IT'S MANDO AND GROGU DAY, BABBIES!!

Putting this into the world: If y'all do a Stephen King anthology about Pet Sematary, please invite me? That book is my Horror Writer Origins Story.

My heart has joined the Thousand, for my friend stopped running today. 💔 Every time I go out for a nice meal with friends at a convention, I'll think about all the good times I spent at a table with Piper, and how she could go directly from laughing at a smorgasbord to dominating an incisive panel.

Hey, Georgia! It may be a primary, but the election for Georgia Supreme Court Judges is THE ACTUAL ELECTION. Which means, today we must VOTE VOTE VOTE!! Especially for Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan for Georgia Supreme Court Judge.

I focus so much on how stupid and annoying the AI email scams aimed at authors have gotten that I don't really consider how challenging it must be for literally anyone to email an author these days and be taken seriously. Gonna need a passport and retinal scan to believe a book club wants to chat.

WELP, I have just submitted a short story to a Horror anthology with limited open spots. If you think traditionally published writers ever feel more confident about this sort of thing, I tell you now that I DO NOT. Fear of rejection never goes away.

If you get an ad for Remi night guards, AVOID. Don't even go to their website. I followed an Insta link there yesterday and have since received SEVEN emails at TWO different addies, one that I DID NOT GIVE THEM. Unsubbing doesn't help. And reviews suggest they charge $40 to cancel subscriptions.

Books on the docket: 2025 August 25: Brona: The First Druids of Shannara (with Terry Brooks) September 1: *TBA* October 13: Monstera (horror novella) 2026 February 16: Coffee & Conjuring (Arcadia Falls #2) June: *TBA* June 29: It's Only Forever October: TBA (horror novella) 2028 Cottontail

tl;dr: If you're in Georgia, PLEASE vote in the primaries on May 19! This race will decide the future of the GA Supreme Court, which is currently stacked Republican. Vote for Democratic judges Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin if you believe in bodily autonomy and civil rights. Tell a friend!

Controversial opinion: If you list something as 'hand-forged' on Etsy and it is actually machine-made, they should legally be allowed to chop off one of your fingers.

Does anyone use Wantable or Stitch Fix? I try sometimes bc I have trouble finding clothes, and it is WILD how they can send me the world's best pair of jeans and then 8 other items so Not Me and Directly Against My Style Brief that I'm kind of insulted. And their high prices seem to've doubled??

If you found me from Bloom or Star Wars, you might not know about my backlist. I have a huge shelf of comics and graphic novels, too! I'm a Disney Descendants fan and got to write 2 OGNs back in the day. They're available online, although I'm pretty sure you won't find them in any physical stores.

The Expensive Holiday to Dumpster Flower Pipeline cracks me up. That being said, if you're frugal and love flowers, it's a great day to visit the Clearance section of the Kroger Floral Department.

I just successfully razor-cut my own bangs. Is this what it feels like to level up in real life??

I have my tickets for The Mandalorian and Grogu on opening day and I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE BABY!!!

Spam FAQ: 'We want to feature your book!': Cool! Go for it! You don't need my permission or cash! 'Your website needs help': I know! I'm bad at Website! But no one really uses it! 'I can't find your books on Amazon': Do you need glasses?? 'I manage a Goodreads group of voracious readers': Congrats?

On an average day, I'll lift weights for an hour, walk outside for an hour, write 3000 words, and still have plenty of energy to do laundry or complete a craft. Today I had to call someone to fix the garage door and then babysit the project, and now I'm so tired I can't function. Bodies are dumb.

Ummmm is anyone reading the arc of MONSTERA? Asking for a nervous friend.

I didn't know what the FOC date means for comics until I started writing them. If you, too, are wondering why comics creators are always talking about this specific day, here's what it means!

It's the FOC cutoff and hence the perfect day to order Sleepy Hollow: Witches of the Western Woods #2! We've got covers from Andy Price, another Jose Jaro, and one by Corin Howell. Did you peep the OPOSSUM on the first one?? Please order from your favorite place or ask your local comics shop!

If you're nominating books for the Dragon Award given out at Dragon Con, I hope you'll think of my releases from 2025! Middle Grade: Ride or Die Fantasy: Books & Bewitchment (written as Isla Jewell) Horror: House of Idyll And here's the link to nominate: applyto.dragoncon.org/fan_awards/d...

HOPPIN ON THAT BANDWAGON LIKE

Not sure how, but the AI author scam posts are getting... even more stupid? Like, if you can't find a book by me on Amazon, you should probably have your driving license revoked, and you definitely can not have my business for any reason.

The anthology vs. the first paragraph. Why do you want to read this story? 1. It's set in Arcadia Falls, the world of Books & Bewitchment. 2. It includes a lovelorn talking donkey. What more do you need? (Big thanks to @kerrielhughes.bsky.social and Jim Butcher for including me!) Available now!

Howdy! My internet is working for the first time in over 24 hours! If you're waiting on something from me, please let me know. It's been... A TIME.

Your comic in the wild, @delilahsdawson.bsky.social or at my local comic shop, rather.

Annoying things: When you need to cut a page of the comic to make room for a later fight scene, and you're quite pleased with yourself... until you get to the two-page spread that is now falling on the wrong page numbers.

I've been thinking about #BTS (for obvious reasons! That show!!), and the particular brand of their masculinity. Loving and affectionate with each other, hardworking and interested in learning, passionate about their art, dedicated to their craft. I've never felt as safe at a concert, tbh. I wish...

8:45am: (waking up) OH GOD I FEEL WRETCHED 9am: (after taking Dayquil) I actually feel pretty good. Maybe I'm not sick? Maybe I'm faking it?? 1pm: Uh oh. My head. It's full of wet tissue. My eyes are blurry. My nose is a fountain. I guess I am sick. 1:15pm: OH OK IT'S TIME TO TAKE DAYQUIL AGAIN.

May the Fourth be with you! Star Wars is and has always been such a big part of my life, and getting to be a part of this faraway galaxy I love fills me with joy. Here's my first visit with Vi Moradi at the opening of Galaxy's Edge, plus our most recent clandestine meeting. Ignite the spark!

It’s #maythefourth so here’s my oldie Star Wars Adventures 25, I had the chance to draw in 2019, written by the amazing @delilahsdawson.bsky.social #maythe4thbewithyou #starwarsday

I'm so sorry, but I woke up sick. Thought it was allergies, and it definitely is not. Have fun without me spreading germs among the crafting supplies! I am going back to bed.

@delilahsdawson.bsky.social Got this today, and I am loving it. Really captures the faes weird chaotic evil energy.

TODAY at 1:30pm at the Decatur Library!!

me: *travels out of Georgia* me: *returns a few days later* my throat: *hurts* me: OH NO IT IS THE SICKNESS, IT IS THE MALADY, I AM ILL, I AM DYING me: ...or do I have allergies??

So I did a post before #BTS Tampa with some things to know about Raymond James, and I made some mistakes, so if you're going to see BTS elsewhere, listen up! Here's what worked... and what didn't. 1/

Preview @idwpublishing.com's SLEEPY HOLLOW: The Witches of the Western Wood #1 by @delilahsdawson.bsky.social, Jose Jaro, Xenon Honchar & @lettersquids.bsky.social #NCBD #SleepyHollow #TheWitchesoftheWesternWood #IDWDark comicsbodega.com/preview-slee...

Secondhand smoke has always been a sensory nightmare for me. Can't help thinking of my neighborhood friend, whose parents were chainsmokers. Her growth was stunted, she was constantly sick, her clothes reeked, her room was faded ivory, and I'm pretty sure she (accidentally) killed 3 parakeets.

The whole set is up on my Instagram, but after the Tampa concerts, I cannot think of anything but #BTS. Any fellow ARMY out there??

Love the part of the Anthopic lawsuit where every 2 days I get an email telling me that one of my books is included and making me panic because I have submitted multiple books at multiple times and did I miss one? How do I know? Why are they sending me this if I included it?

A thing I am extremely bad at: Resting. Like, I had 3 high-octane days in a row. 2 BTS concerts and a day at Disney to see Vi Moradi. 23k steps or more a day. Bad sleep. Extreme heat. No healthy food choices. And I flew home and now feel I must DO ALL THE THINGS, but my brain and body are DRAINED.
