Fun weekend tagging along at a wedding with a cute groomsman ❤️

Excited to start reading this on my flight to SF!

Oh yeah hi Bluesky friends, so besides sharing my writing journey here on Bluesky, I am also on TikTok and am a menace to my Republican politician dad lol

Trying to completely rewrite the first chapter of my manuscript that I thought I finished months ago and yet here I am revising it AGAIN #writingcommunity #wip

Logically, I understand that I will be done with grad school in about 3 months. Emotionally, I am simply ~done~

I think it's a sign of how cowed the American media is that we're getting pieces like "you have to understand, in Korean culture, it's considered very rude for someone to lock you in a brutal prison camp for a week for no reason." Like yeah, any free people would be offended by that?

Wild that the crowd that was so against cancel culture is now trying to cancel people for *checks notes* not wanting to mourn on a right wing podcaster?

i’m not going to be lectured about political violence by people whose politics is violence

People at work keep sending me marketing materials for approval and ngl I don't even know if I'm the authority on approving these, I'm just approving everything and hoping for the best

Happened to meet Brandon Stanton, the creator of Humans of New York, while getting breakfast this morning and got a signed copy of his new book!

Lived out my dream of visiting Mr. Darcy's house and I can die happy now

London this week 🇬🇧

Good timing that Taylor Swift got engaged the day before I'm going on vacation for a week because there was no way I was going to be normal about this whole thing at work, that's for sure

Made enoki mushroom beef rolls for the first time for dinner and safe to say it will not be the last time I make these 😋

My final semester of my master's program starts today! So close to being done!

In my Gilded Age era ✨️

I will be insufferable on October 3 and will likely remain so through the rest of the calendar year #TheLifeOfAShowgirl #TaylorSwift

It's not even 2:30 and I crossed everything off my to-do list for the day, which felt good for a whole 15 seconds before I became filled with dread that there is a Big Secret Other Task that I have somehow forgotten to do

If they put Ben Platt's cover of "Diet Pepsi" on Spotify, it WILL make my Spotify Wrapped this year I can promise you that

💖

Finally started making real progress in my WIP and wrote over 2k words today! Feels good to get back into it 🙌 #WritingCommunity #WIP

This is basically how my week is going and it's *checks calendar* Tuesday

Read an excerpt of my WIP at an open mic after drinking this very cute IPA 🍺

The astrology girlies on TikTok are right, this Mercury retrograde is ruining me

Had a very creatively fulfilling weekend at a friend's art party yesterday (my visual art skills are abysmal pls don't judge lol) and meeting up with my writing group today!

I love that I'm having a very fun summer full of Europe trips, friends visiting, and feral nights out in the city, but the downside is that I haven't queried any agents in about 2 months and my WIP has kind of fallen by the wayside 😬 But writers deserve a fun little summer, right?? #writingcommunity

The very first agent who requested my manuscript about 5 months ago just sent me a form rejection, but at this point, I'm so focused on my new WIP that the sting of rejection hurts just a little bit less #writingcommunity

Dreading coming back to the States honestly because how am I supposed to leave this beautiful country full of castles and gardens and amazing food for our dumpster fire of a dying empire

I could eat a pastel de nata for breakfast every day tbh

Day 1 in Portugal and I already love it here 🇵🇹

My airplane read on my flight to Lisbon 📖✈️

Wasn't planning on drinking tonight but we're about to enter WW3 and nothing matters so bottoms up I guess

Proud to have voted for Zohran Mamdani!

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Been dealing with a nasty cold for the past few days and I think I just need to be taken to the seaside like an ill Victorian child

Hozier can take me to anti-capitalist church any day 🙏

First time at Gov Ball! 🗽

Medieval peasant chic 🏰

Playing tour guide around NYC because my best friend is visiting! ❤️

Fun little shopping and wine day 🛍🍷

I've seen too many videos today of starving Gazan children and like... what are we even doing? What did any of these kids do to deserve this?

No I'm fine, I'm just ugly crying over this book and will be inconsolable for the foreseeable future

Just submitted a short nonfiction piece to the Ploughshares Emerging Writers Contest! I think this is my third or fourth time submitting, and I'm going to remain delusionally optimistic that THIS will be the year I win!

Not me going full Alexander Hamilton and spending a full 12 hours writing/editing lmao #writingcommunity

"what kind of books do you write?" me:

It's officially been 5 months since I started querying, and here are my stats so far: -Queries: 65 -Requests: 3 -Submission Rejections: 2 -Query Rejections: 15 -No response: 48 It's rough out here in the querying trenches, y'all! #amquerying #writingcommunity

Is it brat to be an award-winning employee? Asking for me 👀
