grieves her mom. Their complicated relationship is the heart of the story

Given that store bought raw pie crust is 10x better when given time to warm up, I just pulled them out of the fridge, this house is cold, and I have 2 pumpkin pies to make tonight, you bet I’m running around the house right now with rolled up pie crust sticking out of my pockets bc body heat

seriously the only good thing billionaires have ever given this country is ex-wives

Reminder that anyone who says "a writer must do this," "a writer cannot do that," is WRONG.

I write stories linearly. I always thought that meant for a dual timeline story I’d write each separately then work them together later and mix the chronology as needed Now that I’m writing one, that’s not what I’m doing

Current mc is romance-avoidant (not aro) but I’ve so far discovered one current long term lover and one ex who makes sparks fly. Her sister has 4 partners. They live in a world where monogamous pairs aren’t the norm bc how can just one person fill all those social/emotional needs?

Keep fighting.

Reminder: A lot of great books published this year during absolutely bonkers news & world event times. That squashes people talking about them. Keep buying books please, keep borrowing them from libraries, and for the love of all that's good, talk about them. Post about them. 📚

It always amazes me in writing stories how “I need to insert info here” can become “oh shit this is a tangent” and usually ends up at “that actually ties in and makes the flow into the next bit even better” #AmWriting

The official reveal of our December issue!

For the record, this is me asking because I have some comps I wanna make sure reach people who would want to read them, and since I've mostly ditched socials and completely ditched Tiktok, I have no idea who's big in the space these days

What I find frustrating as an editor is that their boilerplate remains the same, despite numerous complaints, authors pulling works, and SFWA weighing in. Trollbreath makes permanent any changes to our boilerplate in response to author comments. If the change is good for one, it's good for all.

What are some trad pub SFF/H books that have been out at least a year that you think didn't get enough attention? Adult or YA. Marginalized authors preferred, and small press titles encouraged. Not looking for big bestsellers or award-sweepers.

Show of hands for who might be interested in working with me on their writing? (Bc I plan to officially launch this as a side hustle by the end of the year—I’m finally making actual, concrete steps to become the writing mentor I always wanted and never found) #WriteSky
