Looking forward to taking virtual pitches here this Saturday, September 6th. Hope to see some of you there!

I'm not sure, but I will say, one time in Dothan, Alabama, I ordered a beef burrito at a Mexican restaurant, and received unseasoned, dusty-dry ground beef rolled in a tortilla.

Which US state has the worst mexican food?

Jesus Sprite Superstar #SoftDrinkMusicals

On the plane back from the trip of a lifetime in Alaska. I posted daily updates to Insta, Facebook and Threads, but realized that Bluesky was left out, so here’s a small selection of the glorious sights. (For the full album, see @heatherosborn on insta!)

Foods that I can never learn how to bake/cook as a type II diabetic, lest I shorten my life span by decades: 1. Cinnamon rolls, sticky buns, etc. 2. Crusty sourdough bread. 3. Red beans and rice. 4. Portuguese egg tarts. 5. New York style bagels. What's your list?

What a weekend! We had a brilliant time in Cincinnati and hope attendees did too. Thank you to all of you for making it happen - and to our amazing faculty, including @heatherosborn.bsky.social, @vickyweberbooks.bsky.social & @keslupo.bsky.social!

In an effort to constantly distract myself from...everything, I have been sucked into WaterTok. And that has led to it's inevitable conclusion, in that I just ordered $80 worth of sugar free drink mixes that I will probably hate. (I have also started dabbling in protein coffee. Help.)

I know the world is burning, but today I remembered that I once unironically owned and wore snakeskin patterned pleather pants and it made me laugh and laugh.

The new Ohio House budget would change the public library funding model, slash $100 million from libraries over the next two years, require relocating all trans/gender related books from eyesight of those under 18, and so much more. This is *devastating* bookriot.com/ohios-republ...

Ohio! It is early on a Friday morning, but this is a Get Up & Get Going moment. Start by contacting your state reps ASAP.

I was at work all day and missed the tariff wildness, but I *did* learn that the Ohio GOP is trying to defund the state's public libraries and make every book the library has with LGBTQ content be held in a back room accessible only by showing ID. You know, like renting a porno in the 80s.

Popping into #unhingedpit as I can today. If I like your post and you would like to submit your project to me, please use this link: querytracker.net/query/Heathe... and link to the post showing my like for reference. Thank you!

FYI: It has been brought to our attention that someone has been sending fraudulent emails impersonating Spencerhill Agents. Spencerhill does not send out email solicitations and we do not charge for any editorial or consultation services.

It’s wild that everyone who wants America to be “run as a business” seems to want lower taxes. That’s not what a business would do if it had a monopoly and the violence of the government behind it to set whatever price it wanted. A business would send taxes through the roof.

Accomplished approximately one and a half tasks I had been putting off for way too long and therefore rewarded myself by buying a bunch of games from the Steam sale. As you do. I swear, little treats are getting me through the next 4 years.

Just thought of some amazing romance book titles based off of 80s teen movies (inspired by seeing Erica George's Witty in Pink): Petty in Pink, The Breakfast Snub, Sixteen Scandals, Better Off Wed, Flirty Dancing... Who has more? Also, goes without saying, #freetoagoodhome.

Started wearing a continuous glucose monitor right before Thanksgiving 😂 and I have to say, it does work wonders guilting you into making healthier choices. Damn it.

Yes it's a plagiarism machine meant to put us all out of work and enrich the worst people alive and yes one request expends more energy than it takes to power Buffalo for a week, but more than that anything to do with AI is just corny dork-made shit. It fucking sucks and so do you if you use it.

Just a quick note to remind everyone I am closing to queries tomorrow in order to try to get a handle on them. I won't be reopening until sometime early next year, so you have about 1 hour to submit to my QM if you haven't already. (Link in my bio!)

I...somehow* have three projects due in the next week and a half? *Because I can't say no**. **To paid work***. ***And unpaid, too****. ****Halp.

As I buy gifts from friends and family this year, I am buying myself an equal amount of treats in response. On one hand, little treats are getting me through this year, and likely the next 4 too, but on the other, it is getting ridiculous. (She says, with 3 advent calendars awaiting December 1st.)

Hi to all of my new followers here! A few notes: 1. I re-post way more than I post. 2. I don't auto re-follow people. I will follow if we start interacting regularly, or if you're someone I knew on the old sites. 3. Please feel free to @ me. I'm happy to chat!

I have some great news to share! I have accepted a position as a literary agent at Spencerhill Associates. www.spencerhillassociates.com/our-team I am excited to get started and look forward to hassling all my editor friends to find out what they are looking for!

Saw a cybertruck in person for the first time and everything about it made me want to shove my gently used clothing and toy donation items through the window.

Today I impulse bought a gallon of strawberries. And then I intentionally bought a pound cake and whipped cream to go with it.

If I somehow die in a cyber truck crash please drag my body as far away as possible so nobody thinks I was driving it.

[puts finger to earpiece] i’m getting breaking news that DEI was not in fact responsible for the problems at boeing

some BODY once told me the world was gonna scold me I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed I was lookin' at the sun which I know was kinda dumb the eclipse has left me blinded

It does make a certain kind of sense that the only guy to ever die of being cancelled did it to himself in order to start a harassment campaign aimed at marginalized people

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility and Happy Easter

Wondering why we universally decided that posts on Bluesky are skeets when bleats was RIGHT THERE. 🐐🐐🐐

New blog post, addressing questions from all over in one place. Please feel free to share, so we have the best chance of reaching everybody who Needs to Know. sharonleewriter.com/2024/02/sund... #writingcommunity

Tom Sandoval was not supposed to be this famous. At MOST he should be a guy that a handful of women across LA have saved in their phones as "Mustache Tom DO NOT ANSWER."

While waiting outside for the dog to do his business this morning I had the thought that the opposite of a meet cute romance is a meet c*nt, and honestly? I would fully read that book.

Anyway I want to point out that the reason why Zuck is raising a very small number of extremely pampered cattle is almost certainly because he’s claiming his compound as a farm and taking advantage of extremely favorable tax breaks on personal land that will never feed as single person in Hawai’i.

BOOOOOO I SAY BOOOOOO www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/o...

Did that lemonade stop killing people or did we just give up on it like with most of our public health infrastructure?

Bluesky at night: poster's delight Bluesky at morning: bad takes are forming

Okay, I finally joined TikTok mainly to get in on the romance BookTok community. But I am easily confused and have no idea where to start. Who would you recommend to follow there? Authors, readers, general funny people?

Also, turned in a completed edit on the first day of the new year, and sent in pitches for three more jobs today. 2024 is apparently the year of getting shit done.

I follow some people for their excellent repost curation, but others get unfollowed at the speed of light when they repost the same information 7 times in a row from 7 different people. Happy New Year!

The neighbor kids made this. Somebody get me a flamethrower before it kills all of us.

When the enormity of the world's horrors makes you feel helpless, narrow your focus. Find one stranger and scold them for posting a recipe while kids are dying. Call out a new mom for not adding alt text to a baby photo. Critique a selfie. Correct a joke. Show people you care more than them.
