Agents, @johnnatries.bsky.social‘s 0 draft made me laugh out loud and yearn for a fictional man I’d met 3 seconds earlier. Just imagine how lovely her final drafts are! (Teacher of the Year is one of my fave reads in 2025)

Nothing else seems to be working, so I'm going to have to actually *write* my book. I appreciate your understanding at this difficult time.

Named my work Fantasy Football team “Pigskin of a Killer, Bella” so all these boys will know if they lose, they’re losing to Twilight

Here, fixed it.

One thing about me is I’m always gonna be overstimulated by my own hair

People who say drafting is easier than revising, I just want to talk

These end-of-year, inbox-clearing rejections got me youtubing how to self publish

My oldest queries are 100 days old today, so in honor of this trenches milestone, here’s a snippet from page 100 of Swing for the Fences! There is no better vibe than the one Kamryn brings to the function 🥰🤍

I’ve written 25k words in the last week Every last one of them is for my day job.

If the Swing for the Fences crew had a yearbook superlatives page: #UnhingedPit #Q #A #R
